Complete Pipe-Wall Cleaning
Hydro jetting scours the entire interior pipe wall – not just the blockage. Grease, scale, and biofilm are blasted away completely, restoring full bore and preventing rapid re-blockage.
Professional sewer line cleaning, drain unblocking, and hydro jetting services across Nairobi. We clear blockages fast, flush pipes clean, and guarantee lasting results – for homes, restaurants, apartments, and industrial facilities.
Professional sewer and drain cleaning goes far beyond a plunger or store-bought chemical. Using industrial equipment – hydro jetting up to 4,000 PSI, mechanical rooters, and CCTV diagnostics – we completely restore pipe flow, remove grease and root intrusion, and eliminate odours at the source. The result is a system that works like new, not just temporarily cleared.
Hydro jetting scours the entire interior pipe wall – not just the blockage. Grease, scale, and biofilm are blasted away completely, restoring full bore and preventing rapid re-blockage.
Tree roots are the leading cause of sewer blockages in Nairobi. Our root-cutting nozzles and high-pressure jetting clear root masses and flush debris – no excavation needed.
Our equipment accesses pipes through existing cleanouts and inspection chambers. No trenching, no broken tiles, no garden damage – and nothing to restore afterwards.
Restaurants and commercial kitchens accumulate fats, oils, and grease (FOG) that solidify inside sewer lines. We professionally clean grease traps and grease-laden drain systems to prevent compliance failures.
Foul sewer odours are caused by bacteria in accumulated organic matter. A thorough hydro-jet clean removes the organic build-up at source – not just masking smells with chemicals.
Commercial properties, schools, and hospitality businesses in Nairobi increasingly require documented drain maintenance records. Every service includes a written completion report for your files.

We use the right tool for each situation – from powerful hydro jetting for hardened grease and roots, to precision mechanical tools for delicate older pipes. No guesswork, no one-size-fits-all.
Our primary method for heavy blockages, grease build-up, and root intrusion. Pressurised water blasts the entire pipe wall clean – not just poking through a hole. Results last significantly longer than mechanical clearing alone.
A motorised flexible rod with cutting heads breaks through solid blockages and cuts root masses. Ideal for smaller residential pipes and situations where full-pressure jetting is not suitable, such as fragile older pipework.
Before cleaning complex or recurring blockages, we deploy a HD waterproof camera to identify the exact type and location of the fault. This ensures the right cleaning method is selected and confirms full clearance after service.
For grease traps and slow-draining systems, we apply professional-grade enzymatic bio-treatments that break down organic matter at a microbial level. Complements jetting for long-term grease management in commercial kitchens.
For large-diameter sewer mains, trunk lines, and septic systems, our vacuum tanker combines simultaneous high-pressure jetting and spoil extraction. The pipe is cleaned and all debris removed in a single pass.
Specialised spinning root-cutting nozzles attach to our hydro-jet hose and mechanically shred tree roots while simultaneously flushing the debris. Used in combination with standard jetting for complete root removal without excavation.
Both methods clear drains – but they are not equal. Here is an honest comparison to help you understand why we recommend hydro jetting for most blockages.
| Factor | Hydro Jetting | Mechanical Snaking | DIY Chemicals |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clears pipe walls completely | ✓ Full wall scour | ✗ Pokes a hole only | ✗ Partial at best |
| Removes root intrusion | ✓ With root-cutting nozzle | ✓ Basic cutting only | ✗ Cannot remove roots |
| Eliminates grease build-up | ✓ Complete removal | ✗ Spreads grease | Partial – temporary |
| Safe for pipes | ✓ Pressure adjusted per pipe | ✓ Yes | ✗ Can corrode pipes |
| Duration of results | ✓ 12-24 months typically | 3-6 months typically | ✗ Weeks only |
| Removes odour-causing bacteria | ✓ Yes – flushes organic matter | ✗ No | Partially |
| Cost | From KES 18,500 | From KES 8,500 | Low – but repeated |
Most drainage problems worsen over time. If you recognise any of the following warning signs, do not wait – a professional clean now prevents a sewage emergency later.
When more than one fixture drains slowly simultaneously, the restriction is in the shared main sewer line – not in individual traps – and requires sewer line cleaning.
Waste or water coming back up through toilets, floor drains, or showers is a main line blockage. This is a health hazard requiring immediate professional intervention.
Air trapped behind a partial blockage is forced back through the water seal creating a gurgling noise from toilets or basin traps. This is an early-warning sign of a growing main line restriction.
Sulphur or sewage smells from drains indicate accumulated organic matter or a cracked pipe leaking into the soil. Chemical pour-ins only mask this temporarily.
If your drain is repeatedly unblocked but the problem returns within weeks, a deeper structural issue – root intrusion, grease accumulation, or a pipe defect – is the root cause.
Unusually lush or permanently wet ground in dry weather can indicate a cracked or leaking underground sewer pipe. A CCTV inspection combined with sewer cleaning will confirm and resolve it.
Grease, scale, and fine debris accumulate gradually even without visible blockage. Properties with no drain maintenance in over two years benefit significantly from a proactive hydro-jet clean.

