Benefits Of Hydro Excavation
- Faster and cleaner method of excavation than digging
- Less chance of damaging services (gas and water pipes plus electricity, phone and fibre optic cables)
- Requires less backfilling and is better for the environment
- Less labour intensive and requires less machinery
HYDRO EXCAVATION
Hydro excavation is the efficient way to excavate, and FreeFlow Drains is Auckland’s expert in the process. We have trained, experienced operators plus fully equipped vacuum and water jet trucks to get the job done. Our experience has been gained on both large and small jobs, so we have the ability to complete your job to the highest standard.
We have tailored our hydro excavation service so that it is ideal for a number of specific applications such as excavating roads and footpaths, excavating for the erection or poles, or for potholing work. It is also perfectly suited when the excavation work has to take place in a location where there is restricted access. To find out more about our services, contact us today.
Excavation Efficiency
Hydro excavation is an ideal alternative to manual trench excavation, which usually involves digging. It is quicker with less debris and earth needing removal as the water used in the process is directed exactly where it needs to be. This is very different to the traditional method of digging. It is also more efficient than digging because the earth and debris that is removed in the excavation ends up in the truck instead of being removed manually.
HYDRO BLASTING
Over time drains collect debris, grime and grease. This makes the drain less effective and can lead to obvious problems such as blockage, slow draining drains and bad odors. It can also lead to serious issues, including permanent damage to the drain that can only be rectified by replacement with new pipes. This is why hydro blasting is so important.
Hydro blasting is sometimes referred to as hydro jetting. It is a process that involves specialized equipment that blasts water at high pressure through your drains to remove blockages, silt, grime and grease. At FreeFlow Drains we use the latest equipment which can adjust the pressure of the water flow depending on the job. It is operated by our highly trained and experienced technicians. In other words, we can clean your drains effectively, efficiently, and with minimal fuss.

You can call us to clean your drains simply to ensure they are kept in good condition. Hydro blasting helps to ensure water flows through the drains properly, and it prevents problems arising in future. You can also call us if you are already experiencing a problem, such as a blockage, a slow draining sink, or the formation of unusual pools of water.

DRAIN CLEANING
Drains sometimes need cleaning too, so call FreeFlow Drains when yours need attention. Our drain cleaning services are suitable for all sizes of pipes and drains, from the small pipes under the sink in your kitchen or bathroom, to large sewers under the ground that are big enough to walk through. We clean your drains by hydro jetting, a process that involves directing a high pressure jet of water into your drains to clean them out.
The drain cleaning process removes things like debris, silt and foreign objects from the drain or pipe. It also removes the grease that builds up on the walls of many pipes and drains, and it de-scales pipes. In addition it is powerful enough to cut through tree roots if they are damaging drains or causing a blockage.
Fully Equipped
Our technicians will arrive at your location with all the equipment they need to fully clean your drain. This includes hydro jetting equipment that has full pressure adjustment capabilities. Adjusting the pressure like this ensures we clean the drains properly without causing any damage.

Septic Tank Cleaning
It is essential you get the sceptic tank in your home cleaned using a vacuum loading service at least once every three years. This is because over time solids build up in your tank causing a hazard and making it less efficient. We will clean your sceptic tank thoroughly and professionally.
FAULT FINDING
At FreeFlow Drains we can locate drain faults and locations on any type of property in Auckland. The crucial part of the service is that we do it without digging up your drains. This minimises your costs and causes as little disruption as possible.
Our technicians are all equipped with the latest technology that allows them to find issues with drains, and the location of drains, wherever they are. This technology includes high resolution, colour CCTV cameras that operate by multi-function remote control. This means we can inspect your drains with the same clarity and detail as could if the pipe was in our hands. If you need drain fault finding or drain locating services, you should contact us.
How It Works
Most drain fault finding or drain locating is carried out using high-tech CCTV equipment designed specifically for drain inspections. Our trained and experienced technicians will guide the camera into your drain, tilting, panning and zooming as required. The images are sent back to a colour monitor in real time. When an issue is located we note the depth and mark the spot at ground level using removable paint or a peg. Targeted repair work can then be carried out.
WHAT WE CAN FIND
- The location of drain dips and collapsed drains
- Drain start, route end points
- Damaged sections, including tree root damage
- Blockages and obstructions
When CCTV Inspections Are Useful
- To identify problems not visible from ground level
- The extent of drain damage or corrosion
- To identify potential issues to avoid future problems
- Exact positioning before undertaking any earth or building work
CCTV INSPECTIONS
If you have a problem with your drains that are not visible, a CCTV inspection will find the issue. At FreeFlow Drains we have the latest CCTV drain inspection technology that enables us to send high resolution, colour cameras into your drains as far as they need to go. Our trained and experienced technicians have complete control over the cameras so can tilt, pan and zoom as necessary. If there is a problem, or a potential problem, we’ll find it.
A CCTV drain inspection is suitable when you have a damaged drain or a blockage that needs to be identified. This will ensure the correct remedial action is taken, whether that is clearing the blockage, repairing the drain, or replacing the drain.

