Why does my drain keep reblocking?

If your drain reblocks after being cleared within a short time frame i.e. 3 months, there is normally a more significant problem which needs to be addressed.  At this stage we are able to use a camera to determine the cause of the problem along with the location and depth.  We can then carry out repairs as required.
