How we clear blocked drains?
dRAINS kLEEN clear blocked drains using a range of methods depending on the size of the drain, the type and severity of the blockage, as well as the location of the blockage. Here are some common techniques we use to clean blocked drains:
CCTV Drain Inspection
The first step will usually be a CCTV (closed-circuit television) drain inspection to assess the cause of the blockage, before proceeding with cleaning. A high-resolution video camera attached to a flexible cable is pushed or driven into the drain so our technician can visually inspect the interior of the pipe, identifying blockages or damage to the pipe.
High-Pressure Water Jetting
Also known as Hydro Jetting, this method of blocked drain cleaning uses high-pressure water and specialised nozzles to blast through stubborn blockages. This is effective for removing a wide range of blockages including silt, leaves, grease and fat, tree roots and even concrete slurry.
Mechanical Drain Cleaning
Similar to drain augers, our mechanical devices are often used to clear blocked floor waste and sink drains. Removing build up on the pipe wall, breaking up blockages and dislodging obstructions, allowing the drain to flow again.
Root Cutting
For blockages caused by larger tree roots breaking through the drain pipes, a mechanical root cutter may need to be used to cut and remove the roots from the pipe walls. Root cutting will often be followed by hydro jetting to flush out debris and restore the water flow.
Hydro Vacuum Truck Cleaning
Hydro Vac cleaning is a highly efficient method for removing sand, sludge and blockages from large-scale industrial or council infrastructure, Combining high-pressure jetting with powerful vacuum suction, our truck can tackle heavy-duty cleaning tasks with precision and speed.
Robotic Cutting
For extreme blockages within pipes that run under solid foundations. Robotic cutting allows dRAINS kLEEN to cut screw piers or hardened concrete from within the blocked pipe. Thus restoring the pipes internal structure, before repairing with liner.

Frequently Asked Questions
Keeping your drains clean is key to preventing costly blockages and maintaining the health of your drainage system. Here are some expert tips from dRAINS kLEEN to help you avoid drain clog issues:
- Regular Flushing – Pour hot (not boiling) water down your drains weekly to help break down grease and soap build-up.

- Use Drain Strainers – Installing strainers in sinks, showers, and tubs can catch hair, food particles, and debris before they enter the pipes and lead to obstructions..
- Maintain Outdoor Drains – Keep leaves and debris clear from stormwater drains and gutters to prevent blockages, especially during heavy rains.
- Be Cautious with DIY Cleaners – Harsh chemical drain cleaners can corrode pipes over time. Opt for natural solutions like baking soda and vinegar or seek professional advice.
