High-Pressure Drain Cleaning

Professional Hydro Jetting Services Across Sydney

When traditional drain cleaning methods fail, hydro jetting delivers unmatched cleaning power. Panther Plumbing Group's state-of-the-art equipment uses pressurised water streams up to 5,000 PSI to obliterate the toughest blockages and restore your drains to like-new condition. Unlike plungers, drain snakes, or chemical cleaners that only create holes through blockages, hydro jetting completely scours pipe walls clean—removing grease build-up, tree roots, mineral deposits, and years of accumulated debris.

Maximum Cleaning Power

Up to 5,000 PSI of pressurised water obliterates blockages that traditional methods cannot touch. Complete pipe scouring removes 100% of buildup.

100% Chemical-Free

Pure water only—no harsh chemicals, acids, or caustic solutions. Safe for your family, pets, and the environment. Eco-friendly drain cleaning.

Adjustable Pressure Protection

Variable pressure settings protect all pipe materials. From delicate PVC (1,500-2,500 PSI) to heavy-duty commercial pipes (3,500-5,000 PSI).

Long-Lasting Results

Complete wall-to-wall cleaning prevents recurring blockages. Results last 4-6x longer than traditional snaking or chemical treatments.

What Hydro Jetting Removes From Your Drains

High-pressure water obliterates blockages traditional methods cannot

Grease & Fat Build-Up

Common

Commercial kitchens and residential drains accumulate layers of grease, cooking oils, and fats that solidify and restrict flow. Hydro jetting cuts through grease like butter, flushing it completely away.

Tree Roots & Vegetation

Severe

Invasive tree roots penetrate pipe joints seeking moisture. Our root-cutting nozzles slice through roots and flush them out, clearing the blockage and buying time before structural repairs.

Mineral Scale & Deposits

Progressive

Sydney's hard water leaves calcium, lime, and rust deposits that narrow pipe diameter over years. High-pressure jets break apart mineral scale and restore full capacity.

Soap Scum & Residue

Common

Soap, shampoo, and cleaning products create sticky residue that traps hair and debris. Hydro jetting strips away buildup, leaving pipes spotlessly clean.

Sludge & Sediment

Moderate

Sand, dirt, food waste, and organic matter settle in low points of drain systems. Powerful jets mobilise heavy sludge and flush it to the sewer.

Foreign Objects & Debris

Variable

Sanitary products, wipes, toys, and construction debris lodge in bends and junctions. Hydro jetting dislodges stuck items and clears them from your system.

When To Use

When You Need Hydro Jetting

Common scenarios where hydro jetting delivers superior results

Recurring Drain Blockages

When your drains keep blocking despite repeated snaking or plunging, hydro jetting removes the underlying cause—whether it's grease buildup, tree roots, or scale—preventing future blockages.

Commercial Kitchen Maintenance

Restaurants and food service businesses must prevent grease trap overflows and maintain hygiene standards. Scheduled hydro jetting keeps drains flowing and helps avoid council penalties.

Pre-Relining Preparation

Before pipe relining can be performed, drains must be completely clean. Hydro jetting provides the spotless surface required for relining resin to properly bond to pipe walls.

Slow Draining Systems

Gradual flow reduction indicates partial blockages or buildup restricting your pipes. Hydro jetting restores full diameter and maximum flow before you experience complete blockages.

Strata & Multi-Unit Buildings

Shared drainage systems serve multiple tenants and require preventative maintenance. Quarterly or biannual hydro jetting prevents emergency overflows and shared-cost repairs.

Stormwater & Outdoor Drains

Leaves, mud, silt, and debris clog outdoor drains before heavy rain. Pre-storm hydro jetting prevents flooding by clearing stormwater systems to maximum capacity.

Our Process

How Our Hydro Jetting Service Works

Professional, thorough, and safe high-pressure drain cleaning

1

CCTV Pre-Inspection

Before jetting, we perform a camera inspection to identify blockage type, locate damage, assess pipe condition, and determine appropriate pressure levels. This ensures we use the right nozzle and pressure for your specific situation.

2

Pressure & Nozzle Selection

Based on pipe material, diameter, age, and blockage type, we select the optimal PSI setting (1,500-5,000 PSI) and specialised nozzle—penetrating nozzles for roots, spinning nozzles for grease, flushing nozzles for debris.

3

Access Point Setup

We feed high-pressure hoses through cleanouts, inspection openings, or create temporary access points. Surrounding areas are protected with tarps, and we brief you on the process and expected duration.

4

High-Pressure Jetting

The specialised nozzle is propelled through your drain by powerful water jets shooting backwards. Forward-facing jets blast through blockages while rear jets scour pipe walls clean, flushing all debris to the sewer.

5

Multiple Pass Cleaning

We make several passes through the affected drain section, gradually increasing pressure as needed. Stubborn blockages receive focused treatment with root-cutting or grease-penetrating nozzles until completely cleared.

6

Post-Jetting Verification

A final CCTV inspection confirms complete blockage removal and assesses pipe condition. We document before-and-after footage, provide maintenance recommendations, and quote any required repairs.

Our Equipment

Professional Hydro Jetting Technology

State-of-the-art equipment for superior results

Variable Pressure Systems (1,500-5,000 PSI)

Adjustable pressure protects delicate residential PVC (1,500-2,500 PSI) while delivering maximum power for commercial concrete and cast iron pipes (3,500-5,000 PSI). Precise control prevents damage.

