Hydro jetting and camera inspection to clear blocked drains properly — not just temporarily. We find the cause, not just the symptom.
Many drain clearance companies will jet your drain and leave. The blockage returns weeks later. We take a different approach: every clearance is followed by a camera inspection to identify why the drain blocked in the first place.
If there's a structural issue — root intrusion, a cracked pipe, a misaligned joint — we'll find it and give you clearly priced options to repair it. No guesswork, no repeat call-outs.
Tree roots are the most common cause of recurring blockages. They enter through joints, grow inside the pipe, and eventually block flow completely. Hydro jetting removes them. If the pipe itself is damaged, we quote the right repair from the CCTV report.
Kitchen drains accumulate fat, grease and detergent scale over time. High-pressure jetting cuts through even hardened deposits and restores full pipe diameter.
Leaves, soil, sand and foreign objects accumulate in stormwater drains, especially after heavy rain. Regular clearing prevents flooding.
A structurally damaged pipe allows soil ingress which builds up into a blockage. The camera finds the damage so the right repair can be quoted.
Ground movement causes pipe sections to separate or offset. The step created by a misaligned joint catches debris and builds up over time.
Wipes, rags, toys and other items that shouldn't be in drains cause immediate blockages and can damage jetting equipment if not identified first.
We offer same-day service across most of Auckland for drain clearances. Call 0800 436 347 and we'll let you know our earliest available time. For urgent drain problems, see our drain repair service.
No — modern hydro jetting uses controlled water pressure calibrated to the pipe material. Clay, concrete, cast iron, and PVC pipes are all safe. We always run a CCTV inspection first to assess the pipe condition before jetting.
Recurring blockages in the same location usually indicate a structural problem — root intrusion through a joint, a crack allowing soil ingress, or a displacement creating a step that catches debris. A camera inspection will show exactly what's happening.
We recommend it, especially for recurring blockages. The camera pays for itself immediately by confirming whether the clearance worked and identifying any underlying issues that would cause the drain to block again.
