Drain Unblocking

Do you have a blocked drain?

Waste Away South Ltd can unblock all types of drains - residental, commercial and industrial drains.

When on-site, and for each job, we assess the problem, and most importantly determine the best approach. With our specialist equipment we can quickly and effectively unblock drains. No job is too big or two small.

How we unblock your drains

We primarily use one of two approaches

1. Hydro Jet Machinery

Our hydro jet machine forces water at high pressure through flexible hoses. The equipment can negotiate bends and has the ability to clear most blockages ranging from roots to silt and debris.

This high pressure water blasting or jet flushing machine can quickly and effectively clear blocked drains and eliminate tree roots (often a main cause of blocked drains).

When the high pressure water flows through the specially designed nozzles the water is transformed into powerful jets.

The result - CLEAN, CLEAR PIPES & DRAINS!

2. Electric Eel

To unblock drains we may use what in the trade is called an Electric Eel. This is also known as a "Sewer Snake" or a "Toilet Jack". The Electric Eel is a flexible auger or drill-like tool that removes blockages in waste pipes, drains and sewers.

The engine spins the drill or blade in a clockwise direction into the blockage allowing the retrieval of objects such as hair, combs, small toys and cloth. If the blockage is not retrievable, the Electric Eel can also break up blockages such as tree roots, foam and plastic objects.

If the drain is not completely blocked but the flow has been reduced, the Electric Eel flails around the inside of the pipe scraping off accumulated deposits and matter.

CCTV Drain Inspection

For CCTV inspections, Waste Away South Ltd uses high-tech CCTV equipment to investigate and assess the cause of blocked drains.

CCTV inspections are crucial when there are problems in drains. Drains block for many reasons and it is essential to physically see the problem before undertaking any major work.

It's a quick and easy process. We are able to quickly and accurately detect the cause of the problem; precisely locate the blockage and assess any other contributing factors.

Most importantly, with CCTV drain inspections, it ensures you have all the necessary information before commencing work. Without this information, it is difficult to recommend an appropriate solution to clear the blockage. What's more, it eliminates the need to dig up the ground, therefore avoiding unnecessary work and costs.

On completition of the CCTV inspection, we can show you on DVD exactly what the problem is. We will then discuss with you the most appropriate solution.

How we use CCTV equipment

When undertaking any drain CCTV inspection, our sophisticated and high-tech drain camera is inserted into the drain or pipe. It is then fed along the pipe and records direct to DVD all images.

Once the blockage has been identified using our drain CCTV technology, the technician then utilised a feature of the camera head to determine the ground depth of the blockage as well as it's precise location.

We are able to then mark the block/blockage area on the ground above. This specialised drain CCTV technology enables us to accurately locate the blockage to within 100mm.
