High Pressure Jetting from BlockedDrainPlumberMelbourne.au in Melbourne: a fast, non-invasive way to clear serious blockages and restore full flow. Call today for a camera inspection and free quote.
High Pressure Jetting is a type of drain cleaning that uses pressurised water to remove blockages and build-up inside pipes. High Pressure Jetting differs from manual snaking because it cleans pipe walls and removes grease and roots rather than just punching a hole. Melbourne homeowners and small businesses typically need High Pressure Jetting when slow drains, backups or persistent smells keep coming back after simple fixes.
Professional High Pressure Jetting Services in Melbourne
We work on blocked drains for houses, units and shops. You might notice slow sinks or toilets that bubble when the washing machine runs. Sound familiar? That often means there is a deep clog or grease layer. The result? Water won't drain right and smells can get worse.
High Pressure Jetting fixes those problems by blasting water at high speed inside the pipe. It cleans the pipe wall. It strips away roots, fat, soap scum and silt. So flow is restored and the same clog is less likely to come back.
Attempting this yourself can be messy and risky. A DIY jetter often lacks pressure control and camera checks. And you might push the blockage further into the system. Simple. Our team has the gear and training to do the job safely. We also check results with a video camera so you can see the pipe is clear.
Benefits of High Pressure Jetting
- Deep Cleaning: High Pressure Jetting removes layers of grease and silt from pipe walls so water flows freely. It uses a powerful water stream that cleans more than a snake can reach.
- Root Removal: The jet cuts and flushes roots away when they intrude into older pipes. That reduces repeat blockages caused by tree roots.
- Non-invasive Work: The process usually avoids digging. We work from an access point like a drain or inspection opening, so your garden stays intact.
- Fast Results: Most jobs clear in one visit because the jetting cleans the whole pipe run. That saves time and limits disruption to your day.
- Better Inspections: Camera checks before and after the jet give a clear record of pipe condition. You get video that shows the problem and the outcome.
- Longer Pipe Life: Cleaning the pipe interior prevents corrosion and repeated clogs, which helps your plumbing last longer.

Book a Camera InspectionWhat Our High Pressure Jetting Includes
Initial Camera Inspection
We start with a drain camera to find the exact blockage and measure pipe condition. The camera feed tells us where roots, grease or collapsed pipe exists so we can choose the right nozzle and pressure setting.
Controlled Jetting
We use truck-mounted or portable jetters with adjustable pressure. That means we can clear debris without damaging pipes. And we change nozzles to cut roots or lift grease, depending on the issue.
Waste Capture & Cleanup
Debris flushed from the pipe is captured or flushed to a safe discharge point. We clean the work area so you won't find mud or sludge left behind at the access point.
Post-Jet Camera Verification
After jetting we run the camera again and record the footage. That proves the pipe is clear and shows any damage that needs repair. We send the video if you want to keep it.

Signs You Need High Pressure Jetting in Melbourne
Not sure if you need High Pressure Jetting? Here are warning signs Melbourne homeowners and small businesses should watch for:
- Slow drainage: Multiple fixtures drain slowly even after plunging. That often means build-up further down the pipe.
- Gurgling drains: You hear gurgles when appliances run. That suggests trapped air from a clog.
- Repeated blockages: The same drain blocks again soon after a snake. That means the pipe walls still hold grease or roots.
- Bad odours: Persistent sewer smells in the yard or home point to trapped waste in the pipe.
- Backflow or overflow: Water backing into sinks or toilets is a serious sign of a main line obstruction.
- Visible roots or damage near access points: Exposed roots or collapsed sections need a full inspection and likely jetting.
If you notice any of these signs, contact BlockedDrainPlumberMelbourne.au for a professional assessment.
What Affects High Pressure Jetting Cost in Melbourne
The cost of High Pressure Jetting in Melbourne varies based on several factors:
Job complexity
Long blocked runs or multiple blockages need more time and water pressure adjustments. That raises labour and equipment usage for the job.
Access points
If we can reach the pipe from a nearby drain or inspection shaft the job is quicker. Hard-to-reach mains or narrow lanes can add time.
Type of blockage
Grease and silt clean faster than large root masses, which may need multiple passes. Root cutting can add to the time and nozzle wear.
Follow-up repairs
If camera footage shows cracked or collapsed pipe, repairs or relining may be needed. That changes the final cost and we report that clearly.

DIY Snake vs Professional High Pressure Jetting: What Melbourne Homes Should Know
Deciding between a DIY snake and professional High Pressure Jetting matters when clogs keep returning. A snake breaks up a plug but may not clean the walls, while jetting removes the full build-up so the clog is less likely to return.
DIY Snake
Best when:
- Single, small blockages near the fixture
- Minor hair or small debris clogs
- Temporary quick fixes
Considerations: Snakes can push the clog deeper and don't remove grease or roots from pipe walls.
Professional High Pressure Jetting
Best when:
- Recurring clogs after snaking
- Grease build-up or root intrusion
- Long runs or main-line blockages
Considerations: Jetting is more thorough and often avoids repeated visits, but it requires trained operators and camera checks.
