THE SERVICE
High-Pressure Drain Cleaning and Pipe Unblocking
Drains and pipes can become restricted by grease, sediment, sludge, debris or other accumulated material. When an obstruction builds up, wastewater may drain slowly, back up or overflow.
Our high-pressure drain jetting service directs water through suitable pipework to help dislodge and flush away build-up. The published capability of our mobile jetting unit includes sewer lines up to 300mm in diameter and runs up to 150m long, subject to access and pipe condition.
Jetting can clear many blockages, but it cannot repair a damaged or collapsed pipe. If the line is broken, severely deteriorated or repeatedly blocks, you may need a plumber or drainlayer to investigate and carry out repairs.
WHAT WE HELP WITH

Practical support for different sites, systems and servicing needs.

Gully Trap Clearing
Clearing accumulated waste and blockages from accessible gully traps that are causing slow drainage, bad smells or overflow.
Commercial Drain Maintenance
Planned water jetting for appropriate commercial and industrial drainage systems where recurring build-up is a problem.
Sewer Line Jetting
Jetting suitable sewer lines using our compact mobile unit, within the equipment limits and after assessing access and condition.
High-Pressure Surface Cleaning
Our water jetting equipment may also assist with suitable pressure cleaning and grime removal around hard surfaces and industrial work areas.
OUR APPROACH
How Our Drain Unblocking Service Works
01
Describe the Problem
Tell us where the blockage is, what fixtures are affected and whether water is slow-moving, backing up or overflowing.
02
Check Drain Access
We review available inspection or cleaning points, pipe information, site access and any risks of using pressure in older or damaged lines.
03
Jet the Suitable Pipework
Our operator uses a high-pressure jetting hose to dislodge suitable material and restore flow where the pipe and obstruction allow.
04
Discuss the Result
We explain any visible issues or limitations found during the visit and advise when further plumbing or drainlaying assessment may be needed.
SPECIALIST FLEET / BAY OF PLENTYTHE RIGHT TOOLS FOR THE JOB
Compact Water Jetting Equipment
Petes Takeaways operates a compact mobile water jetting unit suitable for pipes and sewer lines up to 300mm in diameter and approximately 150m long. Actual results depend on the pipe material, bends, access points and condition.
High-pressure water can help shift sediment, sludge and certain stubborn deposits. It is not appropriate for every pipe or blockage, especially where collapse, damage or unknown services are suspected.
Let us know about blocked gully traps, buried access points, internal flooding, older pipework or recurring drainage problems before the visit.

USEFUL ADVICE
Signs Your Drain Needs Attention
Arrange an assessment if you are noticing any of the following:
- Wastewater draining more slowly than normal
- Gurgling noises or repeated gully trap overflow
- Persistent unpleasant smells near a drain
- Water backing up through fixtures or floor drains
- Recurring blockages soon after a previous clear
- Known build-up of grease, silt or sediment in a commercial line
Avoid repeatedly using strong drain chemicals before a jetting visit. If sewage is overflowing, keep people clear and phone for advice.
RESPONSIBLE SERVICE
Drain Maintenance and Responsible Waste Handling
Drain jetting may restore flow, but repeated blockages can point to an underlying pipe defect or a problem further along the system. Our team can identify when jetting is unlikely to provide a lasting solution.
Where separate liquid waste or sludge collection is required, we can discuss whether vacuum removal is suitable. Waste handling and any disposal requirements are assessed according to the material involved.
