Drain Cleaning and Jet Rodding for Stormwater Sites
Blocked drainage slows the whole site
Blocked stormwater drains, pits and site drainage assets can stop work, create water problems and leave crews dealing with wet material that needs to be removed. Jet rodding and vacuum support are often used together because clearing the line is only part of the job.
VACIT provides drain cleaning and jet rodding across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and South East Queensland for suitable civil, commercial and industrial drainage work.
Why combine jetting and vacuum support?
- Jetting breaks up sediment, debris and build-up.
- Vacuum recovery helps remove loosened material from pits and work areas.
- Crews can reduce manual clean-up and keep drainage work contained.
- The same truck capability can support related liquid waste or vacuum loading needs.
Frequently asked questions
What does jet rodding do?
Jet rodding uses high-pressure water to break up debris, sediment and build-up inside suitable drainage assets.
Can vacuum recovery be used with drain cleaning?
Yes. Vacuum recovery can collect loosened debris, sediment and wet material after jetting so the work area is cleaner.
