(02) 9139 8945 — available 24/7What Jet Blasting Clears
A jet blaster sends water at high pressure through a hose with a nozzle that fires jets backwards and forwards. The rear jets drive the hose along the pipe; the forward jets break up what is in the way.
Tree roots
Roots that have grown in through clay pipe joints and cracks, the most common cause of a blocked sewer in older Sydney suburbs.
Grease and fat
The build-up that coats kitchen lines and commercial kitchen drains and narrows them until they stop.
Silt, sand and leaves
The debris that settles in stormwater lines and pits and backs up in heavy rain.
Scale and general build-up
Material that has hardened on the pipe wall over years, which a drain machine tends to punch through rather than remove.
Camera, Jet, Camera: How CCTV and Jetting Work Together
Jetting is only half the job. We pair it with a drain camera so you know what was blocking the pipe and what state it is in now.
Camera first
A CCTV camera goes down the line to find what is blocking it and where. That decides how the pipe is jetted, and whether jetting is the right tool at all.
Jet to clear
The jet blaster clears the blockage and scours the pipe walls, flushing the debris out through the system.
Camera again
A second look confirms the line is clear and shows the condition of the pipe once it is clean: sound, or cracked, open at the joints or sagging. That is the honest basis for deciding whether it needs anything more.
Jetting, a Drain Machine, or Relining?
A drain machine
A rotating cable is quick for a small, local blockage close to a fixture. It opens a path through the blockage but doesn't clean the pipe walls.
Jet blasting
The better choice for roots, grease and silt in the main line, because it clears the full width of the pipe and leaves it clean rather than just open.
Pipe relining
When the camera shows the pipe itself is damaged, clearing it will only ever be temporary. Relining repairs the pipe from the inside without digging, and the pipe is jetted clean before it is lined.

How It Works
Our Process
Inspect
We use a CCTV camera to assess the blockage type and location before jetting.
Jet
High-pressure water is propelled through the pipe, scouring walls and blasting through blockages.
Flush
Dislodged material is flushed through and out of the drain system.
Re-inspect
We camera the pipe again to confirm it's fully clear and flowing.

Common Questions
FAQs
Is Jet Blasting different from drain snaking?
Yes — a drain snake punctures a blockage, while Jet Blasting clears the entire pipe diameter and cleans the walls. It's more thorough and longer-lasting.
Can Jet Blasting damage my pipes?
Our operators adjust pressure for your pipe type. Modern Jet Blasting is safe for most pipes when performed correctly.
How often should I have my drains jet blasted?
For residential properties, every 2–3 years is a good preventative measure. Commercial kitchens may need it more frequently.
Does it remove tree roots?
Jet Blasting can cut through fine root intrusions. For heavier root infestations, we may use root cutting attachments or recommend pipe relining.
Why do the roots come back after jet blasting?
Jetting clears the roots inside the pipe, but the open joint or crack they came through is still there, and the tree is still looking for water. How quickly they return depends on the tree and the pipe. The camera footage shows where they are getting in, and relining those sections seals the pipe so they can't.
Can you jet blast stormwater drains?
Yes. Stormwater lines fill with leaves, silt and garden soil, and jetting flushes that out. We also check the pits and grates, because a pit that is full of silt will block the line again.
Will jet blasting fix a cracked or broken pipe?
No. Jetting clears what is inside the pipe; it doesn't repair the pipe. If the camera shows a crack, an open joint or a collapsed section, we'll show you the footage and explain the repair options, including no-dig relining.
