Cameras and pressure jetting. Most blocked drains are caused by brakes in the drainage pipes. Tree roots often get in through these weaknesses in the pipes expanding and creating bigger brakes. They can also get past a rubber ring seal in a clay pipe.
Another common cause is back fall, the pipes running up-hill. As a rule, we can locate broken pipes by using the drain-clearing machine. We will only use cameras when necessary. We also repair or replace hot water heaters and gas services.
We can trace and find concealed leaks in the ground or in a wall using the latest leak tracing and finding equipment. Often the leaking section of pipe can be pinpointed to a very small area, eliminating the need to expose large sections of pipe to locate the leak. Once found we can repair, reroute or replace the damaged section of pipe. We only use quality table "B" copper pipe and new fitting and use silver brazing. We do toilet and cistern repairs, backflow prevention leaks in showers.
Active uses the hydroseal method with quality hydroseal products. You do not have to turn the taps off hard. If the taps are worn or unserviceable, we'll replace them. Servicing of taps.
