Power and Precision: The Modern Van Pack in Action

At DALROD, we know that keeping drains clear and free flowing is essential. Across the country, our local drainage teams rely on the van pack unit. It’s a compact but powerful machine that has become the backbone of day-to-day drainage work.

These units are not just about unblocking drains. They’re about maintaining flow, preventing costly downtime, and delivering a professional standard of clean that rods and DIY methods simply can’t achieve.

The Modern Alternative to Old-Fashioned Methods

Years ago, most blockages were tackled with drainage rods. While they did the job in part, they were often limited. Rods push through blockages rather than cleaning them properly and leave behind residue that can quickly build up again.

Today, DALROD’s van packs use high pressure water jetting (HPWJ) to thoroughly clean the inside of pipes. This isn’t just a quick fix; it’s a long-term solution. By flushing away fats, oils, grease, silt, scale and other debris, we leave pipes clan and free from obstruction, helping prevent repeat issues.

What Van Packs Are Built For

Our van pack units are ideal for small to medium diameter pipework, most commonly found in:

  • Restaurants, cafés and takeaways: Keeping kitchen drainage free from fats, oils and grease build-up.
  • Schools, offices and retail spaces: Ensuring toilets, sinks and staff facilities run smoothly.
  • Car parks and playgrounds: Clearing gullies and surface water drains to prevent flooding.
  • Residential Blocks: Providing a reliable, efficient solution for shared drainage networks.

 

With their compact size, van packs can access where larger tanker units can’t. This makes them versatile enough for a wide range of environments.

More Then Unblocking: Preventative Maintenance:

One of the biggest benefits of HPWJ is its role in preventative maintenance. Instead of waiting for a blockage to cause disruption, businesses can schedule routine cleans to keep their drainage systems operating at peak performance. This proactive approach:

  • Reduces the risk of emergency callouts
  • Extends the life of the drainage system
  • Saves money on costly repairs and downtime
