In short Clearing and cleaning drains with high-pressure water (typically 3,000–5,000 psi) delivered through a hose and specialised nozzle that pulls itself along the pipe.

A water jetter uses rear-facing jets to propel the hose forward while blasting the pipe walls clean. Different nozzles suit different jobs: penetrating heads for punching through blockages, root-cutting heads for fibrous intrusions, and flushing heads for washing silt back to an access point.

Unlike an electric eel, jetting cleans the full circumference of the pipe rather than just boring a hole through the blockage — which is why it is usually paired with a CCTV inspection to confirm the result.

What Is It For?

Removes blockages, grease, silt and roots while cleaning the pipe wall itself.

Where You'll Find It

Used in house drains, sewer mains and stormwater lines via any suitable access point.

Common Problems

Requires care in fragile, badly cracked pipes
Cannot fix structural defects — only cleans them
Blockages from collapsed pipe will simply return

How DrainSpy Brisbane Deals With It

A CCTV drain inspection is the standard way to confirm whether this is what's happening in your pipes: the camera shows the condition on screen, a locator pinpoints the exact position and depth, and you get a recorded report before any repair decisions are made.
