Drain jetting in the Inner West
When a drain is slow rather than stopped, high-pressure water scours the fat, scale and silt off the pipe wall, all the way to the main. Then the camera checks it.

Fat and scale on the pipe wall
High-pressure jetting scours the pipe wall back to clean, all the way to the main, and the camera checks it on the way out.

What jetting does
A jetter sends water at high pressure through a hose with a nozzle that pulls itself up the pipe. The jets scour the wall as it goes, and the flow carries everything out to the main.
It clears what a cable can’t: fat that has set along the pipe wall from the kitchen, soap and scale from the bathroom, silt in a stormwater line, and the cut roots left after we clear a root blockage.
When to jet
- The kitchen sink or the laundry tub drains slowly, again and again
- Gurgling after the dishwasher runs
- After we cut roots out, to flush the line
- Before a camera inspection, so the camera sees the pipe
- A stormwater line full of silt and leaves
We finish every jetting job on the camera, so you see the pipe wall clean and the line clear to the main.
Units, shops and cafés
In a unit block, kitchens on every floor drain into shared lines, and fat from all of them can set there. In NSW strata, the drains and sewer pipes in common property belong to the owners corporation, so we report the footage to the strata manager.
For shops and cafés along the Inner West’s high streets, we jet the line from the kitchen to the main and film it.

From your call to the fix
Ring, or send a photo
Ring 1300 890 269 at any hour, or send the form with a photo of the gully or the overflow.
Choose when
Any day from tomorrow on, the quote visit is free: we come between 8 am and 3 pm and ring 30 minutes before we arrive. If it can’t wait, a visit today carries a call-out fee, and you hear the amount on the phone before anyone is sent.
On the camera
A licensed drainer clears the line and runs the camera down it with you watching, so you see what caused the blockage and where.
A fixed price, then the fix
You approve a fixed price before we touch the drain. Then we clear, jet, reline or repair it, test the line and leave the yard clean, and our labour on that work is guaranteed for life.
What sets the price
- How long the line is, and how many branches
- What’s in it: fat, scale, silt or cut roots
- Access to the gully or an inspection opening
- Whether you want the camera footage written up
- Booked for tomorrow or later, or needed today
The price you approve before we start is the price you pay, unless you ask us to change the job.
Questions
Something else to ask? Ring 1300 890 269 or put it in the quote form.
Is jetting safe for old pipes?
We look at the line on camera first. Where a pipe is cracked, we jet it with care and quote the repair, rather than push water through a break.
How is jetting different from a plumber’s snake?
A cable punches a hole through a blockage. Jetting scours the whole pipe wall clean, so the line flows at its full size.
Can you jet a stormwater line?
Yes. Stormwater pits and lines fill with silt and leaves, and jetting flushes them out to the street or the council’s drain.
Do you finish on the camera?
Yes. Every jetting job ends with the camera down the line, so you see it’s clear.
My kitchen sink keeps going slow every few months. Will jetting fix it for good?
Jetting scours the fat off the whole pipe wall, not just a hole through it, so the line flows at its full size again. If the camera shows a sag or a dropped joint where the fat collects, we price fixing that as well.
Can you jet a line in a unit block?
Yes. We jet the shared line from the nearest opening and give the strata manager the footage of the line before and after.
