What is high-pressure drain cleaning?
Whether it’s stubborn blockages, overflowing drains or pipe blockages, our high-pressure water jetting or hydro jet cleaning powers through sludge and debris, penetrates and emulsifies grease, cuts out the hardened scale and pulverises tree roots.
Our team uses a variety of nozzles and advanced cleaning attachments that emit an incredibly high-powered stream of water. Unlike other drain cleaning techniques that may just punch a hole through the blockage rather than clearing it, hydro jet drain cleaning is like washing the inside of your drains and can break apart stubborn blockages at the source. It is the difference between a good-for-today fix and a lasting solution to chronic drain problems.
When do I need high-pressure drain cleaning?
High-pressure drain cleaning is the most effective, efficient and reliable method for clearing almost every type of blocked drain, including blocked kitchen sinks, laundry sinks, blocked showers, clogged toilets and stormwater pipes. It is particularly effective at clearing tough blockages, cutting through tree roots and lifting grease or fat build-up in your sewer and stormwater drains.
Hydro jet cleaning is also an excellent method for maintaining drains to ensure they remain in good working order and free from obstructions. A regular drain cleaning program can protect pipes and remove excess residue, preventing build-up and future blockages.
How can I tell if my drains are blocked?
Unfortunately, blocked drains are an everyday fact of life. Although this can be due to external factors, such as damaged pipes or unwanted intrusions, blockages are usually due to build-ups on the inside of the pipe. This could be for many reasons, including the build-up of fats, oils, grease, or foreign objects such as wipes.
There are several core signs to look for with a blocked drain, including:
Water pooling around shower or bathroom drains
Gurgling sounds within the pipes
Rising water in the toilet after you flush
Bathroom facilities that are emptying very slowly
Bad smells coming from drains
Overflowing manholes, gullies, or drains
If you notice any of the above symptoms, it could indicate that something is blocking your pipes, and it might be time to get some expert help before it develops into a serious problem.

FAQ - High-pressure drain cleaning
What causes blocked drains?
Blockages can be caused for several reasons, such as food scraps, fat, oil, hair, soap, tree roots or flushable wipes, to name a few. Blocked drains are common and caused by many things; however, they can be rectified quickly using the right equipment, no matter how severe the blockage is.
Will bleach clear a blocked drain?
Bleach is an excellent tool for many things. Unfortunately, unblocking drains is not one of them. While you can use ¼ to ¾ cup of bleach followed by a good flush of hot water to clean and deodorise your drain, it won’t be able to clear a blockage.
When is a blockage my responsibility?
Generally speaking, the homeowner is responsible for all drains within the property boundary, including stormwater and sewer drains. As a general rule, anything outside of the property boundary is the responsibility of your local water authority or council. If you are having an issue with your drains, the best place to start is to give the Pipe Doctor a call in the first instance, and we will be able to pinpoint where your problem is and who is responsible.
Can Pipe Doctor unblock indoor and outdoor drains?
Yes, we have various specialised equipment to suit all types and sizes of indoor and outdoor drains to ensure your drainage works as efficiently as possible.
