Sewer jetting Melbourne: how our hydro jetting service clears tough blockages

Blocked drains that resist basic tools need specialist cleaning to restore reliable flow. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water, specialised nozzles and a controlled flow to cut roots and scrub away grease and compacted debris.

What is hydro jetting and when do you need it?

Hydro jetting is a mechanical cleaning method that removes scale, tree intrusion and stubborn build-ups in a pipe without harsh chemicals. You’ll need this when plungers or snakes can’t shift the blockage or when the problem keeps returning.

Our process: assessing drains, jetting pipes, and restoring flow today

We start by inspecting entry points and mapping the line so we pick the right nozzle and pressure for your system. We modulate pressure for PVC, earthenware or metal to protect the infrastructure while clearing the obstruction.

  • Directional and rotating jets break roots, emulsify grease and flush debris downstream.
  • We verify success by running fixtures and watching water evacuate the drains under normal load.
  • For recurring issues, we recommend maintenance plans or targeted repair to protect your drainage long term.

FAQ

What is hydro jetting and when should we call for it?

Hydro jetting is a high-pressure water cleaning method that blasts away grease, roots and debris from pipes. We recommend it when routine snaking fails, when smells persist, or when drains back up repeatedly. It’s ideal for stubborn blockages and preventative maintenance in both homes and businesses.

How quickly can we get an emergency response for a blocked drain or burst pipe?

We provide 24/7 emergency response and aim to reach most suburban jobs promptly. Our team assesses the issue on arrival, isolates the problem, and uses high-pressure systems and CCTV inspection to restore flow fast and minimise water damage.

Will the high-pressure system damage old or fragile pipes?

We use adjustable hydro equipment and inspect pipes with CCTV before choosing pressure settings. For older or fragile lines we select gentler options or alternative repair methods to protect your plumbing while still clearing blockages effectively.

What types of blockages can your team clear?

We clear grease, tree root intrusions, accumulated sediment, sanitary wipes, and other build-ups that restrict flow. Our service covers household drains, commercial systems and external stormwater lines across Melbourne suburbs.

Do you provide regular maintenance plans to prevent recurring problems?

Yes. We offer scheduled maintenance visits, including hydro cleaning and CCTV checks, to prevent future blockages and prolong pipe life. Regular service reduces emergency call-outs and keeps water flowing smoothly.

Which brands and materials do you use for repairs and replacements?

We partner with recognised Australian plumbing brands and use quality materials that meet industry standards. This ensures durable repairs at competitive rates while complying with local regulations and warranty requirements.

How do we know if a blockage is caused by tree roots?

Signs include slow drains, gurgling, and sudden reoccurring blockages. We confirm root intrusion with CCTV inspection and can remove roots using specialised cutting nozzles before flushing the line clean.

Is hydro cleaning environmentally safe?

Yes. The method uses water only, avoiding harmful chemicals. It effectively removes contaminants without adding pollutants to the environment when we properly contain and dispose of waste water following local guidelines.

What does the inspection and repair process look like?

We inspect pipes with CCTV, diagnose the issue, discuss options and proceed with hydro cleaning or repairs on approval. If parts need replacement, we supply quality components and complete the work efficiently to restore full functionality.

How much does an emergency clean or repair typically cost?

Costs vary depending on the severity and location of the blockage, access and any replacement parts. We provide transparent, itemised quotes before work begins and offer affordable rates and payment options for urgent jobs.
