Help for the lines your farm depends on
A blocked effluent line, slow yard drain or restricted culvert can interrupt a busy day. Drain Kings clears dairy effluent pipes, Novaflow and field drains, culverts and stormwater, stock water lines, rural pipework, and yard and washdown drains.
Each system has a different purpose. Tell us which line is affected, what is coming through it and how the problem is showing up. The team can then discuss whether the work suits its capabilities and what access will be needed.
Blocked before milking? Call with the details.
When the shed or yard cannot drain properly, timing matters. Explain the practical impact when you call, including any overflow and the parts of the property affected. Drain Kings is available to contact around the clock; discuss attendance and timing with the team for your job.
Keep stock and people away from affected discharge areas. Do not enter pits or chambers, or attempt to open pressurised lines. If the issue involves a stock-water supply, explain how the system is being used so any proposed work can be considered appropriately.
Jetting, root removal and CCTV investigation
Drain Kings’ capabilities include water jetting, root locating and cutting, and CCTV inspection. Depending on the line and access, those methods can help clear suitable restrictions or investigate why flow has changed.
Roots, silt and accumulated material may be involved, but a slow line is not enough to establish the cause. Where pipe damage or another problem is suspected, inspection can help guide further assessment. Clearing an obstruction does not repair the pipe itself.
Make the site information work for you
Farm drainage routes are not always obvious. Existing plans, the location of known inlets and outlets, and a history of earlier blockages can all help. Let the team know about vehicle access, gates, stock movements and the best person to meet on site.
If you are unsure which service to ask for, start with the symptoms. Describe where water is collecting, what has changed and whether other lines are affected. Drain Kings can discuss the next step without you having to diagnose the system first.
