What we do

Heavy duty fixes,
done once. Done right.

Six core services, one standard: solved properly the first time. Scroll the stack, then browse the full list of 33 specialist services.

SERVICE 01

High Pressure Jetting

Our flagship service. Truck mounted jetting machines blast grease, roots, scale and silt out of blocked drains and sewer lines, restoring full flow without digging up your property.

SERVICE 02

CCTV Drain Inspection

Stop guessing what's underground. Our camera crawlers travel your pipework and show you exactly what's wrong, from cracks and collapses to roots and misaligned joints, before a cent is spent on repairs.

SERVICE 03

Leak Detection

A hidden leak can quietly write you a massive water bill. Acoustic listening gear and thermal imaging pinpoint leaks under slabs and behind walls, so we open one spot instead of your whole floor.

24/7 Emergencies

Water waits for no one. Burst mains, flooding and sewer backups get an emergency crew around the clock across the Durban metro, averaging under an hour to your door.

The flagship machine

Rods scratch.
Jetting scours.

0PSI of cleaning force

A drain rod pokes a hole through the blockage. High pressure jetting strips the entire pipe wall clean of grease, roots, scale and sludge, so the blockage doesn't come back next month.

STEP 01

Inspect

CCTV camera locates the blockage and checks pipe condition.

STEP 02

Blast

Jetting nozzle scours the full pipe diameter at high pressure.

STEP 03

Verify

Second camera pass proves the line is clean before we leave.

How a callout works

to clear water

No call centres, no runaround. You speak to a plumber, and a stocked van is dispatched, usually within the hour in the Durban metro.

03

04
Job done

Proof, paperwork & guarantee

"Our restaurant's grease line blocked during Friday service. One call and the jetting truck arrived before we lost the dinner seating. Lifesavers."

★★★★★

"They traced a slab leak that had doubled my water bill using listening equipment and opened one small section of floor instead of ripping up the whole kitchen."

M

★★★★★

"Body corporate uses them for all six of our blocks. Upfront quotes, certificates every time, and the same two crews so they know our buildings. Highly recommended."

"CCTV inspection before buying our house found a collapsed sewer line and saved us from an R80k surprise. The report gave us negotiating power. Brilliant service."
