Describe the Problem

2
On-Site Diagnosis
Your engineer checks all access points first. If needed, they use a CCTV drain camera, since that shows the exact spot and cause of the blockage.

Clear the Blockage
Your engineer clears the blockage using high-pressure jetting, rodding, or a drain snake. They pick the method to suit your pipe type, since the wrong one can cause damage.
