Jet Blasting
Sydney: High-Pressure
Drain Cleaning

It depends on how far down the line the blockage is, what is causing it, and how easy it is to reach through an inspection opening or gully. Roots in a long sewer line take more work than silt in a short stormwater pipe. You get one fixed price before we start, and there is nothing to pay just for us to come and look during business hours.

A pressure washer drain attachment can shift a soft blockage near the opening, like soap, hair or a little silt. It will not clear roots, set grease or a blockage metres down the line, and too much pressure in an old clay pipe can make a crack worse. If one careful try has not cleared it, book a plumber before the yard floods or the pipe gets damaged.

Yes. Hydro jetting, water jetting, high pressure drain cleaning and jet blasting all mean clearing a drain with a high pressure water jet. The jet blaster is the machine, and its hose and nozzle go down the drain through an inspection opening or gully. We do hydro jet drain cleaning Sydney wide.

For most blocked drains, yes. An electric eel spins a cutter through the blockage and can leave roots, grease and silt stuck to the pipe wall, which is why a drain often blocks again. A jet blaster scours the full width of the pipe and flushes the debris away down the line. An eel still suits some jobs, and the plumber will tell you which one your drain needs.

Not pipes in sound condition. The plumber picks the nozzle to suit the pipe and the blockage, so sound clay and PVC lines are cleared safely. A pipe that is already badly cracked or collapsed can get worse, and the camera after the clear shows its condition so you can decide what to do next.

Yes. A camera cannot see through a live blockage, so we jet blast the drain clear first, then run a drain camera down the clean pipe and show you the footage. The camera inspection is free with any booked drain service, and it shows whether roots, a crack or a dip in the pipe will cause trouble again.

A clear of grease, wipes or silt lasts as long as those stay out of the drain. Tree roots usually grow back, because the cracked or loose joints they got in through are still there. The camera shows where they are getting in, so you can choose regular jet blasting or a permanent fix such as relining that section.

Yes for your own main sewer line, all the way to where it connects to Sydney Water's network, which is the part the property owner is responsible for. If the camera shows the blockage is in Sydney Water's pipes, they clear it, and we show you what the camera found. If sewage is overflowing from a maintenance hole in the street, call the Sydney Water faults line on 13 20 90.
