Foreign Object Blockage Detection

Part of our Sewer Camera Inspection services

Foreign objects—from children's toys to hygiene products—are a common cause of sudden drain blockages. Camera inspection locates these objects precisely, showing exactly what's blocking your pipe and where it's lodged so removal can be targeted and effective.

Warning Signs

Sudden complete drain blockage
Plunging doesn't clear the clog
Snaking hits obstruction but won't clear
Known item dropped or flushed
Single drain affected while others work

Common Causes

Items accidentally dropped into drains
Children flushing toys or objects
Feminine hygiene products flushed
Wipes marketed as flushable
Paper towels or excessive toilet paper
Grease-solidified masses with debris

Why Immediate Action Matters

Foreign objects don't dissolve or break down—they remain lodged until removed. Continued use can push objects deeper into the system, making retrieval more difficult and expensive.

Our Approach to Foreign Object Blockage Detection

Camera inspection shows exactly what object is causing the blockage, its location, and the best approach for removal. We can often retrieve objects using specialized tools, or recommend the most effective clearing method.
