What's blocking your drains?
As scary as these pictures look, they’re real footage of CCTV inspections in our area. The worst part is, you often don't know your drains are blocked until you're faced with drains overflowing or a blocked toilet.
Ever forgotten a spanner or two on the floor after doing DIY? No biggie, right? Trouble is, rain will wash everything in its path down your stormwater drain. A Hydro Jett is an affordable way to maintain your drains and can save you money in the long term.
Call the locals working for locals, email hello@drainranger.co.nz, call 021 709 783 or visit www.drainranger.co.nz and get the ball rolling and your drains flowing.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
