Why CCTV Drain Inspections Matter in Alexandra Hills
On Alexandra Hills's tree-lined streets, roots from Melaleuca and Fig invade joints — CCTV pinpoints the exact intrusion point. A CCTV survey is the fastest way to diagnose a drain in Alexandra Hills. We record the footage, locate the fault to the metre, and show you the pipe's condition.
How High-Pressure Water Jetting Works
Water jetting uses a high-pressure stream to slice through tree roots in older clay sewers. Unlike rodding, it cleans the whole pipe wall, so blockages return more slowly in Alexandra Hills.
