Simply put, if dRAINS kLEEN cannot do it, no one can.
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to clear clogged pipes and sewer lines. It removes debris, grease, scale, and other build-ups from pipe interiors. Moreover, the water jet cuts through tree roots and mineral deposits. This method cleans pipes thoroughly and restores full drainage flow.
dRAINS kLEEN employs hydro jetting for civil, industrial, commercial, and residential projects. This non-invasive, eco-friendly process avoids harsh chemicals and protects pipe interiors. Additionally, hydro jetting prevents future blockages by cleaning pipes comprehensively.
We determine the blockage type, before deciding on the best equipment to complete the job and selecting from a range of jetting nozzles. Each nozzle serves a specific application and suits various situations. We attach these nozzles to the jetting hose for cutting roots, clearing debris, and removing stubborn blockages.
Our high-pressure water jetting machines clean pipes up to one meter in diameter while jetting nearly 100 liters of water per minute.
For larger and more complicated jobs, we also deploy a 6000Lt jett / vac combo unit. This equipment boosts our efficiency in handling complex plumbing challenges.
The iPEK:ROVION® crawler camera systems are used to survey and report on both new and existing civil / industrial drainage systems, contributing to large part of the industrial / commercial drain services we offer. With this drain inspection equipment we can survey drains and pipes up to 2 meters+ in diameter and up to 200 meters from a single entry point.
Reporting is done on WinCan, on which we follow ‘Australian Specification Standards’ and cover all aspects legally required. Reports are turned around swiftly and presented for submission to the appropriate body for approval.
We capture crisp video footage & still images, when surveying drainage lines, ensuring our reports are comprehensive and coding is accurate.
At dRAINS kLEEN, we accurately detect and trace underground drainage systems and utilities. We use a transmitter and receiver unit to locate pipes without excavation. This method enables our plumbers to pinpoint a pipe’s size, location, depth, and direction.
Additionally, electronic pipe location helps us avoid damaging existing infrastructure. It also allows us to plan repairs efficiently and map out underground pipe networks. Moreover, our non-invasive technique identifies the exact position and depth of pipes. This approach reduces costly mistakes and ensures safety during digging.
Laser profiling scans the internal pipe structure creating a profile that clearly identifies defects and precisely proves pipe ovality (roundness). Perfect for monitoring ongoing structural changes that may be happening within a damaged pipe.
At dRAINS kLEEN, we repair broken internal drain pipes up to 400mm. We avoid costly excavations and preserve your foundation by using a proven sectional pipe-relining method.
Our industry-leading technology applies a high-quality resin to the pipe walls. This resin creates a new pipe inside the damaged one, eliminating the problem effectively.
After completion, the resin fills every join and crack. It reinforces the damaged area and seals the break completely. Consequently, your drain receives a smooth, strong, watertight lining. This durable solution lasts for over 50 years, ensuring long-term reliability.

N.B: We also reline long runs of damaged pipe with our inversion drum, and do junction relining

At dRAINS kLEEN, we use CCTV technology to offer accurate condition reports that help engineers and contractors assess the suitability of pipes for reuse, diagnose problems, and pinpoint the location of defects.
