Find the right plumbing business for a blocked drain
When a blocked drain needs more than a quick clear
A slow or blocked drain can disrupt everyday use of a home, particularly when the same issue keeps returning. High pressure drain jetting is one method used for cleaning and clearing sewer, stormwater or trade waste pipework. It uses a hose and specialised nozzle to send water at high pressure through the drainage line.
The immediate aim is to restore flow or capacity while considering whether there may be a reason the drain is likely to block again. Roots, grease, silt and debris can restrict drainage, while collapsed pipework, poorly graded drains and blocked pits may also contribute to recurring problems.
How high pressure jetting works
A high pressure jetting machine may be van-mounted, trailer-mounted or truck-mounted. The hose can be used through available drainage access points such as inspection openings, pits, grease traps and other access points.
As water moves through the pipework, jetting can cut through material in the line and flush it downstream or back to a collection point. This makes high pressure drain cleaning a relevant option where flow needs to be restored and the condition of the drainage asset needs further consideration.
Signs to describe when arranging jetting for a home
Clear observations help a plumbing business understand the situation before attending. A blockage may affect one fixture, several fixtures, an outdoor drain or a pit. It may be internal or external, and sewage or stormwater may be backing up.
- Which fixtures, pits or drains are affected
- Whether there is overflow or backing up
- Whether the problem has happened before and how often
- Where inspection openings, pits, grease traps or tanks are located
- Whether the affected drainage is inside or outside the home
These details do not diagnose the cause, but they give useful context for a blocked-drain enquiry.
Preparing useful information before you choose a plumbing business
- Record the location. Note the property address, a contact person and practical access instructions.
- Describe what is happening. Identify affected fixtures or drains, whether overflow is occurring and whether the issue has happened before.
- Identify access points. Share the location of inspection openings, pits, grease traps or tanks where known.
- Consider equipment access. Explain any access considerations for jetting equipment, vacuum tankers or larger vehicles.
- Share visual context. Photos or short videos of the issue, surrounding area or labels on existing equipment can be helpful.
If the property is occupied, that is also useful context to provide. Homeowners, tenants, landlords, strata owners and property managers may each have different access arrangements to coordinate.
Jetting and other blocked-drain approaches
| Approach | How it relates to a blocked drain |
|---|---|
| High pressure jetting | Uses high-pressure water through a hose and nozzle to clean and clear material from drainage pipework. |
| Electric drain machine | Another service pathway listed for blocked drains. |
| Vacuum tankering services | A further service pathway listed for blocked-drain situations where collection or removal may be relevant. |
The right approach depends on the affected drain, the nature of the restriction, drainage access and the condition of the underlying asset. Sewer drain jetting may be considered for sewer pipework, while other drainage situations may involve stormwater or trade waste pipework.
Products and names customers may encounter
Blocked-drain work can involve equipment, pipework and supply channels from a range of businesses. Examples customers may encounter include Jetwave, Aussie Pumps, RIDGID, Rothenberger and Spartan Tool, alongside supply channels such as Reece, Galvins and Tradelink.
These names are examples associated with plumbing products, equipment or supply channels. Their presence does not indicate that every plumbing business uses, supplies or services a particular product.

Questions about high pressure drain jetting
What is high pressure jetting used for?
High pressure jetting is used to clean and clear sewer, stormwater or trade waste pipework with a high-pressure water hose and specialised nozzle.
Can jet blasting blocked drains address tree roots?
Jetting can cut through roots, grease, silt and debris. If roots or another underlying drainage issue are recurring, further investigation may be needed to understand the drain condition.
Why might a drain block again after it has been cleared?
Repeat blockages may be associated with roots, collapsed pipework, poorly graded drains, grease build-up, blocked pits or other drainage-asset issues.
What information is useful to provide before jetting work?
Useful details include affected fixtures or drains, overflow or backing up, known inspection openings or pits, the history of the issue, equipment access and any photos or videos available.
Can CCTV be relevant after drain clearing?
CCTV may be needed to help confirm the condition of the drain after clearing, particularly where there is concern about an underlying issue.
Is high pressure jetting only for sewer drains?
No. The equipment may be used through sewer, stormwater or trade waste pipework, depending on the drainage situation and available access.
For recurring drainage restrictions, provide a clear description of the affected area, any overflow, known access points and the history of the problem when choosing a plumbing business through Find a Master Plumber.
