Drain Cleaning

Clean Drains Down To The Pipe Wall

Hydro-jetting restores full pipe diameter by removing what accumulated — not just creating a passage through it. Camera verification confirms the result.

Cleaning Methods

Six Techniques — One Workflow

01

High-Pressure Hydro-Jetting

Water at pressure strips scale, grease, and root fragments from the pipe wall. Full-diameter restoration is achieved where a snake only creates a passage.

02

Rotation Nozzle Root Cutting

Specialised rotation jetting heads cut through root intrusion and flush debris downstream. Effective on all pipe diameters.

03

Descaling Passes

Mineral scale and calcium buildup in older iron and clay pipes is removed progressively with targeted high-pressure passes.

04

Post-Clean Camera Verification

After jetting, camera footage confirms the result. You see the clean pipe, not just a reduced blockage.

05

Grease Line Clearing

Commercial kitchen drain lines require regular jetting to clear FOG accumulation. We schedule recurring cleans to maintain flow.

06

Combined Inspection and Clean

Camera inspection runs as part of the cleaning visit. If defects are present behind the buildup, we identify them before they cause problems.

Process

Access, Jet, Verify, Report

01

Access and Initial Camera Pass

We access the line and run a quick camera pass to locate blockages and identify any structural issues before jetting.

  • Cleanout access confirmed
  • Blockage position and type identified
  • Structural issues noted pre-jet
02

Jetting Pass — Full Line

High-pressure jetting clears the line end to end. Nozzle type is selected for the specific material being removed.

  • Nozzle matched to blockage type
  • Full-length pass from access to outlet
  • Flush confirmed at downstream end
03

Post-Jet Camera Verification

Camera pass after jetting confirms pipe wall condition and full clearance. Any remaining debris is targeted in a second pass.

  • Post-jet footage recorded
  • Pipe wall condition noted
  • Second pass if required
04

Report and Maintenance Schedule

You receive a post-clean report with footage and a recommended cleaning interval based on what we found.

  • Post-clean footage provided
  • Defect report if applicable
  • Maintenance interval recommendation

Why Jetting

Why Hydro-Jetting Outperforms Other Methods

01

Full wall cleaning vs. breakthrough only

Hydro-jetting removes buildup from the pipe wall. Snaking creates a passage through the blockage. The difference in re-accumulation rate is significant.

02

Extends time between blockages

A properly jetted line takes longer to re-accumulate than one that has only been snaked. Frequency of callouts decreases over time.

03

No chemicals required

All cleaning is mechanical. No caustic drain products are introduced to your drainage system.

04

Camera confirmation of result

Post-clean footage shows the pipe condition after jetting. No guessing whether the line is actually clear.

05

Commercial kitchen drain maintenance

Regular jetting schedules for commercial kitchens prevent grease trap overloads and maintain flow in FOG-heavy environments.

06

Pairs with camera inspection for full picture

Cleaning and inspection run together. What the clean reveals about the pipe wall informs any follow-on repair recommendations.

Common Questions

Drain Cleaning FAQs

How is hydro-jetting different from a plunger or snake?
A plunger creates pressure differential to move a blockage. A snake creates a passage through it. Hydro-jetting removes the blockage material from the pipe wall, restoring full diameter and reducing re-accumulation rate.
How often should drains be cleaned professionally?
It depends on usage and pipe condition. Commercial kitchens typically need quarterly jetting. Residential properties with recurring blockages benefit from annual preventive cleaning. We recommend an interval based on what we find.
Is jetting safe for old clay or cast iron pipes?
Jetting pressure is calibrated to the pipe material and condition. We do not jet pipes where camera footage shows them to be structurally compromised. For fragile lines, we discuss repair options first.
Can you clean drains as a preventive measure rather than after a blockage?
Yes. Preventive jetting before blockages occur is more effective than reactive clearing. We schedule annual or quarterly cleans for residential and commercial clients.
Do you clean roof and stormwater drains?
Yes. Roof stormwater lines, grated pit connections, and downpipe stacks are within scope. These are often neglected until overflow events occur.
