High-pressure drain jetting
Drain jetting uses water pressure to clear build-up inside a pipe.
Whether it suits your blockage depends on the pipe and what is caught inside.
What jetting shifts
- Fat and oil build-up from the kitchen
- Sand and silt
- Soft blockages like wipes
- Roots, ahead of a reline
What it cannot fix
Jetting clears a pipe. It does not close cracks. If roots or blockages keep returning, a repair may need to be considered separately.

Questions people ask us
What can I flush?
Toilet paper and what the toilet is for. That is it.
Wet wipes, paper towels, hair and cotton buds cause blockages. Fats and oils down the sink do too, so scrape pans into the bin.
Why do roots keep coming back?
Roots enter through cracks in the pipe. Cutting them out clears the drain, but the crack is still there, so they grow back in.
Many older beach homes still have terracotta sewer pipes that roots can crack into.
Gums and figs around Frenchs Forest, Belrose, Avalon and Newport send roots looking for water.
Sealing the pipe closes the way in. When planting, avoid trees within 6 metres of wastewater pipes.
What does a camera check show?
A camera inspection can help locate roots, cracks, built-up fat or something stuck inside a pipe.
For an older home in Newport with a clay sewer pipe, it may help assess possible cracks or roots.
It is a separate service to discuss when needed, not a free check included with every job.
Why does the drain smell after rain?
Sydney Water says heavy rain can overload the wastewater system. If your drain in Dee Why or Narrabeen only plays up after rain, tell us that when you get in touch.
A crack or partial blockage in your own pipe can do the same. If it keeps happening, describe when it occurs so we can discuss the next steps.
Stormwater follows a different route from private drains to street gutters and out to beaches, creeks and lagoons, including Narrabeen, Dee Why and Manly lagoons.
How much does it cost?
Pipe relining is from around $3,000 inc GST. Blocked drains and our other services are quoted after a look.
