This is a handy guide to help you with a blocked outside drain Eltham.
Things you need to do before you begin the process:
The pipes underground are in a straight line and they have a typical route. There is also bending and many angles which should be inspected. The manhole cover above it should also be located. The drain is joined with many sewers too.
When the blockage comes from your toilet, that would be easier to deal with, but if it is far more complex than that, you may need rods to clean the drain. Many rods come with various sizes and you should wear gloves if you decide to DIY.
Locating the blockage in an outside drain:
Take time during the day to check for a blockage. You may need to unscrew the cover and look below. Ask someone to help you hold the lighting and use a spade or strong tool to check if you can reach the blockage. You will need to grasp the cover, so the gloves are essential to wear. With a blocked drain the chamber inside is usually full and blocks the water flow. Using the rods, try to clean the blockage, but be very careful not to damage the pipes. More rods are necessary in case the previous effort does not work.
Use a water jet if you need to. But normally a household does not have this, so you may need to call a professional plumber. It is necessary to fill the hole with a powerful stream of water to push the clog further.
Clearing the drain may require scraping out the blockage with your hands. Insert the rod and push it back to see if you can remove the clog. The traps can be anything from debris to something bigger and dirtier. Try to test the drain once you manage to clear the blockage.
