What Is Drain Jetting?
Drain jetting – also known as high-pressure drain cleaning – uses sophisticated and specialised equipment to deliver an extremely powerful water stream into your pipes. The massive force of the water scours the inside of the drain, clearing build-up and pushing it through the system.
Compared to rodding or plunging, jet blast drain cleaning can:
- Reach deeper
- Clean more thoroughly
- Prevent future blockages by removing every trace of sludge or residue.
It’s safe for your pipes, highly effective, and suitable for everything from kitchen sinks to stormwater drains.

How Does A Drain Jet Work?
The high-tech drain jet tool connects to a water source and a high-pressure pump, which forces water through a flexible hose inserted into your drain. Different nozzles are used depending on the job – backward-facing jets pull the hose deeper into the pipe, while forward-facing jets break through obstructions.
This process is perfect for removing:
- Tree roots
- Grease build-up
- Hair and soap scum
- Food waste
- Sand and mud
- Scale and mineral deposits.
While older methods often punch a hole through a blockage, jet blasting blocked drains removes the clog entirely – cleaning the full diameter of the pipe and leaving no trace behind.
The Benefits Of High Pressure Water Jetting
Here’s why so many Brisbane homes and businesses are turning to jetting as their go-to drain solution:
- Thorough Cleaning: Jetting doesn’t just unblock – it scrubs the entire pipe interior.
- Non-Invasive: No digging, no cutting, no chemicals. Just water under pressure.
- Fast Results: Blockages are cleared quickly – often within minutes.
- Versatile: Works on blocked stormwater drains, blocked sewers, kitchen and bathroom sinks, and outdoor drains.
- Prevents Recurrence: With the residue removed, new clogs are far less likely.
A plumbing water jetter is also ideal for routine maintenance – especially in commercial kitchens, aged drains, or properties surrounded by large trees.
Jetting is one of the most effective ways to clear blocked drains quickly and thoroughly without damaging your plumbing. Whether it’s a one-off issue or part of your regular maintenance routine, drain jetting is fast, powerful, and ideal for both residential and commercial plumbing systems.
Tools Of The Trade – Plumbing Jetters
The plumbing jet blaster is a key tool in any serious plumber’s kit. Designed specifically for clearing drains, it delivers incredibly high high-pressure water – usually between 3,000 and 5,000 psi – capable of cutting through thick blockages.
Our experienced and licensed water jetter operators at Brisbane Drain Cleaning use modern jetting plumbing equipment that’s safe for residential pipes but powerful enough for heavy-duty applications. With a range of nozzles and access tools, we can reach deep into complex drainage systems with minimal disruption to your property.
Where Jetting Plumbing Works Best
High-pressure water jet plumbing is highly effective for:
- Kitchen Drains: Cuts through grease and food waste in seconds.
- Bathroom Pipes: Removes soap, hair, and scale without dismantling fixtures.
- Stormwater Systems: Clears leaves, mud, and sand from outdoor drains.
- Sewer Lines: Dislodges tree roots and build-up before they become major blockages.
- Commercial Settings: Ideal for restaurants, cafes, and commercial kitchens with high waste volumes.
Whether you need a one-off plumber jetter service or a scheduled clean-out, jetting is the most thorough and cost-effective option available.
Is A High Pressure Water Jetter Safe?
Yes! When used by trained and experienced professionals, a high pressure water jetter is completely safe for most residential and commercial pipes. Our equipment is calibrated to suit your system and drain type, reducing the risk of damage that can occur with older methods or chemical treatments.
It’s also environmentally friendly – no caustic cleaners, just clean water used in a controlled, precise way for the results you expect and deserve.
What About The Cost?
You might be wondering about jet blaster plumbing cost – especially compared to more traditional drain-clearing methods.
While pricing depends on the job size and blockage severity, jetting is often more cost-effective both short and long-term. That’s because:
- It’s quick, cheap, and efficient to use
- Cleans the full pipe
- Helps prevent future blockages, reducing the need for repeat call-outs.
Here at Brisbane Drain Cleaning, we offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees – and we’ll always explain the recommended solution before starting any work.
Jetter Plumbing For Preventative Maintenance
Don’t wait for a total blockage. Scheduling jetter plumbing services once a year – especially in high-risk areas like commercial kitchens or leafy Brisbane suburbs – can prevent bigger problems down the track.
We also recommend jetting after Brisbane’s major storms or flooding, which can wash debris into outdoor stormwater systems and cause hidden buildup.
If you’ve had recurring blockages, a clean-out with a jet blasting plumbing system might be the solution that finally keeps them gone for good.
