Combined with the latest technology, operator experience and safety equipment, Total Drain Cleaning can tackle any job.

Drain and pipe cleaning

The company’s services include a 2,200 psi high velocity water-jetting combination, with a water volume of 310 litres per minute, able to vacuum debris at an air flow rate of 4,200 cubic feet per minute with a maximum vacuum lift of 24 kilograms.

The unit is able to vacuum any debris generated via a 4, 6 or 8 inch vacuum tube through a 360 degree rotating boom and insert all the debris into a holding tank. The hydraulic boom is able to lift heavy manhole lids of up to 455 kilograms.

Total Drain Cleaning’s American built Jet-Vac unit is also fitted with a unique wastewater filtration system. This enables the filtration of wastewater to be reused for further jetting. The Jet-Vac is also fitted with a debris and water interconnection and if requested, can jet for extended periods of time without the need to refill the water tanks.

The Jet-Vac unit can pump off liquid at the same time as jetting and vacuuming sewer and stormwater lines. This is ideal for small sewer diversions. The unit is able to pump off liquid at a rate of 1,000 litres per minute, and also has the option to divert the liquid back into the water tank for further jetting use. Vacuum loading

The company can vacuum drill through mud; stormwater debris; sewers; slurries; wood chips; sand; filtration media; and dirt, which is ideal for all types of gross pollutant traps. Total Drain Cleaning also cleans stormwater and sewer pits; pumping stations; filtration systems; bins; pits; pipes; culverts; tanks; vessels; and can also respond to environmental road spills.

CCTV

Total Drain Cleaning’s unit is also equipped with an onboard CCTV and locator, using the VCAM sewer pipeline camera inspection system. The company has the ability to view lines from 100 mm to 350 mm. The VCAM camera combined with the Easyloc locator enables the company to locate and diagnose problems, and a narrated video can be provided if necessary.

Non-destructive digging

Non-destructive digging uses pressurised water and a vacuum source to remove the material and expose underground assets. This process allows for quick, clean and precise evacuations which require less backfill, less labour force, less restoration, and less environmental impact than conventional digging methods. A controlled water stream flow allows for greater accuracy, removing only material necessary for repair or inspection.
