At Contemporary Plumbing, we’ve been unblocking drains in Tuggeranong and across Canberra for years. One of the most efficient tools we use for this is Jet Rodding. Jet rodding is the go-to solution if you’ve got a stubborn blockage in your drains, whether it’s from tree roots, debris, or grease build-up. Here’s everything you need to know about how it works and why it’s so effective.
What Is Jet Rodding?
Jet Rodding, also known as water jetting or high-pressure water blasting, is a method that uses water pressure to clear blockages from drains and pipes. Unlike traditional drain cleaning methods that rely on mechanical tools like snakes or augers, jet rodding uses the force of high-pressure water to break through even the toughest obstructions. This high-pressure water can cut through tree roots, grease, and debris more effectively than traditional tools, making jet rodding a faster and more efficient solution.
How Does Jet Rodding Work?
We use a specially designed machine that pumps water through a flexible hose fitted with a nozzle. Depending on the job, the nozzle releases a stream of water at incredibly high pressure, up to 5000 psi or more. As the hose moves through the drain, the force of the water cuts through blockages, pushing debris away and scouring the pipe walls clean.
Here’s a breakdown of how the process works:
Assessment
We start by assessing your drain issue, often using CCTV cameras to pinpoint the exact location and cause of the blockage.
Jet Rodding Begins
Once the blockage is identified, we insert the jet rodder’s hose into the drain. The high-pressure water shoots out, dislodging anything from tree roots to solid grease clogs.
Complete Pipe Cleaning
Jet rodding not only removes the immediate blockage but also provides a thorough cleaning of the inside of your pipes. This comprehensive approach is particularly beneficial in older homes around Tuggeranong, where grease, scale, and debris tend to build up over time.
Final Inspection
After clearing the blockage, we’ll perform a final check with a camera to ensure your pipes are clean and clear.
Why Is Jet Rodding Ideal for Tuggeranong?
In Tuggeranong and other established Canberra suburbs, tree roots are a common cause of blocked drains. The region’s older homes often have older pipe systems that are more prone to blockages from roots and debris. Jet rodding is incredibly effective in cutting through these roots without damaging your pipes.
Another key advantage is that jet rodding works on all types of drains, from small residential pipes to large commercial ones. Whether it’s your kitchen sink, bathroom drains, or outdoor stormwater systems, we can handle it.
Benefits of Jet Rodding
- Effective on tough blockages: Whether it’s tree roots or hardened grease, jet rodding blasts through blockages that other methods struggle with.
- Environmentally friendly: Jet rodding uses just water—no harsh chemicals—making it safe for your home and the environment.
- Prevents future blockages: The high-pressure water not only clears the immediate issue but also cleans your pipes, reducing the risk of future blockages.
- Safe for pipes: Unlike some mechanical methods that can damage older or fragile pipes, jet rodding is gentle on your plumbing.
