Professional Drain Snake Service
Our drain snake service involves using a flexible, motorised cable – also known as an electric eel – to mechanically cut through and remove blockages. This method is highly effective for stubborn or deep obstructions in sewer and stormwater pipes. We use drain snakes for:
- Cutting through tree roots in pipes
- Clearing grease, fat, and scale build-up
- Breaking down foreign objects lodged in drains
- Accessing blockages in tight or awkward pipe sections
- Preparing pipes for CCTV inspection or relining

Electric Eel Drain Cleaning
For particularly stubborn blockages, our electric eel drain cleaning service provides the mechanical strength needed to restore your pipes. The rotating steel cable and cutting head break apart obstructions that water jetting alone may not remove. This method is especially useful for:
- Heavily root-infested pipes
- Old or misaligned sewer systems
- Drains with compacted debris or scale build-up
- Situations where high-pressure jetting may not be suitable
By combining electric eel cleaning with CCTV inspections, we ensure the blockage is fully cleared and check the pipe’s condition for any underlying issues.
