What Is Hydro Jetting?
Hydro jetting is a professional drain cleaning method that uses a high-pressure water stream (up to 5,000 psi) to clean the inside of wastewater and stormwater lines.
Unlike plunging or basic snaking, hydro jetting:
Cleans the entire diameter of the pipe
Restores the pipe to near-new condition
Uses no harsh chemicals
Is safe for most pipe types when performed by trained technicians
If deeper issues are suspected, we follow up with a CCTV drain inspection to confirm the pipe is fully clear and identify any underlying faults.
When Do You Need Hydro Jetting?
Hydro jetting is ideal when you experience:
• Recurring or stubborn blockages — often resolved by our blocked drain specialists or a detailed CCTV drain inspection.
• Grease or fat build-up in kitchen pipes — best cleared using high-pressure hydro jetting service or targeted sink unblocking.
• Tree root intrusion in sewer or stormwater pipes — removed permanently with our specialist tree root cutting, supported by CCTV drain inspection.
• Sediment build-up in stormwater drains — often requires stormwater unblocking or a high-pressure hydro jetting service.
• Pre-purchase or pre-renovation drain cleaning — typically includes CCTV drain inspection, hydro jetting service, or underground service locating.

What problems can hydro jetting fix in Hawke’s Bay homes?
Is hydro jetting safe for old clay or earthenware pipes?
Yes — when handled by trained technicians. We assess the pipe condition as we begin, adjust the jetting pressure to suit the age and material of the line, and use the correct jetting heads to avoid unnecessary stress on fragile sections. This ensures effective cleaning while minimizing the risk of damage.
How is hydro jetting different from a standard plunger or drain snake?
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to fully clean the pipe walls, removing fats, roots, silt, and debris that cause ongoing blockages. A plunger or basic drain snake only punches a small hole through the obstruction, while hydro jetting clears the entire line and helps prevent the issue from returning.
How long does hydro jetting take?
Most domestic jetting jobs in Hawke’s Bay take around 30–60 minutes, depending on the severity of the blocked drain, the type of debris involved, and how easily we can access the pipe. Heavier root intrusions or longer runs may take additional time to ensure the line is properly cleared.
Do you offer hydro jetting for commercial drains in Napier and Hastings?
Yes. We provide hydro jetting for commercial drains in restaurants, cafés, rental blocks, workshops, factories, and other high-usage sites across Hawke’s Bay. Our equipment quickly breaks through grease, silt, and long-term build-up, making us the go-to team for fast and reliable drain unblocking in commercial settings.
Can hydro jetting remove tree roots?
Yes — when combined with mechanical root cutting equipment. We use specialized cutting heads to break through root intrusions, then follow up with additional jetting to flush out remaining debris and restore flow. This method is highly effective for clearing roots from sewer and stormwater lines.
Don’t let slow drains or repeat blockages interrupt your day.
Our high-pressure hydro jetting service clears the problem quickly, safely, and affordably.
