Jet Rodding and Drain Cleaning Applications
Jet rodding (also known as high-pressure drain cleaning) uses a powerful water jet to cut through blockages, tree roots and accumulated waste in pipes. It’s a preferred method for both emergency response and routine maintenance, with no damage to the internal pipe lining.
Our jet rodding services are ideal for:
- Clearing residential and commercial drain blockages
- Cutting grease, sludge, and tree roots in sewer lines
- Restoring flow to stormwater and trade waste systems
- Emergency drain clearing after flooding or overflow
- Pre-cleaning before CCTV (camera) drain inspection
