What Is Hydro Jetting?
Hydro jetting is a drain-cleaning method that uses a high-pressure water jetter to clear the line. The jet cuts roots clean back to the pipe wall itself, while mechanical tools only trim them, says What's The Damage. Hydro jet drain cleaning is the same job under another name.
Hydro Jetting vs a Drain Machine
Hydro jetting and a drain machine such as the electric eel each suit a different blockage. Sydney Water says fats, oils and grease cool and harden in wastewater pipes, and kitchen grease is a common one:
-
Roots and Repeat Blockages
Jetting strips roots off the pipe wall entirely, while mechanical tools only trim them, says What's The Damage. The guide also says a drain that keeps re-blocking, with roots or suspected pipe damage, suits the camera and the jetter.
-
Everyday Fixture Blockages
What's The Damage says a standard clear suits an everyday blockage in one fixture. The drain machine or a hand auger is enough for one slow sink or shower.
-
Chemicals Miss Main Lines
Caustic chemical drain cleaners can soften a minor kitchen clog, says What's The Damage, but they won't touch tree roots, wipes or main-line blockages.
-
Camera Before Choosing
We run our CCTV drain camera in first, so the right tool is picked before any quote. Book a CCTV drain inspection, a camera fed down the pipe to see inside, and the footage shows which tool suits the line.
Drain Jetting Jobs We Do Across Sydney
One camera look shows what's blocking the line before our high pressure drain cleaning begins:
-
Sewer Line Jetting
Get a quoteSewer lines carry waste from your fixtures to the sewer main, and drain jetting clears them when roots or grease block the flow. Our sewer jetting service covers that job, from camera run to final flush.
-
Electric Eel Drain Cleaning
Get a quoteWe carry an electric eel, which is a motorised cable that bores through a blockage, for fixture blockages a plunger won't shift. Book electric eel drain cleaning for one blocked fixture, not the whole line.
-
Stormwater Line Jetting
Get a quoteWhen the yard's stormwater drain blocks with silt, debris or roots, our jet blaster clears that line with the same nozzle and hose we use on sewer pipes. Rainwater then drains away instead of pooling.

Cutting tree roots from a sewer line is work our jet blaster does in one pass, cutting and clearing as it goes. Our tree root removal service also covers the repairs and the regrowth.
Our Process
Every jetting job runs five steps:
-
Camera first
Our CCTV drain camera inspects and locates the blockage inside the line, often through the inspection opening. You see the footage on the screen before any jetting starts. -
Access point
We feed the jet blaster's hose into the line at the access point the camera run showed, so it reaches the blockage. -
Jet the line
The jet blaster's nozzle and hose scour the pipe walls, cutting roots and flushing grease, and that jet and flush clears the whole line. -
Camera shows clear
A final camera run shows the cleared line on the monitor, so you see the result yourself, not just our word for it. -
Tidy up
We pack away the jet blaster and leave the yard clean. The labour on the job sits under the Lifetime Labour Warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Do Hydro Jetting Myself?
No, you can't do hydro jetting yourself on a sewer-connected drain, because Building Commission NSW counts flushing or cleansing that drain as draining work. Draining work needs a NSW licence whatever the job costs, so it belongs to a licensed drainer.
How Much Does Hydro Jetting Cost in Sydney?
Hydro jetting with a camera inspection runs $350 to $1,100 across Australia, according to What's The Damage (October 2026). Roots, repeat blockages and suspected pipe damage belong in that band. Your written quote confirms the price. See what moves a Sydney price within that band in the full hydro jetting cost guide.
Is Hydro Jetting a Good Idea for My Drains?
Yes, hydro jetting is a good idea for a drain that keeps re-blocking, tree roots or suspected pipe damage, because the jet cuts roots back to the pipe wall. For one slow fixture, a standard clear is enough.
What Does the Camera Show Before Jetting?
A CCTV drain camera shows the blockage, its cause and where it sits in the line, before any quote. We use that footage to pick the jetter, the drain machine or a repair.
Will Jetting Stop Tree Roots Coming Back?
No, jetting won't stop tree roots coming back, because Sydney Water says roots enter small cracks and keep growing. Ask about a regular maintenance plan, or pipe relining to seal the cracked joints. What's The Damage puts older homes with earthenware or clay lines among the likeliest to have cracked joints and root intrusion.
How Do I Book Hydro Jetting in Sydney?
Booking hydro jetting takes one call to (02) 9158 3577; a real person picks up around the clock and books Same Day Service with a $0 call-out fee.
