Safety First

Working with sewer systems can expose individuals to health risks. Always ensure safety by using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and adhering to established safety protocols.

• Always wear PPE – gloves, boots, coveralls and face masks – when handling sewer materials.

• Ensure proper ventilation and avoid confined spaces without adequate safety measures.

• Shut off water supplies where necessary to prevent further backing up.

• Never enter a manhole or closed sewer without professional training and appropriate safety gear.

• Follow local health and safety guidelines at all times.

Tools & Materials

1. Assess the blockage – inspect accessible manholes or drains to determine the location and severity of the obstruction.

2. Shut off water supplies if necessary to prevent further backup and minimise risks.

3. Deploy specialised equipment – use a vacuum truck or high-pressure jetter to clear debris.

4. Clear the blockage – utilise appropriate techniques to dislodge and remove accumulated sludge and obstructions.

5. Conduct a camera inspection – verify that the sewer line is fully cleared and identify any potential issues.

6. Dispose of waste and cleanse the area – ensure all debris is properly removed and equipment is decontaminated.

7. Reconnect services and test drainage – confirm normal water flow and system functionality.

Completion Checks

• Confirm that water flows freely through the sewer line without obstruction.

• Validate that the camera inspection reveals no residual blockages or damage.

• Ensure that all equipment is cleaned, decontaminated and safely stored.

• Check that all connected services are fully operational and secure.

When to Call a Pro Instead

If the blockage is severe, recurrent, or if structural damage and contamination hazards are suspected, it is advisable to call a certified sewer clearance expert or drainage engineer. This ensures compliance with local regulations and guarantees a safe, long-lasting solution.
