Blocked Drain? We Jet Blast It Clear

Q: What is drain jetting and how does it work?

Drain jetting uses high-pressure water, up to 5,000 PSI, to clear blockages and clean the inside of the pipe. A nozzle goes into the drain and blasts water in every direction, breaking up grease, roots and debris as it moves through. It clears the whole pipe, not just a hole through the blockage like a snake does.

Jet blasting a blocked stormwater drain with a high-pressure hose reel

Sydney’s High-Pressure Drain Cleaning Experts — Sewer & Stormwater Cleared

Blocked drain? Overflowing toilet? Gurgling shower? If water’s not moving through your pipes, jet blasting is the fastest way to get it flowing again — no digging, no guesswork.

We use high-pressure hydro jetting to blast through:

Tree roots
Grease and fat build-up
Sand, mud and silt
Scale and debris
Blocked stormwater or sewer pipes

It’s a non-invasive fix. We clear the pipe from the inside, so your yard and floors stay exactly as they were.

How Jet Blasting Works

Jet blasting uses a machine that pushes pressurised water through a reinforced hose and into your drain. At the nozzle, the water sprays out in multiple directions at once, cutting through blockages and scrubbing the pipe walls clean as it goes. We set the pressure to match your pipe type and the blockage you’re dealing with — older terracotta gets a different setting to modern PVC.

Every jet blast job includes a CCTV check afterwards, so you can see the pipe is clear, not just guess that it is.

Common Signs You Need Jet Blasting

Toilet water rises or drains slowly
Bad smells coming from drains
Gurgling noises after flushing
Water bubbling in sinks or tubs
Stormwater pooling around the house
Sewer backing up into your home

If you’re seeing any of these, jet blasting usually fixes it in one visit — no trenching, no chemicals.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a blocked sewer and Craig from The Blocked Drain Guys came out straight away. He was fair, honest, kind, and cleared the problem quickly. Highly recommend them for fast and efficient service – thank you Craig!

For context, before calling Craig we had contacted another company (Dans Plumbing). While they partially cleared the blockage, they then tried to pressure us into unnecessary “repairs” with a ridiculous $17,000 quote, making false claims about damaged pipes. We refused, but still had to pay $1,250 for their overpriced call-out.

In the end, Craig solved the issue properly without the nonsense. If you want genuine service without being ripped off, go with The Blocked Drain Guys.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Craig was fantastic to deal with from start to finish. He was incredibly patient, took the time to explain everything clearly (and I had a lot of questions!), and made sure I fully understood what was going on. His work was super thorough, and he managed to clear my blocked drain on the same day—which was such a relief!

On top of that, his pricing was very reasonable, especially for the quality of service provided. I’m so grateful and will definitely be using Craig as my go-to plumber from now on. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a plumber they can trust!

Drain Jetting FAQs

Common questions about high-pressure drain jetting answered by Sydney plumbers

What is drain jetting and how does it work?

Drain jetting uses high-pressure water — up to 5,000 PSI — to clear blockages and clean the inside of the pipe. A nozzle goes into the drain and blasts water in every direction, breaking up grease, roots and debris as it moves through. It clears the whole pipe, not just a hole through the blockage like a snake does.

Is drain jetting better than using a drain snake?

For most blockages, yes. A snake punches a hole through whatever’s blocking the pipe but leaves the build-up on the walls behind. Jetting strips all of it out — grease, scale, roots, debris — which is why it holds up better against blockages that keep coming back.

Can drain jetting damage my pipes?

Not when it’s done properly. We match the water pressure to your pipe material and condition — PVC, copper, cast iron and older terracotta all get treated differently. If there’s any doubt about pipe condition, we run a CCTV check first.

How much does drain jetting cost in Sydney?

Jet blasting typically starts from $250-$400, depending on where the blockage is and how bad it is. It costs more than a basic snake job because it’s more thorough and lasts longer. We give you the price upfront, after we’ve had a look.

How long does drain jetting take?

Most residential jobs take 1-2 hours including setup and cleanup. A longer drain run or a harder blockage can take more time — we’ll tell you the timeframe after we’ve inspected it.

Will drain jetting prevent future blockages?

It cuts the risk right down. Stripping the build-up off the pipe walls gets rid of the conditions that cause repeat blockages. If your place has a history of blocked drains, we’d recommend a yearly jet blast to keep things moving.
