Drainage

Drain Cleaning & Servicing

Prevention costs a fraction of a flood. Planned cleaning for domestic, commercial and industrial drainage, with no limit on depth, size, location or length.

Drain Cleaning & Servicing

AST Transport provides a comprehensive drain cleaning service for homeowners, businesses and industrial sites, from a single annual jet-through to scheduled maintenance programmes for estates and networks.

We match the kit to the job: small jetting units for domestic runs, jet/vac combination units for sewers, culverts and interceptors, and water-recycling units for large projects where water use and access matter.

What is included

  • Scheduled maintenance programmes for estates, sites and networks
  • Sewer, culvert and interceptor cleaning
  • Pump station and wet well cleaning
  • Gully and road drainage cleaning
  • Grease, silt and scale removal
  • Jet/vac combination units with water recycling
  • Pre-survey cleaning ahead of CCTV inspection

Why service drains before they fail

Grease, silt, scale and roots build up gradually. Left alone they cut capacity, cause smells and eventually block or overload the system at the worst possible moment. A planned clean at sensible intervals is far cheaper than an emergency call-out and the damage that follows a backup.

Water recycling

Our recyclers draw water from the sewer being cleaned, filter it and re-use it for jetting instead of refilling from a hydrant. On large projects that means less water, fewer interruptions and faster progress.

Any depth, any size

From a 100mm household run to a large-bore trunk sewer or culvert, the range of the fleet means there is no limit to what we can clean, survey and repair.

Questions we get asked

How often should commercial drains be cleaned?

It depends on what goes down them. Food businesses often need quarterly or six-monthly cleaning; offices and residential blocks less often. We can inspect and recommend an interval.

Can you work outside normal hours?

Yes. Planned cleaning is regularly done overnight or at weekends to avoid disrupting trading.

Do you provide a report after cleaning?

On request we combine cleaning with a CCTV survey and provide a condition report for your records.
