Vlog

• This job started as a simple Blocked Toilet
• The blockage was in the main line and it was concrete!
• Check out our jetter at work with the CCTV drain camera
• Watch more of our VLOGS here.

In the video, you’ll notice that our obedient Plumbdog Darius said that he already sorted out the toilet to get it working but when you have a nose for this type of job, he double checked the line for the toilet and found more problems. To the average person or even a less experienced plumber, they would have called it a day which would only cause more problems in the future.

The Plumbing Problem

Concrete in the drains! Now we are used to seeing tree roots, hair and all sorts of usual things creating the need for drain cleaning and drain clearing but concrete is an interesting find. Presumably the concrete entered the drain when the bathroom was renovated.

The Video

In the video, Darius shows us the drain through our CCTV drain camera and gives us a walk through with commentary of the discovery process where he determines where the drain is blocked and why it’s blocked. Then we get to see our water jetter at work clearing through the concrete and dirt.

A couple of interesting points to note which we are always proud to say. Apart from the skills and how easy Plumbdog Darius makes the job look through the camera, our water jetters are custom made locally with power. We’re often called in to take on jobs which others say can’t be done. Imagine being told you had to dig up all the pipes to get this problem solved when we were able to get this done with minimal fuss.

On top of that, notice how far down the inspection opening was for the toilet. We’ve raised it to ground level for easy access in the future which also helps to stop sand getting into the drain. We also found an illegal square junction rather than a Y junction in the drain.

Working With Maintenance Plumbing Specialists

How many times have you called out a plumber only to find that they need to be called back out for the same problem a few weeks later? This would have probably been the same case if someone else was called out to the job saving time and money in the long run and the inconvenience of having to arrange another day off to get the plumbing done at home.

This is why we say we have all the gear and every idea! We are able to sniff out and fix the problems rather than needing to call out other specialists, we are the specialists in our field.

• Good Plumbdogs don’t just dig up dirt, we get our paws dirty and fix things back up again
• Being a plumber isn’t just fixing pipes, we have other tradie skills like concreting too
• Don’t forget to like and subscribe to our YouTube channel.

In this VLOG, one of our top dogs Darius is on the job where pipes have been damaged from tree roots.

Blocked Drains – Tree Roots

Tree roots are one of the common causes for blocked drains. In some instances after the problem area is detected, the problem can be easily fixed but in this instance it’s not as straight forward as blasting some difficult roots with our custom high powered water jetters.

Not all blocked drains are the same. At this location, not only was the pipe broken and needing replacing, Darius has had to break down the concrete driveway to get access to the broken pipe.

If you’ve seen his work before, you know Darius takes pride in his work and does a great job in minimising damage to the property.

More Than Just A Plumber

We pride ourselves in being maintenance plumbing experts and we’re really good at it. On top of that, check out the job that’s done on the driveway. From the start to finish, the breaking down of concrete is done neatly and properly causing minimal damage to keep the properly looking in good condition. After the job is done, another tradie isn’t called in to re-concrete the driveway. Darius has not only re-concreted, he’s done a great job and taken pride in making the driveway look great. This is the standards that we hold to our Plumbdogs.

Another Great VLOG from Darius

In the video in this link, he fixes a burst water pipe inside a brick wall cavity and you will be impressed with how little space he needs to get the job done.

If you are looking for the best plumbers for repairing broken or twisted inspection shaft riser, give the professionals from Plumdog Plumbing a whistle. We pride ourselves in being the specialists in maintenance plumbing which includes repairing  broken and twisted inspection shafts as part of our blocked drain maintenance services.

From repairing the blocked drains to the hot water problems, our obedient Plumbdogs have the knowledge and experience needed to get the job done. If you suspect that you may have a blocked drain issue you should call the team. We have all the gear and every idea and we can inspect your location with the right tools and CCTV cameras.

In The Video:

1. The Location
   We will detect the problem area at your location. If you know where your access points are it can help save time which means money but if you are not sure then that is not a problem at all. Our experienced Plumbdogs will sniff it out in no time. For more about drain inspection shafts click here to see the blog:
2. Inspection Of The Inspection Riser
   The drainage system does not function smoothly if the inspection riser gets damaged or excessive blockage in the pipes. With the help of the CCTV camera, the expert will examine the riser. The blockage can be due to the accumulation of grease, fallen leaves, bottles, and other plastic items. All these items get accumulated for several months, which eventually block the passage of wastewater drainage. The expert first clears the blockage by removing the obstructive particles from the path.
3. Removing The Twisted Riser
   As the blockage is removed from the channel, the twisted riser is taken out and examined properly. The plumber will bring a new riser along with him to replace the old one. Replacing the old, twisted, and broken shaft riser is very important as it will obstruct the particles further and will not provide a hassle-free movement of the wastewater.
4. Installation Of The New Riser
   Yes, after removing the old riser, the plumber replaces it with the new one. Install it in the position where the old riser was located. After the new riser is being installed, the inspection cover is checked once more, and then the plumber closes the lid of the inspection cover that is located on the surface of the ground.

Besides blocked drain repairs and CCTV inspection, we also offer general plumbing, gas leak detection and hot water system installation, maintenance and repairs. If you want to hire a trusted plumber in Perth, consult the team from Plumdog Plumbing.
