Why Jetting Outlasts Cabling
A cable is a mechanical auger. It bores a channel through an obstruction, which restores flow immediately but leaves the surrounding build-up in place — so grease closes back over, scale keeps catching solids, and roots regrow into the same gap.
Jetting uses water at high pressure through a directional nozzle to cut the blockage and wash the pipe wall clean back to bare material. On a grease-fouled kitchen line or a scaled cast-iron main, the difference in how long the line stays clear is substantial.
- Cleans the Whole Wall Removes build-up rather than boring a hole through the middle of it.
- Verified on Camera We inspect before and after so you can see the result rather than take our word.
- Matched Pressure Pressure and nozzle chosen for the pipe material — older lines need judgement, not maximum force.
What We See
Jetting Is the Right Call For
Situations where cabling will not hold.
-
Grease-Fouled Kitchen Lines
Grease coats the pipe wall and cabling barely touches it.
-
Scaled Cast Iron
Decades of scale narrowing an old main line down to a fraction of its diameter.
-
Root Fibre
Jetting clears fine root mass that cabling leaves behind.
-
Repeat Backups
If a line is cleared every year, it has never actually been cleaned.

- Jetting Appropriate pressure and nozzle for the line, worked back along its full length.
- Post-Inspection Camera again to confirm the wall is clean and to spot any defect the build-up was hiding.
- Recommendations If the camera reveals a structural problem, you get a proportionate plan.

★★★★★
Drake came to our house after we experienced a leak from our upstairs bathroom. He patiently heard my concerns and very professionally handled the situation. He explained everything clearly so I knew exactly what he was doing and he made sure it all made sense. His experience was invaluable and he definitely knows what he is doing! If I ever have to go through anything like this again, I will request Drake by name!

Frequently Asked Questions
Is hydrojetting safe for older pipe?
In the right hands, yes. We camera the line first to identify material and condition, and match pressure accordingly. On a badly deteriorated line we will recommend repair instead.
How is it different from snaking?
A cable bores a hole through the clog. Jetting washes the entire pipe wall clean, so it stays clear far longer.
How often would I need it?
For most homes it is occasional rather than routine. Restaurants and heavy-grease situations schedule it regularly.
Will it damage tree roots I want to keep?
It clears roots inside the pipe only. The tree itself is unaffected, though the roots will return if the defect is not repaired.
