    Advanced Drain Cleaning Equipment

    We don’t just poke around with a plunger and hope for the best. Absolute Plumbing Cape Town uses powerful, professional-grade equipment designed to clear even the toughest blockages and clogs.

    High-Pressure Hydro Jetting

    This method uses highly pressurised water to blast away grease, sludge, roots, and other stubborn debris inside your pipes. It’s highly effective and safe for most plumbing systems, making it one of the most effective clogged drain solutions available.

    Rotary Machine Cleaning

    Perfect for cutting through thicker or more solid blockages, rotary drain machines use a spinning cable fitted with cutting heads to mechanically break down the obstruction. This is ideal for older pipes or deeper clogs that water jetting can’t reach on its own.

    By combining both methods when necessary, we deliver long-lasting results that keep your drains flowing smoothly.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I know if my drain is blocked or clogged?

    Slow drainage, bad smells, gurgling noises, and water backups are all signs of a blocked or clogged drain.

    Can I unblock the drain myself?

    Store-bought chemicals can sometimes provide a temporary fix, but they often damage pipes and don’t fully remove the blockage—especially for clogged drains deep in pipes. For a long-term solution, it’s best to call a professional.

    Additional Tips

    What is the cost of drain cleaning in Cape Town?

    Costs depend on the severity and location of the blockage. Contact us for accurate, obligation-free pricing.
