Blocked drains or pipes are a serious matter. These can cause a range of problems including:

Collapsed and Broken Drains

Collapsed & Broken drains also cause blockages. CCTV Drain Inspections allow visual footage of the problems and determine exactly whats happening in the drains. Best method of repair can then be discussed.

Blocked Drain - Tree Root Intrusion

Tree roots are the most common cause of blocked drains. Roots generally enter drains from cracked joints and restrict flow, in turn causing blockages.

The right tools and the right experience makes the difference

Clay pipes have a strong tendency to collapse and break, they also allow tree roots to enter easily. Platinum Plumbing Solutions has the ability to reline problem areas or entire mainlines thus preventing any unnecessary digging or destruction of surrounding. Relining is also a great & cost effective solution for repairing pipelines where poor & difficult access is present or where under concrete, driveways, landscaped gardens, swimming pools or other structures.
