What is High Pressure Jetting? (The Hydro Jetting Difference)
High Pressure Jetting, or Hydro Jetting, is the superior method for cleaning sewer and stormwater drains. Unlike traditional drain snaking, which only punches a hole through a blockage, our service uses specialised equipment to propel a focused stream of water at high pressure (up to 4,000 PSI) through your pipes.
This powerful, directed force effectively cuts through and flushes out all debris, leaving the inner pipe walls as clean as the day they were installed.
Why High Pressure Jetting is the Best Choice
High Pressure Jetting provides a level of cleanliness and efficiency that chemical drain cleaners or mechanical snaking simply cannot match.
| Feature | Hydro Jetting (Aquavolt) | Snaking / Chemicals |
|---|---|---|
| Cleaning Power | Clears the entire pipe wall of sludge, grease, and residue. | Only pokes a hole through the blockage, leaving debris to quickly build up again. |
| Effectiveness | 95%+ comprehensive clog removal rate. Highly effective against tree roots, grease, and mineral scale. | Typically 65-70% effective for long-term relief. Ineffective against hardened scale or full grease buildup. |
| Environmental Impact | Eco-friendly—uses only high-pressure water, with no harsh, corrosive chemicals that can damage pipes or the environment. | Uses chemicals that are harmful to pipes and can pose environmental risks. |
| Long-Term Value | Results typically last 1 to 2 years for residential properties, drastically reducing the frequency of service calls. | Often requires service every few months for recurring issues, increasing long-term costs. |
When Should You Hydro Jet Your Drains?
If you are dealing with recurring blockages, slow drains, or strong odours, a single High Pressure Jetting treatment provides a definitive long-term solution.
We recommend this service particularly for:
- Stubborn & Recurring Blockages: When snaking provides only temporary relief.
- Heavy Grease and Fat Build-up: Essential for commercial kitchens or high-usage residential kitchens where FOG (Fats, Oils, Grease) has created hardened residue.
- Tree Root Intrusion: The powerful water stream can effectively cut and remove intrusive small to moderate tree roots.
- Preventative Maintenance: Scheduling a Hydro Jetting every 12 to 24 months can prevent major emergencies and extend the life of your plumbing system.
