High Pressure Water Jetting
Powerful jetting that clears silt, roots and build up from the full length of a pipe.
About high pressure water jetting
High pressure water jetting is the tool for blockages that a rod or a shovel won't shift. The jetter pushes a high pressure nozzle through the pipe, cutting through roots, silt, gravel and years of build up, and flushing it all out the far end. It cleans the whole length of the line rather than just punching a hole through the first blockage.
It's also the safest way to clean older pipes. Jetting doesn't scrape or stress the pipe the way mechanical clearing can, so it suits clay tiles, older concrete and novaflow just as well as modern PVC.
Good for: Anyone with a pipe or drain that's slow, silted, root bound or completely blocked.
Worth booking in
Clears what rods can't
Roots, compacted silt and gravel need pressure to shift. The jetter does it without digging the pipe up.
Cleans the whole line
A pipe that's only clear at one end blocks again quickly. Jetting flushes the full length.
Kind to old pipes
Water pressure cleans without scraping or stressing the pipe, which matters on older clay and concrete lines.
How we do it
We get access at a sump, outlet or opened section, then work the jetter along the line in stages, flushing the debris out as we go. Once the line is clear we run water through to check flow, and if the jetting turns up a break or collapse we can track it and quote a repair.

What to expect
Tell us what's happening
Call or message with a couple of photos and a rough idea of where the water is going. That's usually enough to tell you what it needs and roughly what it'll cost.
We hunt it down
We jet, track and follow the line until we've found the actual problem, whether it's a blockage, a broken section, or a drain that was never connected in the first place.
Fixed, and flowing
Blockage cleared, repairs made or new drainage put in, then we check it's running before we pack up. If we spot something that'll cause you grief later, we'll tell you.
Signs it's time to get us out
If any of these sound familiar, it's worth a quick call, we're always happy to advise before you book.
- A drain is slow even after it's been cleared
- Roots or silt keep building up in the same line
- An old pipe you'd rather not dig up and replace yet
- Standing water at an inlet that never fully drains
