Why Our Drain Cleaning Services Use A High-Pressure Water Jetter
Our Blocked Drain Cleaning Services
Drain cleaning services have come a long way over the past few decades. The plumbing industry has evolved and how we once tackled a drain blockage has changed. The latest technology and processes offer minimal disruption with a more cost-effective method. Sounds good, right? Our expert team thinks so too.
We're proud that the latest equipment, a high-pressure water Jetter is more environmentally friendly, more efficient and delivers a superior finish for a same-day drain cleaning service.
At Network Plumbing, we take the health and safety of our clients, plumbers and the community seriously. It's part of why our experienced technicians offer hydro jetting instead of any nasty chemicals, or outdated equipment like a drain snake... that can potentially damage your drainage systems.
Our qualified plumbers will be able to successfully clear and clean your drain problem away. From fully blocked drains to partial build ups of food waste and foreign objects... The water Jetter has your plumbing problems solved and we'll explain why.
Blocked Drains & The Draw Backs Of Using An Electric Eel
A drain cleaning service use to entail an electric eel... otherwise known as a drain snake. A drain snake for its time was an effective tool for handling a blocked drain. From its first inception in 1933, it was pretty revolutionary for clearing blocked drains. But times are a-changing. And we have changed with them. Our top 3 reasons why our blocked drain cleaning service has moved beyond the traditional drain snake are...
Dangerous
A drain snake is most effective in close proximity to the user. However, the further the snake travels away, the more challenging it is for the plumber to control.
Limited
The average length a drain snake can travel down your sewer drain or storm water pipe is 20m. Not very long when you consider the length of some plumbing systems.
Incomplete
A drain snake rarely fits the pipes in question perfectly. The span of the spinning steel cables that clear the blockages is restricted and can not expand to fit the diameter of the sewer drain perfectly. This can result in blocked drains being cleared ineffectively. Tree roots can remain in the drain, blockages may be pushed further down the drain or the drain is only partly cleared and not all cleaned.
Damage
With spinning steel cables and sometimes lack of control, no matter how professional the drain cleaners are... there is an increased chance of pipe damage to your drainage system. With a drain snake, your plumbing services will be subjected to steel cables spinning, banging, and thrusting. All this action can lead to damaged pipes, unfortunately. Your drain system is already under pressure with a blockage. Introducing a poorly controlled piece of equipment may comprise the sewer lines exacerbating the drain issues.
Water Jetting & Drain Cleaning
Drain cleaning with the correct equipment can ensure the process is an easy one. From the initial identification of the blocked drains to pinpointing the exact location of the drain blockage and then determining the exact cause...
Network Plumbing can service all facets of a blocked drain. When it's time to unblock drains, our water Jetter is ready for the cleaning process, it's a team player and knows how to uphold its side of the bargain.
The Power To Clear All Blocked Drains
Water is a powerful medium and one we use to our advantage when it comes to drain cleaning. Water at the correct pressure can cut through tree roots, grease and fat build-ups or any dirt, sand and so on. The power of breaking through the blockage and clearing a path within the drain is actually only part of the tale.
Power For Cleaning Drains
As part of the jetting process, the water from the nozzle will not just clear the blockage but wash away dirt and debris from every inch of the pipe. The Jetter will spray water, washing all pipe walls, leaving a sparkling inside surface behind. Drain cleaning at its best.
How Water Jetting Works?
When drain cleaning, a jetting nozzle is attached to the end of the hose, with the other end being connected to a pressure pump. Jetting nozzles have small precision machined orifices or jets to restrict water flow from the jetting pump thus causing pressure to build within the hose.
As the pressurised water is expelled from the nozzle jets it reverts from pressure to velocity (speed) creating thrust that allows the nozzle to pull the jetting hose. With the system pressurised, the Jetter hose coiled on a hydraulic powered hose reel (up to 150m) is released by the operator who controls the travel speed and distance of the nozzle up the drain pipe.
Pressurised water expelled from the nozzle jets clean the debris, and removes pipe blockages or roots from the inside of the pipe whilst traveling through the pipe. Optimum cleaning is achieved when the hose is being rewound onto the hydraulic reel. During this action, water from the nozzle jets effectively forms a curtain or wall of high-pressure water that forces (or rakes) the debris downstream.
Please note... sewer jetting technology can be applied to clear blocked drains in most sizes. If the pipes or drains are larger in diameters, our plumber will increase the appropriate amount of pressure to achieve exacting results. Pipe and drain maintenance can improve the quality of your pipes, reduce blocked drains and therefore reduce emergency blocked drains situations.
Benefits Of Using A Water Jetter For Drain Cleaning
We've talked about the drawbacks of traditional drain cleaning tools like a drain snake. We've marked up the pros and technical know-how of a water jetter. Now, it's time to list our top 3 reasons for choosing a Jetter as our main drain cleaning tool.
Efficiency
A water Jetter has speed on its side. With a Jetter, drain cleaning can be completed in less than a quarter of the time it might take a drain snake to clear the same blocked drain section.
Precision
A Jetter can travel up to 60m inside your drains and still retain its precision.
Thorough
A Jetter will clear and cut the blockages, but that's not all! Wait there's more... the water will span the diameter of drains or pipes ensuring a full wash down occurs. Leaving no outliers.
The drain cleaning game has been lifted. You can clear, cut and clean all while still protecting your drains and pipes. Blocked drains, be gone.
Do You Need Drain Cleaning Services For Your Sewer Drain?
Are you experiencing the telltale signs of a blocked drain? From your kitchen sink, shower drain, or toilet, a blocked drain can happen anywhere on your property. Each drain in your home will face different challenges. From your drains being used as bins to external structural damage caused to your underground pipes. Most pipes that are experiencing blockages will speak, quietly at first... then loudly. The key is to know the signs.
Blocked Drain Signs
- Slow to drain
- Gurgling sounds
- Wet patches in your yard
- Cracked driveways and pavers
- Usual smells or odours coming from your drains
- Changes in your toilet's flush

Drains Clean... Now What?

Now is the time to assess your pipes or drains. Check for any structural damage that might have occurred or find the initial reason behind the blocked drain. Our professional service won't just clear your drains and leave you to face the same scenario again further down the line. We innately believe great service is delivering all the information, empowering our clients to make an informed decision.
Whether it's your sewer drain or your stormwater pipes, blocked drains will be caused by something.
Are there tree roots that have caused the damage?
Is your plumbing system aging?
Has it seen better days and could not withstand the pressure caused by blocked drains?
Our plumbers will use a CCTV drain camera to check the structural integrity of the services. CCTV drain cameras will give a clear factual indication if there is any structural damage.
If there is damage and your pipes require repair, never fear. Network Plumbing is highly trained in pipe relining. We're Sydney's leading experts in pipe relining solutions. There are many benefits to pipe relining solutions, one major benefit is you won't have to dig trenches throughout your garden to repair the damaged pipe. Pipe relining will as the name suggests, reline your broken or damaged pipe with a woven liner that is impregnated with a 2-part epoxy resin. Once the epoxy resin is cured it's now structurally stronger than a PVC pipe.
If tree roots are the root cause, a relined pipe will be impervious to further root invasion, a perfect solution. To find out more about pipe relining as a solution for your damaged pipes.
