What Kind of Blockage Needs Jetting?
Not every slow drain calls for high-pressure water, but some faults respond to nothing else:
- Grease and fat set hard along a kitchen or sewer line, sometimes bound up with wipes
- Fine building silt and turf wash packed into a young estate drain
- Root masses left in a line after cutting, where the wall still needs scouring
- Scale and debris on older pipe that keeps narrowing the flow
If the problem is one object near the fixture, a simpler clear on the blocked sewer page may be enough. When the whole pipe wall is the problem, the jetter is the tool.
How We Jet a Drain
The method is the same on a village cottage and a new estate build:
- 01
Camera first
The line is inspected before anything is done, so the jetter is aimed at a known fault instead of a guess.
- 02
Head matched to the fault
A cutting head for roots, a flushing jet for silt and grease, each sized to the pipe.
- 03
Scour the full line
High-pressure water travels the pipe, stripping the wall clean as it goes, with the flow carrying debris out to the gully or access point.
- 04
Camera again
The second pass records the clean wall, and you see the footage before the job is signed off.
Where a storm pit is the problem rather than the line itself, the stormwater drains page covers that work separately.
What Shapes the Price of a Jetting Job?
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
The figure moves on the job itself:
- What is in the line Hard-set grease takes longer to shift than loose silt, and a root mass needs cutting heads and extra passes.
- Hose length A choke close to the inspection opening needs less hose fed in than one sitting under the far end of the house.
- The pipe itself Old earthenware gets lower pressure and a gentler head than PVC, which takes time and care instead of force.
- Getting in If the only opening is buried under new paving, it has to be found and exposed before the hose goes in.
A clear booked for a Sunday or late at night is priced for that time, and the figure is agreed on the phone.

When Jetting Isn't the Answer
When we're not the right call: a jetter clears what is inside the pipe, and some faults are the pipe itself. Where the footage shows a collapsed section or a badly cracked line under the old village core, water will not fix structure, so we move to pipe relining, which seals the old line from the inside without an excavation. A choke that sits beyond the junction in the street sewer is a Hunter Water repair, and we give you the details to report it.
Drain Jetting Questions From Heddon Greta
Does jetting clear tree roots in Heddon Greta drains?
Yes. The cutting head slices roots out of the line and scours the wall clean behind them. Roots tend to come back through the same joint, so the footage shows you exactly where, and the follow-up options sit on the tree root work page.
Do you use chemicals as part of the jetting job?
No. Jetting is water only. The pressure and the specialist heads do all the cutting and scouring, so nothing caustic is left sitting in the line or heading downstream toward the storm network.
Is the camera check included when you jet a line?
Yes. The camera goes through first to confirm the cause, and a second pass afterwards shows you the clean wall. That footage is part of the job, not an extra, and standalone camera runs sit on the CCTV drain inspection page.
How long does a jetting clear take?
It depends on the distance between the opening and the choke, and whether the pipe is clay or PVC. You approve the price before the jetter turns on, and the camera shows the line flowing before we pack up.
