A standard drain snake (or electric eel) only punches a hole through a blockage. Hydro-Jetting is the only method that fully restores your pipes to their original, clean state by scouring the entire internal wall of the drain. At Your Choice Plumbers, we use powerful hydro pressure jet machines to eliminate blockages caused by grease, scale, sludge, and tree roots.

Expertise in Equipment: Precision Hoses for Every Pipe

Expertise in Equipment: Precision Hoses for Every Pipe

We match the hose size to the specific application, ensuring maximum power and pipe protection:

  • 1/4 Size Hose (Main Lines):This is our primary hose for cleaning standard 100mm pipes (including UPVC, Terracotta, and Cast Iron sewer lines). It is also used for clearing larger Stormwater Drains (DN150 – DN225), such as those connecting below-ground pits in driveways.
  • 1/8 Redflex Whip Hose (Branch Lines):This specialized, smaller diameter hose is used for clearing narrow or complex branch drains (such as 40mm basin waste pipes and 50mm kitchen waste pipes). The 1/8 size is essential for 90mm UPVC pipe systems, as it can travel further through the much sharper angle bends than the larger 1/4 hose.

The Power of 5000 PSI Cleaning

Our professional hydro-jetting equipment uses water pressured up to 5000 Psi (Pounds per Square Inch). We match the nozzle to the type of clog to guarantee results:

Specialized Nozzle Functions

  • Penetrating / Axe Head:Used to penetrate tight clogs and chop/tear initial root masses with sharp front edges, creating an opening for the main jet stream.
  • Invading / Thrusting:Features rear-facing jets that create powerful thrust, propelling the nozzle deep into the drain line to reach blockages far from the access point.
  • Rotating Nozzles:Uses jets angled to spin the nozzle head rapidly, scouring the entire internal circumference of the pipe wall to remove scale and hardened residue.
  • Root Cutting Head (The Specialist):The specialized head is essential for tackling the most common blocked drain cause in older Melbourne areas like Caulfield. This cutter is designed to aggressively slice and remove heavy, stubborn root masses found in old terracotta drains.
  • Reverse Flushing/Stormwater:Features powerful rear-facing jets optimized for flushing large volumes of silt and debris out of wide pipes, such as clearing a completely blocked street outlet (curb and channel) or stormwater lines.

Verification and Guarantee

We do not consider the job complete until the pipe walls are fully restored. Our process involves using the CCTV drain camera to visually inspect the pipe walls after jetting, guaranteeing the drain is running at maximum efficiency.

  • Targeting Roots:The CCTV visuals allow our plumbers to focus on specific drain sections affected by tree roots. We use a twisting of the hydro pressure hose technique to strategically position the tree root cutting head at different angles within the pipe. This ensures the roots are cut around the full diameter of the drain, not just a small channel.
  • Final Quality Check:We use the CCTV in conjunction with the high-pressure jet to confirm the drain is completely free from defects after the clearing. We provide the client with before-and-after footage on the CCTV monitor, so they can visually see the obstruction and confirm the clean result.
