Commercial and Industrial Drain Cleaning
We offer fully bespoke commercial and industrial cleaning services nationally. Including hydro demolition services using heavy-duty water jetting equipment to break through concrete, asphalt, and grout.
Hydro Demolition
Hydro demolition is a method that utilises high-pressure water jetting to cut through and break down concrete and other materials. It's a precise and efficient tool that allows for the quick, safe, and clean removal of target materials, such as concrete, asphalt, and grout, while protecting other essential parts of the structure. This technique is also referred to as hydro blasting, water blasting, and water jetting. One of the benefits of hydro demolition is that it is gentle on the environment, as it produces no vibrations or dust pollution.
While hydrodemolition is typically associated with concrete removal, it can also be used to clean:
- Industrial or municipal sewer lines
- Drain and sewer systems that are blocked by debris
- Post-construction pipe cleaning
- Culvert maintenance

Scope out and plan
We prioritise safety and efficiency in our demolition services, which involve comprehensive scoping and planning.
Concrete removal and demolition
To remove and break down concrete, grout, or asphalt, we utilise robotically controlled, ultra-high-pressure water jetting equipment. This equipment operates at a pressure of 30,000 psi and uses between 22 and 30 litres of water per minute.
Environmentally friendly
Ensure that any water used during the demolition process is contained, removed, and processed in an environmentally friendly manner to prevent potential site contamination.
What are the benefits of hydro demolition?
Also known as hydro blasting, hydro demolition has been in use since the 1980s as an alternative method of precision demolition, used for cutting through and removing concrete, grout and asphalt in situations where the targeted area needs to be clearly defined.
Here are just a few of the benefits of hydro demolition:
Risk Free Concrete Removal
Concrete can be effectively removed without any risk of damage to the steel substructures within or around the concrete.
Vibration Free
The method is vibration-free, meaning there is no risk of cracks or microfracture damage to surrounding structures, and it also makes the process safer for workers.
No Toxic Chemicals
Our hydro demolition process is chemical free, eliminating any risk of damage
Pollution Free
No dust or noise pollution is generated during the process
Environmentally Friendly
The water used during the process is collected and purified after use, further ensuring the environmental friendliness of the process
Cost Effective and Hassle Free
The process is quicker and more cost-effective than other demolition methods, as well as requiring less disruption
