High pressure drain jetting is a professional drain cleaning method that uses highly pressurised water to clear blockages, debris and build-up from pipes and drains. Operating at pressures of up to 4000 PSI, this equipment is powerful enough to cut through stubborn obstructions such as grease, sediment and even tree roots.
Because of its effectiveness, high pressure water jetting is one of the most commonly used methods for clearing blocked drains in Geelong and surrounding areas.
Read further to understand how the system working and why it is important.
How Does High Pressure Drain Jetting Work?
The process involves feeding a specialised hose into the drain, where high-pressure water blasts away blockages and thoroughly cleans the inside of the pipe.
Unlike temporary fixes, high pressure jetting helps remove built-up debris along the pipe walls, improving water flow and reducing the likelihood of recurring blockages.
This method is commonly used for:
- Sewer drains
- Stormwater drains
- Blocked sinks and toilets
- Grease build-up
- Tree root intrusion
- Commercial drainage systems
In established areas such as Geelong and surrounding suburbs, older drainage systems and tree-lined properties can often experience recurring drain issues, making preventative drain cleaning especially important.
Why High Pressure Drain Cleaning Is Effective
High pressure drain jetting is popular because it is:
-
Fast and efficient
-
Environmentally friendly
-
Cost-effective
-
Suitable for both residential and commercial drains
- Effective for recurring blockages
Regular drain cleaning can help prevent serious drainage issues from developing over time and reduce the risk of costly repairs.
CCTV Drain Inspections
At The Drain Man, we often combine high pressure drain jetting with advanced CCTV drain inspections to accurately identify the cause and location of the blockage.
Using specialised drain cameras, our team can inspect underground pipes and assess whether there are underlying issues such as:
- Tree root intrusion
- Cracked or damaged pipes
- Pipe collapse
- Severe build-up within the drainage system
Before and after footage can also be provided so customers can clearly see the condition of their drains.
Jet Drain Cleaning & Pipe Relining
In some cases, recurring blockages may indicate more serious structural damage within the pipes. If required, we may recommend drain relining as a long-term solution.
Drain relining is a no-dig pipe repair method that restores damaged drains from the inside without excavation. This helps strengthen the pipe, reduce future blockages and avoid the disruption of digging up gardens, driveways or landscaping.
For homeowners and businesses requiring a local plumber in Geelong, The Drain Man provides professional drain clearing, CCTV inspections and no-dig drain relining solutions.
