Trusted Drain Cleaning And Drain Jetting

Drain cleaning or clearing with a hydro excavation truck is a highly effective and non-invasive solution for removing blockages and debris from drainage systems. The high-pressure water jetting system of the hydro vacuum truck uses water at a pressure of up to 3500 psi to break up and flush away blockages and debris, while the vacuum system simultaneously sucks up the debris and water from the drain. This approach is highly effective for clearing out sediment, grease, oil, and other materials that can cause blockages and backups in the drain system.

NON-DESTRUCTIVE

Vacuum excavation reduces the risks when exposing or digging around utilities. There are two methods of doing this: either by water or air.

COST-EFFECTIVE

Hydro-excavation is a cost effective solution due to the amount of labor and time saved. It is up to 4 times cheaper than traditional excavation, with less service interruptions as well as insurance rates!

NON-EVASIVE

Hydro excavation is a cleaner and more efficient way to construct roads, buildings. It allows for quick work with little environmental impact while preventing potential hazards from buried utilities in the area

Jet Rodding To Clear Blocked Drains

High-pressure water systems are used for drain clearing on the to remove clogs and blockages, in a process known as jet rodding.

They are also highly versatile and can be used in a wide range of applications, including cleaning out storm drains after a heavy rain or flood, removing sediment and debris from catch basins, and clearing blockages from sewer pipes. By using hydro vacuum trucks for drain cleaning, property owners and municipalities can ensure the safe and efficient operation of their drainage systems, helping to prevent costly repairs and potential environmental hazards.

To locate the source of the blockage, CCTV drain cameras guide the jet rodder, which can also detect future blockages. SEQ Vacuum Excavation employs jet rodding services for both sewer and stormwater drains, which often experience blockages due to debris buildup, broken or crushed pipes, foreign objects such as tree roots, cracks, and breakages in the pipes.

Hydro Excavation: The Benefits of our Drain Clearing

Major pipe blockages: When there is a significant blockage in a pipe, jet rodding is often the most effective solution. Major blockages can occur directly from the fixture (toilet, sink, basin, etc.), the drain of the fixture, or in the main sewer line. Jet rodding uses high-pressure water jets to blast away debris, such as tree roots, fatbergs, and other obstructions, that have built up and caused the blockage.

Unobstructed flow:
The drain pipes and sewer pipes are the channels for removing waste water away from a property. It’s essential that these pipes remain clear at all times to ensure an unobstructed flow and prevent the inconvenience of backflow when amenities are used. Jet rodding helps maintain the smooth flow of water by clearing blockages that cause backups, flooding, and other issues.

Preventing backflow:
When pipes become blocked, it can cause backflow, which is when water and sewage flow back into the fixtures instead of away from the property. This can cause significant damage to the property, and it can also be a health hazard. Jet rodding can prevent backflow by clearing blockages and ensuring that water flows freely through the pipes.

Regular maintenance:
Regular drain cleaning can help prevent blockages from occurring in the first place. However, it’s usually not until a blockage occurs that a jet rodding plumber is booked to fix the problem. By scheduling regular maintenance and cleaning, you can prevent blockages from occurring and keep your pipes clear.

Efficient solution:
Jet rodding is a modern, efficient way to clear a major blockage. It’s less time-consuming than using draining rods, snakes, and electric eels, and it can blast away even the toughest obstructions quickly and easily. The high pressure of jet rodding clears a blockage in an efficient manner, making it an ideal solution for property owners who want to resolve blockages quickly and minimize downtime.

We Are Better Than A Plumber For Drain Cleaning

While plumbers are experts in diagnosing and fixing plumbing issues, a hydro excavation truck offers some unique advantages when it comes to dealing with blocked drains and sewers.
Here are some points of difference:

More efficient: Hydro excavation trucks are typically faster and more efficient than traditional drain cleaning methods, which can take longer and may require multiple attempts to clear a blockage. This means that you can get your drain system back up and running in less time, saving you money and hassle.

Non-invasive: Hydro excavation trucks use a non-invasive approach to drain cleaning, meaning that they minimize the risk of damage to the drainage system and surrounding areas. In contrast, traditional drain cleaning methods can be more invasive, requiring the use of harsh chemicals or tools that can damage pipes and other components.

More precise: Hydro excavation trucks use high-pressure water jets and specialized nozzles and attachments to precisely target and remove blockages and debris from drain systems. This means that they can be more effective than traditional drain cleaning methods at removing specific types of blockages.

Environmentally friendly: Hydro excavation trucks use only water and do not require harsh chemicals that can harm the environment. This means that they are a more eco-friendly option for drain cleaning and clearing.

Versatile: Hydro excavation trucks are highly versatile and can be used in a wide range of drain cleaning applications, from storm drains and catch basins to sewer pipes and septic systems. This means that they are a more versatile solution than traditional drain cleaning methods, which may only be effective in certain types of drain systems or for certain types of blockages.

Cost-effective: Using a hydro excavation truck for drain cleaning or clearing can be more cost-effective than hiring a plumber, especially for larger and more complex drain systems. This is because hydro excavation trucks are designed to quickly and efficiently remove blockages and debris, minimizing the amount of time and labor required for the job.
