High-Pressure Drain Jetting in the Illawarra
When an electric eel won't touch it, high-pressure water jetting cuts through tree roots, grease, scale and silt — cleaning the full pipe diameter back to a like-new wall.
Local high-pressure drain jetting you can actually rely on
A standard electric eel punches a hole through a blockage; a water jetter cleans the pipe wall back to its full diameter. For root-affected, grease-laden or scaled drains across the Illawarra, jetting is the only way to get a permanent result — and it's the only safe option for fragile clay and old AC pipe where an eel head can crack the pipe wall.
Our jetting units run 4,000–5,000psi at the nozzle with rear-firing root-cutting and forward-firing flush heads. We always CCTV before and after — before, to set the pressure right for the pipe condition; after, to verify the line is clean and to record the result for your insurance, strata or future plumber.
Common Illawarra jetting jobs: kitchen waste lines clogged with grease in cafés and high-use family homes, sewer mains with established tree roots in older Warilla and Wollongong streets, stormwater lines silted up after years of leaf litter and sand, and commercial grease arrestor inlets.
