What Is Drain Jetting and When Do You Need It?

Drain jetting is a method of clearing blocked drains using high pressure water. Instead of just punching a hole through the blockage like a traditional drain snake, jetting blasts away the entire build up and cleans the inside walls of the pipe. Willows Plumbing & Gas provides drain jetting across Baldivis, Rockingham, Mandurah, Secret Harbour, Port Kennedy, and surrounding southern suburbs.

How Does Drain Jetting Work?

A high pressure hose with a specialised nozzle is fed into your drain. Water is blasted at high pressure, cutting through blockages and flushing debris out of the pipe. It clears the full diameter of the pipe rather than just a narrow channel, which means blockages take much longer to come back.

Jetting is effective on tree roots, grease and fat build up, food waste, soap scum, and general sludge that accumulates in household drains over time.

What Are the Signs You Need Drain Jetting?

If you notice any of the following at your home, your drains are telling you something:

• Water draining slowly in sinks, showers or the toilet

• Gurgling sounds from drains or the toilet

• Bad smells coming from drains

• Water backing up in one fixture when you use another

• Recurring blockages that keep coming back after being cleared

A drain that keeps blocking is almost always a sign the pipe was never fully cleared. Jetting solves that.

Can You Prevent Blocked Drains?

A few simple habits make a real difference. Avoid pouring fats and oils down the kitchen sink, use drain strainers to catch hair and food scraps, and flush nothing down the toilet except toilet paper. If your home has older pipes or nearby trees, an occasional preventative jet clean can save you from an emergency down the track.
