How High Pressure Jetting Clears Drains
Jetting uses controlled water pressure to clear sludge, grease, roots and heavy build-up from inside drainage pipes.
What the symptom usually means
Jetting uses controlled water pressure to clear sludge, grease, roots and heavy build-up from inside drainage pipes.
A single blocked fixture may be local to that fixture, but multiple slow drains, gurgling, sewer smell, water backing up outside or a blockage that keeps returning often points to a deeper drainage issue.
What to check before sending an enquiry
Note when the problem started, which fixtures are affected, whether rain makes it worse, whether sewage or stormwater is overflowing, and whether anyone has cleared the drain recently.
When inspection helps
If the same drain keeps blocking, CCTV inspection can show roots, cracks, displaced joints, sagging pipework, heavy build-up or collapsed sections that simple clearing may not fix long term.

Common questions
How much does drain clearing cost?
Cost depends on access, drain type, blockage severity, equipment required and whether CCTV inspection or high pressure jetting is needed.
When is a CCTV drain inspection useful?
Camera inspection is useful when a drain blocks repeatedly, when tree roots are suspected, or when pipe damage needs to be checked before repair advice.
What details should I include in the enquiry?
Include the suburb, what is blocked, when it started, whether anything is overflowing, and whether the drain has blocked before.
