High Pressure Water Jetting Sydney
When a drain needs more than a snake, our high-pressure water jetter blasts through grease, sludge and roots and scours the pipe wall clean so it flows like new.
Ideal for grease-heavy and recurring blockages.

What is high pressure water jetting?
High-pressure water jetting, sometimes called hydro jetting, uses a specialised nozzle and hose to fire water into the drain at very high pressure. The jet cuts through blockages and scours grease, scale and sludge off the inside of the pipe, then flushes it all away.
Unlike a snake, which punches a hole through the blockage, jetting cleans the full diameter of the pipe. That makes it the go-to for grease-heavy kitchen lines, commercial drains and pipes that keep blocking up.
What jetting is best for
Jetting shines where a snake cannot fully clean the pipe.
Grease and fat build-up
Kitchen and cafe lines coated in hardened fat.
Sludge and scale
Sediment and scale narrowing the pipe over time.
Root matter
Cutting and flushing fine root intrusion.
Commercial drains
High-use drains in food and hospitality venues.
Recurring blockages
Pipes that block again soon after snaking.
Pre-reline cleaning
Prepping a pipe before it is relined.

In sound pipes, yes. We set the pressure and nozzle to suit the pipe. If a camera shows the pipe is already cracked or fragile, we will recommend relining or repair instead of repeated jetting.
Choose jetting for grease, sludge and scale, or when a drain keeps blocking after snaking. An eel is often quicker for a simple root or solid blockage. We will advise on the day.
It can cut and flush fine roots and clean the pipe, but if roots keep returning the pipe usually has a crack or open joint. A camera inspection and relining is the lasting fix.
