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.

What We Can Clear in Wanaka

Blocked residential toilets and floor drains
Root intrusions in older Wanaka township sewer pipes
Lake-front baches and holiday homes — drains that sit dormant between visits and block on first use
Grease and fat buildup in commercial kitchen drainage — cafes, restaurants, hospitality
Silt and debris in stormwater systems — Northlake, Three Parks and other new subdivisions
Pre-inspection cleaning before CCTV camera surveys
Preventative maintenance jetting on commercial properties

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. Useful for landlords and property managers who need documented confirmation before signing off a job.

Common Causes in Wanaka

Wanaka has its own drain patterns — established lake-front gardens, holiday homes used on and off, and rapid new subdivision growth.

Tree Roots

Established gardens around the older parts of Wanaka and Albert Town 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.

Holiday Homes & Baches

Lake-front and lifestyle properties that sit empty between visits often block on the first flush of the season — debris settles, traps dry out, and grease solidifies. A jet-and-camera visit before guests arrive saves an awkward surprise.

New Subdivision Growth

Northlake, Three Parks and other growth areas generate silt, concrete, and rubble that finds its way into drainage during construction. We work alongside builders and civil contractors on stormwater and sewer cleaning during and after the build.

Aging Township Infrastructure

Parts of central Wanaka's sewer network are decades old. 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.
