Unblocking Drains
Along with years of experience, J G Smaill Ltd is backed by the newest technology when it comes to unblocking drains in Dunedin and Otago.
Have you got blocked drains?
J G Smaill Ltd can investigate and unblock drains using a jetting unit and camera to identify and then remove the blockage. The unit has a high-pressure water hose that unblocks drains (called jetting of the drains). High-pressure water punches through the blockage to enable the drain to continue its normal use. Not only that, but this jetting unit comes with a root cutter which is an attachment that goes on the end of the high-pressure hose to cut away roots that may have penetrated the drain.
J G Smaill Ltd can perform a CCTV camera sewer pipe inspection
We can also film and locate the drains with the drainage camera and save these details onto a USB stick. The drainage camera also has a sonde which we can locate to identify where there are any drainage connections or faults with the drain. The camera is also used to inspect drains to determine the quality of the drains, so we know whether to repair or replace.
