How we can clean and unblock your drains

  • High Pressure water jetting

    We use pressurised water that is forced through a nozzle at the end of a long hose using a powerful pump and inserted into the pipe or drain to provide a deep clean without using chemicals.

    High-pressure drain jetting is usually successful in shifting the issue by breaking it and forcing it through the system with high-pressure water.

  • Tanker

    For more stubborn blockages or obstructions our tanker could be utilised to draw it out.

  • Roots Removal

    Roots are a common cause and will prohibit the flow and cause blockages. These can be removed using robotic cutting tools.

  • Descale

    Descaling removes the build up and deposits from inside the pipe. Cast iron pipes can also have a build up of encrustation which can also cause issues.

    Descaling prevents blockages and improves the flow of the water.

TIPS TO AVOID BLOCKED DRAINS

At Equiflo Solutions, we believe that prevention is the key to avoid blocked drains and we want to share some of our tips to help our customer save money and limit damage to their property.

The Three P’s Rule

It’s easy to avoid blockages in your home if you always follow ‘The Three P's Rule’. The only things that should go down your toilet are Pee, Poo and Paper. Everything else? Put it in the bin!

We often find items such as wet wipes, sanitary items, cotton buds, oils and fats that are flushed down the toilet or that go down the kitchen, laundry or bathroom sink ending up in your drainage causing blockages.

One of our biggest no, no’s is flushable wipes! Trust us when we say, these wipes take forever to degrade, leaving them to build up within your drains causing major blockages. Oh…. and RATS love them too to make cosey beds right under your feet.
