FAQs
What is high-pressure water jetting and how does it clear blocked drains?
High-pressure water jetting uses a specialised pump and hose to deliver water through a nozzle at pressures up to 4,000 psi. The focused jet scours the inner walls of the pipe, breaks up grease, scale, silt, and small tree roots, and flushes the debris out of the line. Because it relies solely on water, it leaves no chemical residue and restores the full internal diameter of the drain.
Is water jetting safe for my plumbing system and environmentally friendly?
Yes. Professional jetting equipment allows the technician to adjust pressure to suit the pipe material and condition, preventing damage to PVC, copper, clay, or cast-iron lines. Since the process uses only clean water—no acids or caustic chemicals—it is non-toxic and eco-friendly, making it safe for households with pets, children, or septic systems.
When should I choose water jetting over traditional drain snaking?
Snaking (cabling) is effective at punching a hole through a blockage but often leaves residue on pipe walls that can lead to re-clogging. Choose high-pressure jetting when you need a thorough cleaning—especially for heavy grease build-up, restaurant drains, commercial pipes, recurring blockages, or sewer lines affected by sludge or mineral scale. Jetting is also recommended after a camera inspection shows extensive debris along the pipe length.
Can water jetting remove tree roots from my sewer line in Newport?
Water jetting can cut and flush away small to medium roots infiltrating the pipe, especially when fitted with a root-cutting nozzle. For large or dense root masses, we may pair jetting with mechanical root cutting and then apply a root-inhibiting treatment. A post-jetting CCTV inspection confirms that the roots have been cleared and the pipe is intact.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency blockage in the Newport area?
Our Newport plumbing team is on call 24/7. For most suburbs we can arrive within 60–90 minutes of your call, traffic permitting. We carry jetting units on our service vehicles, so we can diagnose with a drain camera and perform jetting in the same visit, minimizing downtime and water damage risk.
What factors affect the cost of high-pressure water jetting and will I get a fixed quote?
Pricing depends on the drain’s location (kitchen, bathroom, main sewer), pipe diameter, length to be jetted, severity of the blockage, and whether additional services such as CCTV inspection or root treatment are required. After an on-site assessment we provide a transparent, fixed-price quote before work begins. There are no call-out fees for Newport residents during regular business hours, and we offer upfront rates for after-hours emergencies as well.
