What Does Jetting Shift That the Eel Misses?
An electric eel bores a hole through the choke, which gets water flowing again but leaves most of the problem stuck to the pipe walls. Jetting scours the whole inside of the pipe.
- Kitchen grease caked along the sewer, peeled back to bare pipe
- Storm silt and sand settled in the stormwater run
- Root mats cut into pieces and flushed out, not just pierced
- Sludge and soap residue that narrows a drain over years
The difference matters for older lines. A pipe that has been eeled many times blocks again quickly because the walls are still coated; a jetted pipe runs at full bore.
How the Jetting Run Works

Ring or send the form
Call (02) 4063 1232 or use the form to explain the fault. We ask enough to bring the right equipment the first time.
- 02
A fixed price first
A plumber inspects the job and names a fixed figure up front. Nothing gets started until you give the go-ahead.
- 03
Water, not chemicals
The jetter pushes high-pressure water down the line, stripping grease, sludge and roots off the pipe walls and washing the debris out.

Covered for a year
Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work. If something we did isn't right, ring the same number.
How Is the Jetting Job Priced?
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
The figure comes from:
- The line itself A long sewer run or a stormwater pipe buried deep under a garden takes more time than a short branch off the laundry.
- What the camera shows A solid blockage needs the eel to open a path before the jetter can do its work, which adds time to the job.
- Access An inspection opening in the yard is quick work; a line reached from under the house takes longer.
- Out of hours Jetting at night or on a Sunday attracts a higher rate, confirmed on the phone first.
Where the footage shows a cracked or collapsed pipe, clearing it just buys time, and any repair is priced on what the camera found.
Big Trees, Old Clay and the Creek Below
The plantings here are decades old
The water all heads the same way
That mix of roots, silt and storm debris is exactly what jetting handles well, and a camera pass before and after shows which of the three caused your blockage.
What Customers Say
We talked through the options of our blocked kitchen sink drain (not just an s bend problem) and came to the perfect long term solution at a reasonable price.
When the Jetter Is Not the Right Call
Blockages out on the main, past your boundary, are Hunter Water's to fix, so ring them for that stretch of pipe. And where the camera finds a collapsed run, pressure solves nothing: the fix is pipe relining or an excavation, and you approve the cost before either begins.

Drain Jetting Questions, Answered
Does jetting clear tree roots in Elermore Vale drains?
Yes. The water cuts root mats into pieces and flushes them out of the line. Roots regrow through the same open joint, so the camera goes back in after the clear and the footage shows whether the pipe itself needs fixing.
Will high-pressure water damage old clay pipes?
We match the pressure to the pipe. On the 1960s and 70s clay drainage under older homes here we start low and adjust once the camera has shown the pipe's condition, so a fragile line is never hit harder than it can take.
Do you use chemicals as part of the jetting?
No. Jetting is water only, which is why it suits gardens, pets and the stormwater lines feeding Ironbark Creek. Chemicals clear a symptom slowly; water strips the pipe walls clean and the result shows on the after footage.
How long does a jetted drain stay clear?
A pipe in sound condition stays clear for years. A line with cracked barrels or open joints will collect roots again, which is why we film after the clear and show you plainly whether a reline or a repair is the honest next step.
