Large Diameter Drain Cleaning questions

Large Diameter Drain Cleaning for Adelaide businesses: what you need to know

These are the questions Adelaide business owners ask us most about large diameter drain cleaning, answered by plumbers with 70+ years of local experience.

What counts as a large diameter drain?

Usually 150 mm and above: the main sewers, stormwater trunks and industrial lines that run under Adelaide factories, shopping centres and car parks.

Why do large commercial drains block?

Silt, fats, trade waste and roots build up over years, and Adelaide's reactive clay can shift older concrete pipe joints out of line.

How are large diameter drains cleaned?

With high-pressure jetting and vacuum recovery units that clear heavy build-up without digging, then CCTV to confirm the line is clear.

How often should commercial drains be cleaned?

High-use sites often need a 6 or 12 month maintenance program, which costs far less than an emergency blockage shutdown.
