Drain Cleaning & Maintenance

Drain Cleaning & Maintenance

High-pressure jetting and vacuum recovery that keeps stormwater and sewer networks flowing.

Overview

About the service

Regular drain cleaning is what stops small blockages becoming flooding events. Our teams remove sediment, debris and root mass from pits and pipes across drainage, sewer and infrastructure networks, keeping systems performing at design capacity.

Whether it's a clogged connection deep inside a main or aggressive root ingress in an aging line, our crews arrive with the equipment and the experience to clear it properly the first time.

Why SSA

What sets our drain cleaning & maintenance apart

Drain cleaning does more than restore flow — it protects downstream assets, extends service life and safeguards the environment. SSA provides the specialist expertise and the equipment to do it at scale.

Our combination jet/vac trucks are among the most powerful in Australia, purpose-built to dislodge and recover large volumes of debris, including stubborn root systems that traditional cutting methods struggle with.

We eliminate the need for confined-space entry: high-pressure water breaks material down, and the vacuum system captures it directly. That's safer for operators, better for the environment and faster on site.
