Buildup on the pipe wall
Grease, roots and scale
Grease clings to the pipe wall, tree roots work through joints, and mineral scale narrows the pipe over months.

Why does my drain keep blocking?
A drain that blocks again a few weeks after you've had it cleared usually has a buildup problem, not a one-off blockage.
Why snaking falls short
A channel, not a clean pipe
A drain snake or auger can punch through the middle of that buildup and get water flowing again, but it leaves the walls of the pipe coated. The next grease pour or root growth spurt blocks it straight back up. Plumbed Right runs a CCTV drain camera before jetting to confirm the exact blockage location, so the jetting hose goes where the problem actually is instead of guessing at the whole line.
CCTV drain camera inspectionHow hydro jetting works
Water at high pressure, aimed back down the pipe as the hose feeds forward.
-
Camera
We run the CCTV drain camera first to confirm the exact blockage location.
-
Jet
Our jetting machine forces water through a specialised nozzle at high pressure, directing it back down the pipe as the hose feeds forward.
-
Scour
The reverse-facing jets cut through the blockage and scour grease, roots, and scale off the pipe wall on the way through.
-
Flush
We flush the line clean rather than leaving a narrow channel through the debris.
Jetting or snaking
Hydro jetting vs mechanical snaking
Hydro jetting is the right tool when a drain has blocked more than once, when grease is the suspected cause, or when a CCTV inspection shows root intrusion or scale buildup along the pipe.
| Hydro jetting | Mechanical snaking | |
|---|---|---|
| Clears the blockage | Yes Yes | Yes Yes |
| Cleans the full pipe wall | Yes Yes | No No, punches a channel only |
| Best for | Yes Grease, scale, root mats, recurring blockages | Yes A single, soft, localised clog |
| Typical result | Yes Full flow restored, buildup removed | No Flow restored short-term |
For a single soft blockage close to a fixture, a standard auger clear is often enough, and we'll tell you which applies once we've seen the line. For root damage severe enough to have deformed the pipe, we may recommend the IMS Robotic Cutter ahead of jetting.

Cost and time
How much does hydro jet drain cleaning cost in Perth?
The price depends on blockage severity, how far in it sits, and access. We confirm the exact price on site before starting, with no call-out fee to quote.
How long does a hydro jetting job take?
We'll give you a time estimate once we've assessed the line.
Do you need to dig up my yard to jet a drain?
No. The hose feeds through an existing access point such as a drain inspection opening or a cleared fixture. No excavation is required for a standard jetting job.
Is it right for my drain
Is hydro jetting safe for older pipes?
We run a CCTV camera first to check the pipe's condition. Jetting is safe for most pipe materials at the correct pressure setting; if the camera shows a fragile or badly cracked pipe, we'll recommend relining before jetting instead.
What's the difference between hydro jetting and drain snaking?
Snaking punches a channel through a blockage and restores flow quickly. Jetting scours the entire pipe wall clean, removing the grease, roots, or scale that caused the blockage, which is why it holds up longer against repeat clogs.
Can hydro jetting clear tree roots from my sewer line?
Jetting removes fine root growth and buildup effectively. For thick, mature root mats that have deformed the pipe, we typically use the IMS Robotic Cutter first, then jet the line clean. More on tree root drain blockages.
