Our Methods

Advanced Drain Clearing Techniques

We use the right method for each type of blockage to ensure complete clearing without damaging your pipes.

High-Pressure Jetting

Our high-pressure water jetting equipment blasts through grease, fat, soap buildup, and other debris at up to 4000 PSI, leaving your drains clean and free-flowing.

CCTV Drain Inspection

Our drain cameras allow us to see inside your pipes to locate blockages, identify damage, and find tree root intrusions without digging up your property.

Drain Snakes & Rods

For localised blockages, we use electric drain snakes and manual rods to break through obstructions and pull out debris causing the clog.

Tree Root Removal

Tree roots are a common cause of blocked sewer lines in Johannesburg. We use specialised cutting heads to remove roots and can recommend preventive solutions.

Common Causes of Blocked Drains

Understanding what causes drain blockages can help you prevent them. Here are the most common culprits we encounter in Johannesburg homes and businesses:

  • Grease and fat buildup: Kitchen drains clog from cooking oils and fats that solidify in pipes
  • Hair accumulation: Bathroom drains commonly block from hair combined with soap scum
  • Foreign objects: Items flushed down toilets that shouldn’t be, including wipes, sanitary products, and toys
  • Tree root intrusion: Roots seek water sources and can invade and block sewer pipes
  • Pipe damage or collapse: Old or damaged pipes can restrict flow and cause blockages
  • Mineral buildup: Hard water deposits can narrow pipes over time