Specialised Nozzle Collection

Penetrating nozzles punch through roots, rotating nozzles scour grease from walls, chain flails break up scale, and flushing nozzles clear debris. Each blockage type requires specific technology.

Extended Reach Hoses (100m+)

Heavy-duty reinforced hoses reach deep into drainage systems, navigating bends and junctions. Sufficient length covers entire residential properties and large commercial sites from single access points.

Truck-Mounted & Portable Units

Our fleet includes powerful truck-mounted systems for major blockages and portable units for confined spaces, upper floors, and indoor access. Every location can be serviced effectively.

Integrated CCTV Systems

Built-in cameras work alongside jetting equipment for real-time monitoring. Watch blockages dissolve on screen and verify complete cleaning before we pack up.

Eco-Friendly

Safe For Your Family & The Environment

Chemical-free cleaning that protects what matters

100% Chemical-Free

Unlike drain cleaners that use caustic acids or harsh chemicals, hydro jetting relies purely on pressurised water. No toxic fumes, no chemical residue, and no environmental contamination. Safe for septic systems and waterways.

Family & Pet Safe

No dangerous chemicals means no risk to children or pets. Your family can use taps, showers, and toilets immediately after service—no waiting for chemicals to flush through or toxic residues to clear.

Pipe Protection

Chemicals weaken pipe joints and corrode metals over time. Hydro jetting's adjustable pressure cleans thoroughly without damaging pipes—even protecting delicate older systems while delivering powerful cleaning.

Water Efficiency

Modern hydro jetting equipment uses surprisingly little water—typically 30-60 litres for residential jobs. The high pressure does the work, not high volume, making it more water-efficient than repeated flushing with chemicals.

Sydney's Eco-Friendly Drain Cleaning Solution

Panther Plumbing Group is committed to sustainable plumbing practices. Hydro jetting aligns with our environmental values—delivering superior cleaning results while protecting Sydney's waterways, ecosystems, and the health of your family.

FAQs

Hydro Jetting FAQs

Common questions about high-pressure drain cleaning

Is hydro jetting safe for all types of pipes?
Hydro jetting is safe for most pipe materials when performed by licensed professionals. We adjust pressure based on your pipe type: PVC, copper, and modern materials handle 2,000-3,000 PSI safely, while older terracotta or concrete pipes require lower pressures around 1,500-2,500 PSI. Our CCTV pre-inspection identifies pipe condition and any fragile sections that need special care. We never jet damaged pipes that require repair first.
How often should I have my drains hydro jetted?
Frequency depends on your property type. Residential homes typically need hydro jetting only when severe blockages occur or every 2-3 years as preventative maintenance. Commercial kitchens and restaurants benefit from quarterly or biannual jetting to prevent grease buildup. Strata buildings should schedule annual or biannual jetting for shared drains. We provide personalised maintenance schedules based on your usage patterns and drain history.
Can hydro jetting damage my pipes?
When performed by qualified plumbers with proper equipment, hydro jetting is very safe. The key is using appropriate pressure for your pipe material and condition. This is why CCTV pre-inspection is essential—we identify fragile pipes, cracks, or deteriorated sections before jetting. If pipes are severely damaged, we recommend repair first, then hydro jetting. Our licensed plumbers have the training and experience to protect your drainage system.
How long does hydro jetting take?
Most residential hydro jetting services take 1-2 hours including CCTV pre-inspection, setup, multiple cleaning passes, and post-jetting verification. Simple blockages may clear in 30-45 minutes, while severe blockages with heavy buildup or tree roots may take 2-3 hours. Commercial properties and long drain runs can take 3-4 hours. We provide accurate time estimates after initial assessment.
Does hydro jetting work on tree roots?
Yes, hydro jetting is highly effective for tree root removal. We use specialised root-cutting nozzles with chain flails that slice through roots and high-pressure jets that flush them completely away. However, roots will eventually regrow through the same entry points. We strongly recommend pipe relining after root removal to seal joints and cracks, creating a smooth barrier that prevents future root intrusion for 50+ years.
How much does hydro jetting cost in Sydney?
Residential hydro jetting typically costs $300-$600 for standard properties (up to 30m of drain). Extended jobs (30-100m) range from $600-$1,500. Commercial kitchen grease removal costs $400-$900, and specialised root cutting ranges from $500-$1,200. Preventative maintenance programs offer discounted rates from $250-$500 per service. All prices include CCTV pre-inspection, multiple cleaning passes, and post-jetting verification. We provide upfront quotes before starting work.
Will hydro jetting remove all blockages?
Hydro jetting removes 99% of blockages including grease, roots, scale, sludge, and debris. However, some situations require different solutions: collapsed pipes need excavation and replacement, severe offset joints may need realignment, and solid objects lodged in drains might need manual removal first. Our CCTV inspection identifies what is blocking your drain so we can recommend the most effective solution—often hydro jetting combined with other services.
Do you offer same-day hydro jetting service?
Yes, Panther Plumbing Group provides same-day hydro jetting across all Sydney suburbs, with 24/7 emergency service for urgent blockages. Our trucks carry complete jetting equipment including various nozzles, CCTV cameras, and hoses up to 100m. Call us in the morning and we can typically have your drains flowing by afternoon. Emergency surcharges apply for after-hours, weekend, and public holiday callouts.
