Clearing

High-Pressure Water Jetting

The most effective way to clean a drain — without breaking ground.

High-pressure water jetting is the gold standard for clearing and cleaning drains. Our vehicle-mounted jetters push clean water through the pipe at 4,000 PSI, stripping away years of grease, scale and root ingress and leaving the pipe genuinely clean — not just partially cleared. Unlike caustic chemicals, jetting is safe for every kind of pipework from Victorian clay to modern PVC.

Warning signs

  • Recurring blockages every few months
  • Slow flow across multiple fixtures at once
  • Bad smells from downstream drains
  • Visible grease residue in inspection chambers

Common causes

  • Fat, oil and grease build-up in kitchen waste runs
  • Root ingress at pipe joints
  • Scale and mineral deposits in old cast iron
  • Silt and debris accumulating in flat runs
Our process

How we handle high-pressure water jetting

01
Access point
We work from the nearest manhole or rodding eye upstream of the blockage.
02
Jet head selection
Root-cutter, flushing head or de-scaler chosen to match the problem.
03
Controlled jetting
Pressure and flow adjusted to protect vulnerable pipework.
04
CCTV verification
Camera confirms the pipe is fully clean and structurally sound.

Kit we bring

  • 4,000 PSI vehicle-mounted jetters (100+ litres per minute)
  • Rotating root-cutter jet heads
  • Chain de-scaling attachments
  • Recycled-water bowsers for large commercial contracts

While you wait — do

  • Move vehicles from the driveway to give access
  • Move garden furniture near external manholes

Please don't

  • Don't try to jet-clean drains with a garden pressure washer — it won't touch a real blockage

Common questions

Is jetting safe for old drainage?
Yes — an experienced operator uses low-pressure heads and manages flow carefully. We survey with CCTV first if we're unsure.
Will jetting damage my flower beds?
No, jetting is a below-ground process and doesn't disturb surface planting.

Blocked drain? Not for long.
