How we do it
- 1
We locate the blockage
We check the chambers and trace the drainage system to pinpoint where the issue is.
- 2
We clear the blockage
We use high-pressure water to break through and clear the blockage, restoring full flow.
- 3
We test and confirm
Once the blockage is cleared, we run water through the drain and carry out a dye test to confirm everything is flowing freely before we leave.
