The blockage keeps coming back
Repeat blockages mean something was missed the first time. We jet the full line and inspect with CCTV to find the root cause — not just the symptom.
I need the pipe cleared without shutting down the site
Our truck-mounted systems work from above ground through existing access points. Most commercial jetting jobs are done in hours, not days.
The last mob couldn't tell me what was actually wrong
Every job gets CCTV footage and a written report. You see exactly what was inside your pipe and what condition it is in.
I need documentation for council or insurance
We provide timestamped footage, condition reports, and compliance documentation. Council, body corporate, or insurance — covered.
Efficient drain and sewer cleaning for councils and commercial networks. Removes blockages and restores flow.
Accurate diagnosis before any pipe work — honest, documented assessments every time.

Non-destructive digging (NDD) uses high-pressure water or air combined with vacuum suction to safely excavate soil around underground utilities and structures without causing damage. It is the safest method for exposing buried gas, electric, water, communications, and fibre-optic services.
Hydro excavation uses pressurised water to break up soil, which is then removed by vacuum suction. Dry vac excavation uses high-volume airflow instead of water, meaning no sludge is created and excavated material can be reused as backfill.
Potholing is the process of digging a small test hole to safely expose and confirm the location, depth, and condition of buried utilities before major excavation begins. It is a standard safety requirement on most civil and construction sites.
Yes. Non-destructive digging is specifically designed for safe excavation around live gas, electric, water, communications, and fibre-optic services. All technicians are DBYD certified for service location before any digging commences.