“Our restaurant’s kitchen drain was completely blocked at 9 PM on a Friday. Unclog Rooter arrived in under 25 minutes, hydro-jetted the grease out of 35 metres of pipe, and we were operational again by 10:30. Outstanding.”
“We had sewage backing up into ground-floor bathrooms in our apartment block. The team isolated the main line blockage in minutes with CCTV, jetted it clear, and verified the fix before leaving. Professional from start to finish.”
“Our Karen home had root intrusion in the main sewer. Three previous plumbers had ‘cleared’ it but it kept coming back within weeks. Unclog Rooter used the root-cutting nozzle and hydro-jetter together. No recurrence in six months.”

Honest answers to the questions Nairobi homeowners and property managers ask us most.
Our drain cleaning starts from KES 8,500 for a residential single-drain basic service using mechanical tools. Full residential hydro jetting (up to 50 m) starts from KES 18,500. Commercial sewer line cleaning and grease trap services start from KES 35,000. All pricing is flat-rate – agreed upfront with no hidden charges or call-out fees. Evening and public holiday services carry a slightly higher rate.
Hydro jetting uses water pressurised up to 4,000 PSI to blast through and flush out blockages – grease, scale, roots, and debris – while simultaneously scouring the entire pipe wall clean. A mechanical snake only breaks a hole through a blockage and leaves build-up on the pipe walls, which means the drain blocks up again faster. Hydro jetting delivers a thorough, long-lasting clean that typically holds 12 to 24 months compared to a few weeks for snaking alone.
The clearest signs of a main sewer line blockage are: multiple fixtures draining slowly at the same time (kitchen and bathrooms all slow), gurgling sounds from toilets or floor drains, sewage or waste backing up into the lowest fixtures in the building (like ground-floor toilets or shower trays), and persistent foul odours from drains. If only one fixture is slow, the blockage is likely local to that drain. If several are slow simultaneously, the main sewer line is affected.
Yes, when done correctly. Our technicians assess pipe material and condition before selecting the cleaning method. We adjust hydro jetting pressure appropriately for PVC, clay, cast iron, and concrete pipes. For older or fragile pipes, we use lower pressure settings or a mechanical rooter instead. We may use a CCTV camera to check pipe integrity first on systems that have shown signs of structural damage. Store-bought chemical cleaners, by contrast, can corrode pipes – professional cleaning avoids this risk.
Most residential drain cleaning jobs – including a single blocked drain or a basic sewer clean – are completed within 30 to 90 minutes. Full residential system hydro jetting typically takes 1 to 2 hours. Commercial grease trap and main sewer line services take 2 to 4 hours depending on system size. You can use the property normally while we work, and we clean up fully before leaving.

For residential properties without recurring issues, a professional hydro-jet clean every 2 to 3 years is recommended as preventative maintenance. Properties with large trees nearby (root risk) or older pipework benefit from annual inspections. Commercial kitchens and restaurants should have grease traps professionally cleaned every 1 to 3 months, and main kitchen drain lines jetted every 6 to 12 months. We offer discounted maintenance contracts for commercial clients.
We accept cash, M-Pesa mobile money transfers, and bank wire transfers. Corporate and commercial clients can request invoice payment terms with prior approval. All completed services are documented with tax-compliant receipts and written service reports. We never request payment before work is completed and you are satisfied.
