Drain Cleaning & Jetting

Geelong’s Drainage Specialists

Professional Drain Cleaning Services That Actually Last

Dealing with slow drains or recurring blocked drains is frustrating, and temporary fixes just don’t cut it. Our drain cleaning and high-pressure jetting services in Geelong clear your pipes completely, not just punch a hole through the clog. Using cutting-edge equipment and 19 years of local expertise, we remove grease, tree roots, scale buildup, and debris that cause problems in the first place.

We begin with a CCTV drain inspection so we know exactly what’s going on inside your pipes before choosing the best cleaning method. From there, we tailor our jetting pressure and technique to suit your pipe material, blockage type, and system layout, ensuring a long-lasting clean rather than a quick fix.

The result? Clean drains that stay clear longer, saving you money on repeat callouts and emergency repairs.

How Our Cleaning and Jetting Process Works

We’ve perfected our approach to deliver lasting results without damaging your pipes or wasting your time.
Here’s how our complete drain-cleaning workflow comes together:

Step 1. CCTV Camera Inspection

We always start by seeing what’s actually causing the problem. Our camera inspection identifies the blockage location, shows us what’s blocking your drain, and reveals any pipe damage that needs attention.

Step 2. Assessment and Recommendation

Based on what we find, we recommend the best approach for your specific situation. Drains need gentle mechanical cleaning, while others benefit from high-pressure water jetting. We explain your options clearly and provide upfront pricing before starting any work.

Step 3. High-pressure Water Jetting

For most blockages, we use specialised jetting equipment that blasts water at precise pressures through your pipes. The powerful stream cuts through grease, scale, tree roots, and debris, then flushes everything downstream. Unlike chemical cleaners or basic snaking, this method cleans the entire pipe diameter.

Step 4. Complete Debris Removal

As the jetting breaks up blockages, our equipment captures and removes all the loosened material. Your pipes aren’t just opened up, they’re thoroughly cleaned from wall to wall, which prevents quick re-clogging.

Step 5. Post-Cleaning Inspection

We run the camera through again after cleaning to verify the blockage is completely gone and show you the results. You’ll see your clean pipes on screen, giving you confidence the job’s done properly.

Step 6. Preventive Maintenance Advice

We’ll recommend a maintenance schedule based on your property’s specific needs and offer scheduled programmed maintenance so you can set and forget . Regular drain cleaning services prevent emergency callouts and extend the life of your plumbing system, saving you money long term.

Why High-Pressure Jetting Beats Traditional Cleaning

Effective On Stubborn Blockages

Tree roots, decades of grease buildup, mineral scale, soap scum, and concrete debris all clear effectively with proper jetting technique. Where other methods fail, high-pressure water cuts through and removes even the toughest obstructions.

Prevents Future Blockages

By cleaning the entire pipe interior, drain jetting removes the buildup that leads to recurring clogs. You’ll go much longer between cleanings compared to quick-fix methods that leave residue behind.

Safe For Modern Plumbing Systems

When performed by experienced professionals, water jetting is perfectly safe for PVC, copper, cast iron, and other common pipe materials. We use specialised drainage jetting heads and adjust pressure based on your pipe condition to ensure thorough cleaning without damage.

Fast Turnaround Time

Most residential cleaning and jetting is completed within a few hours. We arrive with all necessary equipment, diagnose the problem quickly, and get your drains flowing properly the same day in most cases.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between jetting and snaking?

Drain snaking uses a rotating cable to break through blockages, creating a hole for water to flow. It’s effective for simple clogs but leaves buildup on pipe walls. Drain jetting uses high-pressure water to completely clean the entire pipe diameter, removing all grease, scale, and debris. Jetting provides longer-lasting results and prevents quick re-clogging.

Is high-pressure jetting safe for my pipes?

Yes, when performed by trained professionals. We conduct a camera inspection first to assess pipe condition, then adjust water pressure based on your specific pipes. Modern PVC, copper, and cast iron pipes handle jetting easily. For older or damaged pipes, we use gentler methods or recommend repairs before cleaning.

When should I schedule my drain or sewer cleaning?

Most residential properties benefit from professional cleaning every 18-24 months as preventive maintenance. Commercial kitchens and restaurants often need quarterly sewer cleaning due to heavy grease loads. We’ll recommend a schedule based on your property’s usage, pipe material, and history of blockages.

Can jetting remove tree roots from my drains?

Absolutely. High-pressure water jetting cuts through tree roots that have invaded your sewer lines and flushes them downstream. For severe root intrusions, we may recommend pipe relining after cleaning to create a seamless barrier that prevents roots from re-entering through pipe joints.

Do you offer same-day drain cleaning service?

Yes, we provide same-day service for most drain cleaning requests across Geelong, the Surf Coast, and Bellarine Peninsula. For emergency blockages causing sewage backup or flooding, we’re available 24/7 and respond quickly to minimise property damage and disruption.

Why does drain jetting cost more than basic snaking?

Jetting requires specialised high-pressure equipment, extensive training, and more time than basic snaking. However, it delivers far superior results by completely cleaning your pipes instead of just opening a hole. This means longer-lasting results, fewer repeat callouts, and better value long term despite the higher upfront cost.
