Introduction

 

As homeowners, we tend to take our plumbing systems for granted until a problem arises, such as a blocked drain. Blocked drains can cause significant inconvenience, particularly when the water backs up into sinks and tubs. In some cases, it can lead to unpleasant odors and even water damage to your property. In such cases, it is essential to act fast and call a plumbing professional to get the problem fixed. At Melbourne Blocked Drains, we offer a range of services to solve your blocked drain problems, including the latest technique in drain cleaning - jetting plumbing.

​

What is Jetting Plumbing?

 

Jetting plumbing, also known as hydro jetting, is a process of cleaning drains using high-pressure water streams. A specialized machine with a high-pressure hose and nozzle is used to blast water into the pipes, dislodging any blockages and cleaning away any debris, leaving the pipes clean and clear.

​

How does Jetting Plumbing Work?

 

The process of jetting plumbing involves a few steps. First, the plumber will inspect the pipes using a camera to identify the blockage's location and type. Once identified, the plumber will use a hydro jetting machine to direct high-pressure water streams into the pipes. The water pressure can range from 1500 to 4000 PSI, depending on the severity of the blockage. The water streams are directed at various angles to ensure that all parts of the pipes are thoroughly cleaned.