DRAIN MAINTENANCE
Many major problems with drains start off as small issues with minimal or non-existent symptoms. By the time the issue is discovered by the property owner it has developed into an inconvenient and expensive problem to fix. The way to prevent this is through drain maintenance.
At FreeFlow Drains we will ensure your drains are kept in perfect condition. We will identify problems, and take care of small issues before they become bigger. This includes things like identifying corrosion or dipped pipes. We can also spot and remove the build-up of household fat on your drains which can cause blockages, and we can identify foreign objects, including tree roots, that could be blocking and/or damaging your pipes. A small bit of drain maintenance today will save you significantly in the future.
Highly Trained And Fully Equipped
All our technicians have the latest equipment to inspect and maintain your business or residential drainage system. This includes the latest CCTV cameras and hydro-jetting equipment. We work in a way that causes as little disruption to you as possible. Once finished we give you a complete breakdown of the inspection carried out, work completed, and recommended further action.
ROOT CUTTING
One of the most common causes of drain problems is tree roots. They are strong and persistent, growing into wherever they can find nourishment for the tree. If that means going through a drain, crushing a drain, or bending it, they will. This causes physical damage to drain, plus the tree root itself can get inside the drain causing a blockage. If you are experiencing this problem, FreeFlow Drains has the solution – our root cutting service.
Our team of experienced drain technicians uses a number of techniques to cut away roots that are affecting your drains. This includes using high powered hydro jets that pump water through your drain at a pressure high enough to cut through any type of tree root. We’ll make sure roots are kept away from your drains.

GENERAL INVESTIGATION WORK
Some drain problems are obvious – blockages that prevent the sink from draining, or storm water from draining, or the toilet from flushing. Other problems are trickier to identify. There might be a bad smell coming from the drains in your bathroom, kitchen or laundry. Maybe the water is draining away slower than usual in your shower or sinks. Or you might have pools of water appearing in your garden that shouldn’t be there. These symptoms are usually signs of a problem with drains.
The symptoms rarely point to the exact cause, though. That’s why you need to call Auckland’s drain experts – FreeFlow Drains. Our team of expert technicians has extensive experience of investigating problems with drains. They are equipped with the latest CCTV inspection equipment, plus they use other methods to identify exactly what is going on in the pipes under your feet.
Find Out Exactly What’s Wrong With Our Drain Investigations Service
We can locate problems anywhere in your drainage system, regardless of the depth or distance from a drain opening. Once we find it we will advise you on the most effective way to get it repaired. We can also carry out that repair.
PRE-PURCHASE INSPECTIONS
If you are buying a new property, a pre-purchase drainage inspection will help to protect your investment. The FreeFlow Drains pre-purchase inspection service will highlight any damage to pipes or blockages. You will also learn about issues in the drains that may develop into problems in the future. This information is invaluable to making an informed decision before taking on such a large purchase.
After all, you wouldn’t buy a house or other property with inspecting it in person, and getting a building inspector to check that it is structurally sound. The problem with drains is that they are under ground and therefore out of sight. They need specialists to check them thoroughly and properly. That’s where we come in.
Get The Right Information Before You Buy
Often the seller of the property you are buying doesn’t even know there is a problem with the drains. That doesn’t mean you should pay for a problem that developed long before you owned the property. We will send expert drain inspectors to assess the drains and give you an initial verbal report. We will then follow up with a full written report.
Benefits Of Pre-Purchase Drain Inspections
- Prevent you making a purchase where significant drainage issues exist
- Helps your negotiations with the seller on the purchase price
- Can also back up a request for the seller to carry out repair work before completing the sale
- Gives you peace of mind that there will be no blocked or broken pipes in the weeks or months after you move in
Our customers use our road sweeping services to support tasks such as:
- Road surfacing
- Aviation runway surfacing
- Earthworks and muck-shifting operations
- Public road cleaning from site traffic, fallen leaves and other debris
- Housing development road cleaning
- Project handover operations
