FAQ

 

Our hydro jet machine forces water at high pressure through flexible hoses. The equipment can negotiate bends and has the ability to clear most blockages ranging from roots to silt and debris.

This high pressure water blasting or jet flushing machine can quickly and effectively clear blocked drains and eliminate tree roots (often a main cause of blocked drains).

When the high pressure water flows through the specially designed nozzles the water is transformed into powerful jets.

The result - CLEAN, CLEAR PIPES & DRAINS!

Electric Eel

To unblock drains we may use what in the trade is called an Electric Eel. This is also known as a "Sewer Snake" or a "Toilet Jack". The Electric Eel is a flexible auger or drill-like tool that removes blockages in waste pipes, drains and sewers.

The engine spins the drill or blade in a clockwise direction into the blockage allowing the retrieval of objects such as hair, combs, small toys and cloth. If the blockage is not retrievable, the Electric Eel can also break up blockages such as tree roots, foam and plastic objects

If the drain is not completely blocked but the flow has been reduced, the Electric Eel flails around the inside of the pipe scraping off accumulated deposits and matter.
