Symptoms of a blocked drain
There are many early signs of a blocked drain, which if identified early enough can prevent any further damage to pipes, drains and general areas, these include…- Probably the easiest symptom to recognise will be the nasty odour from the pipes
- A slow draining sink, shower or bath and in serious cases, not draining at all
- Toilet drainage problems including water level rising or overflowing after flushing
- Unusual gurgling noises from the plughole, this could indicate that air may be trapped in the pipes by the blockage

- Water jetting performed as part of drain unblocking

Picote Smart Spider
Just one of the tools in out arsenal is the Picote Smart Spider. The Smart Spider is a highly efficient tool for descaling pipes and is very effective when it comes to pipes which are damaged or where there may be holes in the pipe.
The Smart Spider works by pulverising the scale in the pipe into a fine dust, making it easy to flush with water, without causing any blockages further down the line.
The Smart Spider easily navigates 90° bends and is even safe to use in PVC pipes.
