Blocked drains, sewers, downpipes and stormwater, we clear it all. Hydro jet drain cleaning and CCTV inspection across Melbourne, backed by decades of pipe knowledge.
Hydro Jet Drain Cleaning Services Across Melbourne
Drain jetting works where a snake, rods or manual clearing tools fall short. It blasts high-pressure water at up to 4000 PSI through the blockage, flushing the debris downstream and clearing your pipe from wall to wall, not just punching a hole through the middle.
For recurring blockages, a CCTV camera inspection runs first. There’s no point jetting a line that has a collapsed section or a root intrusion point that will reform in the pipe further down. Our team pinpoints the exact issue before we start.
Melbourne Drain runs hydro jet drain cleaning across sewers, stormwater lines, downpipes and general household drains. Domestic and commercial jobs both get the same fast, quoted service.
Our jetting units range up to 4000 PSI, so we can dial in the right pressure and flow rate for your pipe size and material, rather than using a one-setting-fits-all approach.
Cold water clears general debris, tree root intrusion and silt buildup. Hot water jetting handles grease, fat and waxy buildup in kitchen lines and floor wastes. This difference matters because cold water alone won't shift set grease.
High-pressure water jetting clears drains without harsh chemicals that degrade older pipe or corrode fittings over time. It's safe on PVC, and gentle enough for older clay and earthenware pipes that are more common in period properties.
Hot Water Drain Jetting for Grease, Fat and Waste Blockages
Grease doesn’t respond to cold water the way most other blockages do. It just moves further down the line and resets somewhere else. Our hot water jetting equipment combines heated water with high pressure to properly break down and flush grease, fat and waste buildup, not just push it along.
Hot water jetting reaches temperatures up to 100°C at up to 4000 PSI, giving it real cutting power against the toughest kitchen and food waste buildup. The difference shows up in how long it stays clear.
Most blocked drains don’t need heat. Root intrusion, compacted silt, wet wipes, scale buildup and general stormwater and sewer blockages respond well to high-pressure cold water jetting, with no heating required.
Where cold water has the edge is access speed and cost. The unit is lighter, sets up faster and gets a residential blockage cleared without the added time or cost of a heating element. This matters most when it’s the difference between clearing the line now and waiting for it.
The pan and tilt camera goes in before the jetter. It confirms the blockage type, location and pipe condition, and rules out grease buildup, root intrusion or a compacted section. Jetting blind risks missing the real cause.
Up to 4000 PSI at 17 litres per minute removes the blockage. Root masses, silt and debris are cleared with cold water jetting, while hot water hydro jetting at 100°C handles grease, liquefies and buildup that plain water pressure alone won't move.
The camera goes back through the line to confirm the blockage is gone. This step also flags any structural issues, like cracked joints or an entry point, before we close out the call.
Up to 4000 PSI strips the buildup off the pipe wall, not just the centre of it. A drain snake pokes a channel through, while hydro jetting clears the full diameter behind it.
Hydro jet cleaning strips buildup from the pipe wall, not just the centre of it. On lines that block repeatedly, that's the difference between a temporary clear and a lasting result.
A blocked drain often smells because waste is breaking down in the line. Jetting flushes it out, leaving sewer, waste and stormwater lines clear of the smell that comes with sitting matter.
The same jetting equipment clears residential sewer lines, waste pipes and stormwater drains. Nozzle selection adapts to pipe diameter, so the process stays the same across residential and commercial jobs.
Blocked drains build up over months. It’s a slow shower one week, a gurgling toilet a few weeks later. Then a stormwater line that can’t handle heavy rainfall, usually the first drain-related issue that actually gets someone’s attention.
Regular hydro jet drain cleaning removes buildup before it turns into a blockage, reducing the need for emergency callouts. On older homes with clay or cast-iron pipes especially, a scheduled jet each year typically works out cheaper than an emergency call once things back up completely.
