Drain Jetting Chisholm
Drain jetting in Chisholm blasts water at high pressure through choked sewer and stormwater pipes, stripping the grease, silt and root matting that a coil only pokes a hole through. The price is fixed before the hose goes down the drain, and the plumber in Chisholm carries the jetting unit on the van.

Why Does a Jetter Beat an Auger?
A steel coil punches one opening through the choke. The jetter cleans the full circumference of the pipe, and that difference shows on a young estate.
- Grease and fat coat the walls of kitchen and sewer lines, narrowing them long before they block. Water at pressure strips that layer off.
- Silt and fine sediment wash into joints on the downhill lots, and a jetter flushes the lot out rather than dragging a coil through it.
- Fine root hairs and matting inside the pipe get shredded and carried off, where a cutting head can leave fragments behind to regrow.
To see what is choking the pipe before the jetter goes in, a CCTV drain inspection puts it on the monitor first. The blocked drains hub explains how a clear is priced and checked.
How the Jetting Visit Runs
- 01
Ring or send the form
Call (02) 4915 2998 or use the form to explain the fault. We ask enough to bring the right equipment the first time.
- 02
A fixed price first
A plumber inspects the job and names a fixed figure up front. Nothing gets started until you give the go-ahead.
- 03
The line is flushed clean
The nozzle is fed to the far end of the choke, and its rear jets scour the walls while the hose is drawn back, carrying the debris out with it.
- 04
Covered for a year
Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work. If something we did isn't right, ring the same number.
A camera pass after the jetting confirms water is moving through the full length of pipe, and the recording is yours to watch.
What Shapes the Cost of a Jetting Job?
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
- Which line is being jetted Since a sewer run and a stormwater pit are different setups with different access.
- How far the hose has to reach Because a choke deep in the pipe means more hose, more time and more water.
- What the blockage is made of Since loose silt shifts quicker than a thick mat of roots that may need the tree root removal gear first.
- The hour Because nights and weekends are charged at the after-hours rate, named before the work starts.

What Customers Say
We talked through the options of our blocked kitchen sink drain (not just an s bend problem) and came to the perfect long term solution at a reasonable price.
When We're Not the Right Call
If the recording shows the choke is in the main beyond your connection, Hunter Water owns that pipe, and jetting it is their crew's job, not ours. And if the jetter opens the line but the camera finds a broken stretch of pipe, repeat jetting will not fix it; that becomes a repair, priced as one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is jetting safe for the pipes in a Waterford home?
Yes. The plumber sets the pressure and nozzle for the pipe size and material before the hose goes in. A water scour cleans the wall without scraping it, so a correctly set run leaves a young pipe in better shape than a steel coil would.
Does jetting remove tree roots in Chisholm, or just cut them?
It strips fine root matting out of the pipe, but a root that has grown through a joint will regrow from outside. Where the recording shows that entry point, root cutting and, for a damaged pipe, relining are the fixes that stop the repeat.
Do you jet stormwater pits as well as sewers?
We do. Yard gullies and stormwater runs on the estate collect soil and mulch washed off the higher lots, and the jetter flushes those out with the same hose and nozzles. Storm-specific faults such as fall and pit capacity are covered on the stormwater drains page.
How long does a jetted drain stay clear?
That depends on the cause. A grease or silt build-up flushed out properly can stay clear for years, while a dropped joint or root entry will choke again. Filming the pipe once it runs clear shows which one you have.
