The problem

Common causes we see across the south-east

Tree root intrusion

Jetting with a root-cutting nozzle slices roots out of the pipe rather than punching a hole through them.

Grease and fat build-up

Kitchen lines and commercial drains coat up with fat that an auger can't remove — high-pressure water strips it off the pipe wall.

Silt, sand and scale

Coastal and older properties collect silt and mineral scale that narrows pipes year after year.

Stubborn or repeat blockages

When a drain machine clears a blockage that keeps returning, jetting is usually the step that actually fixes the flow.

The fix

How SOS Drain Cleaning sorts it

Our jetting equipment pushes water at high pressure through nozzles matched to the job — root cutters, degreasers and flushing heads — cleaning the full diameter of the pipe along its length. It reaches deep into sewer and stormwater lines and works on residential and commercial drains alike.

Jetting pairs naturally with a CCTV camera: clear the line, then inspect it. If the jet keeps finding roots at the same joint, the camera shows exactly where the pipe needs repair or relining.

When a CCTV inspection is recommended

After jetting, a CCTV inspection is recommended when roots were present, when the blockage has recurred, or when you want confirmation the pipe itself is sound.

Questions

High Pressure Drain Cleaning — FAQs

Is high-pressure jetting safe for my pipes?
Yes, in trained hands. We adjust pressure and nozzle choice to the pipe material and condition — including older clay and earthenware lines common across the south-east.
Is jetting better than a drain snake?
They do different jobs. A snake or auger bores a hole through a blockage; jetting cleans the pipe wall to full diameter. For roots, grease and long-term flow, jetting wins.
Can you jet stormwater drains?
Yes — stormwater lines, pits and agricultural drains. It's the fastest way to move packed silt, sand and leaf litter out of the system.
Do you jet commercial drains?
Yes — cafés, restaurants, body corporate stacks and industrial sites, including scheduled jetting programs that prevent shutdowns.
