How We Clean Out Clogged Drains

dRAINS kLEEN clears 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 in our blocked drain cleaning services:

CCTV Drain Inspection

A high-resolution video camera attached to a flexible cable is pushed into the drain so our technician can visually identify the 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

How can I keep my drain clean?

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.
Watch What Goes Down — Avoid rinsing fats, oils, coffee grounds, and food scraps down the sink. These can harden and be the cause of the blockage.
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.
Schedule Preventative Maintenance — A professional CCTV drain inspection can detect early signs of buildup or damage before they become major problems.

Can I clean out a clogged drain myself?

Yes. Here are some things you can try to clean out clogged drains:

✅ Baking Soda and Vinegar — Pour half a cup of baking soda, followed by half a cup of vinegar. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes, then flush with hot water.
✅ Use a Plunger — A plunger can help dislodge minor blockages in sinks and toilets. Make sure you have a good seal for the best results.

For Businesses & Commercial Properties:

🏢 Every 6–12 months — High-traffic areas like restaurants, cafés and office buildings accumulate grease, food waste and debris faster. Regular maintenance ensures smooth operation and prevents disruptions.

This approach ensures you only pay for the time required, making it the most cost-effective option for our clients. However, keep in mind that there are factors that affect cost, such as:

🔹 Blockage Severity – Simple clogs are quicker to clear, while severe root intrusion or compacted debris may require additional time and specialised equipment.

🔹 Routine vs. Emergency Service – Scheduled maintenance is more cost-effective than urgent, after-hours emergency callouts.
