When does a blocked line need the jetter?

A plunger or a quick hand clear sorts one slow fixture. These signs point at the main run, where pressure water does the better job:

  • Several fixtures slow down or back up at the same time, which points to a shared line rather than one trap.
  • A choke clears and then returns at the same spot, which means material is still layered on the wall.
  • A gully or grated pit spills in heavy rain on the downhill blocks, which the stormwater drains page covers in detail.
  • A kitchen line running slow for weeks, which points at grease and soap built up along the run.

For the one-off faults, the blocked drains hub sets out the simpler clears and how each one runs.

How the jetter clears your line

  1. 01

    Ring or send the form

    Call (02) 4915 2998 or use the form to explain the fault. We ask enough to bring the right equipment the first time.

  2. 02

    A fixed price first

    A plumber inspects the job and names a fixed figure up front. Nothing gets started until you give the go-ahead.

  3. 03

    Water does the scouring

    The jetter hoses the run clean at pressure, with the line filmed on screen before the hose starts and again once it finishes, so you see the result for yourself.

  4. 04

    Covered for a year

    Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work. If something we did isn't right, ring the same number.

That double filming is what separates a proper jetting job from a garden-hose guess. The CCTV drain inspection page sets out what the camera reads off the wall and the report it produces.

Why does water beat an electric eel?

An eel bores a path through the blockage and leaves most of the material stuck to the pipe wall, so the line narrows again before long. The jetter scours the full circumference and washes the debris out of the system entirely.

Chemical cleaners sit out of it as well. Water pressure does the work, the flush carries the residue away, and nothing corrosive ends up in the soil around the line.

How is a jetting clear priced?

What sits behind the figure:

  • How many access points the hose needs and how far into the line it travels.
  • The diameter and length of the run, since longer lines take more hose and more water.
  • What the second camera pass reveals, because a clean wall ends the job while a cracked joint points to further work.
  • Whether the jetter is running on a weekday or after dark, since night work is charged at a higher rate.

Where the Slope Loads the Line

The ridge sets the pattern

Homes here sit up on the slope, so sewer runs heading downhill gather speed and strand solids wherever the grade eases. Grease and paper layer up at those same spots, and pressure water strips them back to bare pipe.

Storms add the grit

When a summer storm cell sits over the valley, grates on the downhill blocks catch silt and leaf litter washed off the newer releases above. That stormwater overload packs charged lines with grit a cable cannot pull out.

Old clay needs a lighter touch

The oldest estate drains are earthenware laid in the 1980s, so the camera goes first and the jet pressure is set to what the joints can take.

What Customers Say

We talked through the options of our blocked kitchen sink drain (not just an s bend problem) and came to the perfect long term solution at a reasonable price.

When We're Not the Right Call

A fully collapsed section does not want pressure, it wants a structural repair, and pipe relining sets out the no-dig version of that fix. Where roots are the ongoing cause, tree root removal covers that side of it. And where the trouble sits past your boundary on the authority's main, their crews own that stretch and we point you to the right contact.

Questions Before a Jetting Clear

Is high-pressure jetting safe for old earthenware pipes?

Yes, once the camera has been down first. Earthenware was still going into the ground when this suburb's first streets were laid, so those lines get a pressure setting matched to the footage, and the jetter runs gently on any stretch that looks fragile.

One fixture is slow but the rest of the house flows. Do I need jetting?

No. One slow basin points to a trap or a short fixture waste, and a plunger sorts it. Jetting earns its keep when several drains back up at once, or a choke keeps landing at the same spot along the run.

Does jetting remove tree roots permanently?

The water cuts roots sitting inside the pipe and cleans the wall, but a root grown through a cracked joint regrows until that joint is repaired. A second film pass after the clear tells you whether the fix is structural or only another clear down the track.

Does the jetter work on stormwater lines as well as sewers?

Both. Sewer lines collect grease and solids, while the stormwater runs on the downhill blocks fill with silt and leaf litter whenever a big storm settles over the flats. Pressure water shifts that grit, where a mechanical cable would only push it further along.
