Drain rodding is a highly skilled technique that’s best left to the professionals. When carried out by those unskilled, the results are usually lacklustre. Plus, there’s also the possibility that further damage could be caused to the drains. When used correctly, drain rods are a highly effective tool for breaking down and removing stubborn blockages. When combined with drain jetting, the results are incredible.
Drain rods are comprised of polypropylene and measure around a metre in length. These rods can be attached to one another, increasing the total length, approaching several metres. These rods can be deployed, reaching deep in the pipework, and each one has a slicing tool at the end. With the slicing tool, rods are used to cut and pull at the blockage, deconstructing it so that it can be quickly cleared.
If tree roots are present, these can be quickly sliced and wound up, allowing for easy removal. Smaller blockages can be removed entirely using drain rods. Larger blockages can be broken down then blasted away using drain jetting equipment. This combination removes the entire blockage and leaves the drains spotless. An advantage of drain rodding is that blockages can be easily removed without excavating the pipe.
Drain rodding is necessary to keep your drains flowing freely, and, as such, we recommend having your drains inspected every so often, especially around summer and winter. That’s because spring sees a lot of new growth, and roots can often cause issues when they cross paths with pipes. In autumn, trees shed their leaves, and these can find their way into drains, causing blockages.
Having your drains unblocked ensures that your sinks drain quickly, with no slow-draining or standing water. Any unpleasant odours are kept in check. Plus, the risk of flooding in your home is eliminated, which is especially important as this water can often be contaminated with human waste. Drain rodding also helps to remove things like tree roots that could damage your drains.
At No1 PHD, we recognise that everyone has different requirements, and so it’s important to us that we provide the widest possible range of services. By offering all these services under one roof, customers won’t need to look elsewhere and deal with multiple companies. Our range of services isn’t just intended to deal with drainage issues; we can also attend to heating and plumbing requests.
Of the drainage services we provide, just some of the options available include:
This is by no means an exhaustive list of the drainage services we provide here at No1 PHD. If you require a service that’s not listed above, you’ll likely find it mentioned on our website. Alternatively, you can learn if we provide a particular service by giving our team a call and speaking to us directly.
If you’re looking for a team that boasts highly efficient methods for unblocking drains, look no further than No1PHD. In addition to using drain rods, we also employ the use of powerful high-pressure water jetting equipment. We have a variety of machines on hand, starting with small domestic machines to large commercial machines that can output jets of water approaching 4,000 pounds per square inch (PSI).
Drain jetting works by firing high-pressure jets of water directly into the drains. These jets travel through the pipes, blasting away any blockages and flushing them out of the system entirely. Even large blockages can be quickly dislodged, and the high-pressure water will carry away any debris that might become stuck to the pipe walls.
So effective is this approach that any drain can be restored to full functionality without requiring invasive action.
Besides being effective at removing the blockage, drain jetting has an added benefit. The powerful jets of water remove any fats, oils, greases, sludge deposits, bacteria, and mould that might be clinging to the pipe walls. The removal of these helps eliminate odours and prevents the pipework from gumming up again in the future, so long proper waste disposal actions are followed.
While it’s impossible to have pipes smelling as fresh as a daisy, drain jetting certainly goes a long way to leaving drains smelling a lot better than before.
Problems don’t occur during normal working hours, so a drainage company that isn’t available when you need them is somewhat unhelpful. At No1PHD, we boast a team that’s on call 24-hours a day, seven days a week. If you’ve encountered a problem with your drainage at 3 AM, you need only call us.
We’ll look to have a member of our team despatched as quickly as possible, and they’ll aim to arrive quickly, so you’re not left dealing with the problem any longer than is necessary. We offer swift callouts and charge no fee for us simply arriving. We’ll only ever charge you for the work that we carry out.
Once we arrive, our drainage specialist will set about determining the blockage’s location, cause, and size using cutting-edge CCTV cameras. Upon identifying the problem, they’ll provide you with a report of their findings and their recommendations. You’ll be quoted for the repairs with all costs listed upfront and no obligation to commit.
Back in the 1950s, pitch fibre drains were introduced as a modern alternative to traditional, more expensive options. They were built using wood cellulose and coal tar and were designed to be lightweight and inexpensive. They only had a lifespan of around 40 years, and beyond this, they were considered to be ticking time bombs. As a result, their popularity only persevered until the 1970s, when pitch fibre drains were scrapped.
The main issue with pitch fibre drains is that they don’t handle being continually exposed to water, fats, oils, greases, and chemicals. Over time, these cause the pipes to weaken, which, combined with the weight of everything above pressing down, causes the pipes to collapse and become misshapen. In short, pitch fibre pipes are ill-designed for their intended purpose.
If your property was built at some point between the 1950s and 1970s, it’s important that you get your drains inspected. If pitch fibre drains are present, there’s a good chance they are already showing signs of deterioration, assuming they haven’t deteriorated entirely already.
The good news is that the No1PHD team has plenty of experience excavating and replacing pitch fibre drains. We can replace the entire system, or if it’s still in relatively good condition, we can install a drain liner to help strengthen the pipe wall. We’ll discuss the options with you and determine which option is right for you.
