Water jetting uses a specialised hose and nozzle to break up and flush obstructions from suitable drains. It can be an option for accumulated waste or root-related blockages after the pipe and access conditions have been assessed.
Choosing equipment for the drain condition
The plumber considers the pipe size, condition and nature of the restriction before selecting a nozzle and operating method. Fragile or damaged drainage may need a different approach. Where repeated problems suggest a structural defect, camera findings can guide the next repair decision.
Problems we assess
- Grease and debris restricting drainage
- Suitable lines affected by root intrusion
- Drain cleaning before a clearer camera inspection
Arranging work at a rental property
For a rented property, identify the owner or managing agent who can authorise work and the occupant who can provide access. A clear description of the fault helps the right person make the next decision.
Preparing for camera assessment
Cleaning can improve the view inside a heavily restricted drain. The need for jetting before inspection depends on the material present and whether the pipe is suitable for that cleaning method.
Information to have ready
Point out the affected fixtures and any known drain access. Keep the work area accessible and tell us about previous camera findings or repairs so the plumber can plan the clearing approach.
