🚨🔧 WHEN THE BLOCKAGE ISN’T WHERE YOU THINK IT IS… 🔧🚨
Another tricky commercial maintenance plumbing job completed by the team at DK Plumbing and Gas Fitting. 💪
We attended a 3-storey building where wastewater from the upper floors was backing up and overflowing through a 1st-floor basin. 💦🚽
Our inspection identified a heavily deteriorated old galvanised sewer section, which had become badly rusted and restricted with years of built-up gunk. 🤢
We got stuck into it! 🔨
✅ Removed and replaced the deteriorated sewer section
✅ Cleared the blockage and built-up debris
✅ Unblocked the remaining sewer line servicing the 2nd & 3rd floors
✅ Tested the system and restored proper flow
But that wasn’t the only issue we found while on site… 👀
A separate ground-floor partial blockage had previously been assessed by other contractors, who believed the issue was located at the main sewer.
Our inspection told a different story. 🔎
We found tree roots had entered the pipe and were restricting the flow. 🌱🚨
We exposed the affected section, jackhammered the surrounding concrete and removed the roots and debris that were causing the restriction. 💪🔨
No guessing. No unnecessary work. Find the problem, fix the problem. 👨🔧✅
That’s what you want from your plumbing maintenance team. 🔧
