seek professional assistance if you’re unsure about removing concrete from your drains, as improper methods can cause further damage. Ensure the provider you choose has the necessary equipment and expertise for the job removing concrete and reinforced concrete in drains without this expertise can result in a small job can become a large task really quickly.
There are a number of recognised methods to remove concrete from drains, including:
• Mechanical milling bit or auger - Often used to break up smaller deposits of hardened concrete in the drain, but less effective for large deposits.
• Remote drain cutters - Capable of cutting through concrete drain blockage entering the manhole & travelling down the drain to the obstruction
• Hydro cutting - This process uses a hydro cutting tool breaking down and remove concrete in drains with low risk of damage to the pipe itself.
• High pressure water jetting - This method works well if the concrete is not yet fully set in the drain, but, is less effective if the concrete has already gone off.
