Drain cleaning removes debris, built-up grime and blockages from drains, pipes, pits and manholes to restore flow and help prevent problems such as slow drainage, clogs and backups.
Blocked drains may require prompt cleaning to restore flow and reduce the risk of further damage. Regular drain maintenance can also help manage recurring blockages and build-up within drains, pipes and pits.

Blocked Drains Caused by Tree Roots
CCTV Drain Surveys
CSA Specialised Services specialises in industrial drain cleaning, which is often more complex due to the nature of industrial plumbing systems and typically requires more preventative maintenance to help prevent business interruption.
Our industrial drain services typically offer a range of services to address various issues with drains, pipes, and pits. These services may include:
Pipe Repairs and Tree Root Removal
To repair damaged pipes or remove tree roots, we use patching materials or replace the damaged section of the pipe as needed. This can help to restore the proper functioning of the drain or pipe and prevent future issues.
Conducting CCTV Drain Surveys
We provide CCTV inspection services to inspect the inside of drains and pipes to diagnose issues and identify the location and cause of blockages or damage.
Emergency Drain Cleaning
We offer emergency services to address urgent issues with drains, pipes, and pits which involve responding to calls outside of regular business hours and providing urgent repairs or maintenance services.
Clearing Blockages
We use a variety of methods to clear blockages and debris from drains, pipes, and pits, such as high-pressure jetting and vacuum systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Recurring drain blockages can be caused by accumulated debris and build-up, tree-root intrusion, severe obstructions or damage to the pipe itself. If a drain repeatedly blocks after being cleared, identifying the underlying cause can help determine whether further cleaning, inspection or repair is needed.
Common signs include slow drainage, repeated blockages, backups and overflowing drains or pits. Recurring problems can indicate that material is building up inside the drainage system or that there is an underlying issue that needs further investigation.
Drain jetting uses water delivered through a jetting hose to loosen and clear suitable blockages and built-up material from inside drains and pipes. It can help restore flow and remove material from internal pipe surfaces without excavation, depending on the blockage and condition of the drainage system.
Drain jetting can be suitable for many drainage systems, but the condition of the pipework needs to be considered before cleaning. Older, cracked or otherwise damaged pipes may require further assessment to determine whether jetting is appropriate. Where the pipe condition is uncertain, a CCTV inspection can help identify damage and guide the next step.
A CCTV drain inspection can be useful when a blockage keeps returning, the cause is unclear or pipe damage is suspected. A camera inspection can help identify issues such as fractures, collapsed sections, tree-root intrusion and severe obstructions so the appropriate cleaning or repair method can be determined.
There is no single cleaning interval that suits every industrial drainage system. The appropriate frequency depends on factors such as how heavily the drains are used, what enters the drainage system, previous blockage history and the condition of the drains, pipes and pits. Sites with recurring issues or a high risk of disruption may benefit from planned preventative maintenance.
In many cases, yes. Water jetting and vacuum systems can be used to clear suitable blockages without excavating the pipe. However, excavation or other repair work may still be required where there is significant structural damage or the blockage cannot be resolved through cleaning alone.
The cost of industrial drain cleaning depends on factors such as the type and severity of the blockage, site and drain access, pipe condition, the cleaning method and equipment required, and whether CCTV inspection or additional work is needed. A site-specific assessment is usually required to determine the appropriate scope and cost.
