Step 2: Plunger

The next step is to use a plunger to try and dislodge the blockage. This method is effective for minor blockages and is usually the first step we take.

Step 3: Drain Cleaning

If the plunger method does not work, we will use a drain cleaning solution to dissolve the blockage. This solution is safe for your pipes and will break down any greasy or fatty substances that may be causing the blockage.

Step 4: High-Pressure Water Jetting

In cases where the blockage is severe, we will use a high-pressure water jetting system to clear the pipes. This method involves using a high-pressure jet of water to break down the blockage and clear the pipes.
