High-Pressure Drain Cleaning
Our commercial-grade high-pressure drain jetter clears blockages quickly and thoroughly.
Unlike temporary fixes, high-pressure water jetting helps remove:
-
Grease and fat build-up

Soap residue
-
Food waste
-
Hair and organic matter
-
Tree roots
-
Sand and silt
-
Sludge
-
General debris
The powerful water jets clean the inside of the pipe, helping restore proper flow and reducing the likelihood of recurring blockages.
CCTV Drain Camera Inspections
Sometimes clearing a blockage is only part of the solution.
Using our professional CCTV drain inspection camera, we can inspect inside your drainage system to identify the exact cause of the problem without unnecessary digging.
A CCTV drain inspection can reveal:
-
Tree root intrusion
-
Broken or collapsed pipes
-
Cracked drains
-
Misaligned pipe joints
-
Grease build-up
-
Foreign objects
-
Corrosion
-
Ongoing drainage issues
We can show you exactly what's happening inside your drains and recommend the most appropriate repair.
Drain Locating Services
Need to know where your underground pipes are located?
Our electronic drain locator accurately traces underground drainage lines, allowing us to identify the position and depth of your pipes.
Drain locating is ideal for:
-
Locating blocked sections
-
Planning repairs
-
Renovations and extensions
-
Excavation projects
-
Preventing accidental pipe damage
Accurate locating saves time, reduces unnecessary excavation and helps us complete repairs more efficiently.

Do I need a CCTV drain inspection?
If your drains keep blocking, are slow to drain or you've had recurring problems, a CCTV inspection can identify the underlying cause without unnecessary excavation.

In most cases, yes. High-pressure water jetting is an effective way to clean drains when carried out using the correct equipment and techniques. We'll assess your drainage system before recommending the best cleaning method.
Can you remove tree roots from drains?
Yes. High-pressure jetting can remove many root intrusions. If roots have caused significant pipe damage, we'll discuss the repair options with you.
