Drain Jetting
At Metro Rod, we are experienced in cleaning and removing blockages or debris from sewers and commercial settings. As well as traditional jetting, Metro Rod’s tankers can use high flows at lower pressure, to guarantee a more complete, swift and effective clean. Our goal is to break up any obstructions and push the debris through the system. This leaves the pipe clear, whilst also safeguarding against future blockages.

As well as jetting and waste removal, our tanker services include a wide variety of different maintenance and cleaning options. These vital services can be carried out in an assortment of locations, depending on your need.
We are experts in cleaning pipes and sewers, unblocking and removing any build up from the system. As part of our range of tanker services, we can also clean and maintain lift chambers and bund walls. Along with providing regular maintenance and cleaning options to ensure your systems are always working to the best of their ability.
De-silting
Our tankers allow for us to remove silt from several different places, including confined areas such as sewers and gullies and large areas such as lakes and lagoons.
In a more commercial setting, our tankers can also remove silt and contaminants from surface water interceptors or interceptors installed in industrial environments.
