Drain Cleaning | Drain Clearing | Unblocking Drains
Unblocking drains is our core business and our specialty. Drain Doctor
uses world class technology and state of the art equipment for cleaning and
clearing blocked drains. Effective drain cleaning and drain clearing is
primarily achieved through using one of two methods to clean and clear
blocked drain/s.
Specialised Drain Cleaning and Drain Clearing Equipment
We primarily use one of two approaches.
1. 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.
2. Hydro Jet Machinery
Our
specialised hydro jet root cutters are called Warthogs™. This specialised
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.
Imported from the USA, this high pressure water blasting or jet flushing machine can quickly and effectively clear blocked drains and eliminate tree roots (often a cause of blocked drains).
When the high pressure water flows through the specially designed nozzles the water is transformed into powerful jets. The hydro jet cutter can cut through stubborn blockages, blast accumulated deposits from the pipe walls, and cut through minor tree roots. The result – clean, clear pipes and drains!
