High-Pressure Jetting

The most effective method for clearing a blocked drain — trailer-mounted jetter units that cut through any blockage and flush the pipe clean. Works on residential sewers, commercial kitchen drains, and large-bore stormwater systems.

First visit.

How It Works

A high-pressure water lance is fed into the pipe and jets the blockage loose, flushing it downstream. The rotating nozzle also cleans the pipe walls — removing grease, silt, and root fragments for a thorough clear, not just a temporary fix.

Medium & Large Jetters

Two jetter sizes on hand. The medium unit suits residential drains and smaller commercial systems. The large jetter handles big-bore commercial pipes, industrial drainage, and serious blockages. We bring the right one for your job.

Add a Camera — One Visit

If the drain keeps blocking, you need to know why. We run the jetter and the CCTV camera in the same visit — no second trip, no second call-out fee.

Find the Root Cause

After jetting the drain clear, a CCTV camera run shows what caused the blockage — cracked joint, root ingress, pipe sag, or damage. You get a written WinCan report with footage so you can plan a permanent fix, not just another jet-out.

Confirm It's Fully Clear

Post-jetting CCTV confirms nothing is left behind and the drain is running free. Common for commercial kitchens in Queenstown — plumbers and building managers need documented confirmation before signing off a blocked drain repair.

Common Causes in Queenstown

Queenstown has its own drain patterns — older town centre infrastructure, rapid development across the flats, and lots of hospitality.

Tree Roots

Older Queenstown Hill, Arrowtown, and Fernhill properties have mature trees alongside aging clay or concrete pipes. Roots enter through pipe joints and grow until the drain blocks. Jetting cuts the roots; CCTV shows you exactly where they're getting in.

Commercial Grease

Queenstown's hospitality sector generates constant grease buildup in kitchen drainage. Regular jetting keeps commercial drains clear and prevents emergency blockages mid-service. We work with restaurants, hotels, and commercial kitchens across the district.

Construction Debris

New subdivisions across Frankton Flats, Hanley's Farm, and Shotover Country generate silt, concrete, and rubble that finds its way into drainage. We work alongside civil contractors on stormwater and sewer cleaning during and after construction.

Aging Infrastructure

Parts of Queenstown's sewer network date back decades. Pipe sags, cracked joints, and displaced connections cause recurring blockages that jetting alone won't fix permanently. CCTV inspection identifies the structural problem so it can be properly repaired.
