HYDRO JETTING
When drains back up in the middle of a Hobart summer, you need more than a plunger. Hydro jetting uses high‑pressure water to cut through roots, grease and built‑up debris, restoring full flow to sewer and stormwater lines in homes, businesses and industrial sites across Southern Tasmania.
What is hydro jetting?
Hydro jetting is a drain‑cleaning method that uses a high‑pressure hose and specialised nozzles to blast water along the pipe, scouring the internal walls clean.
Unlike basic electric drain machines that only punch a hole through the blockage, hydro jetting removes grease, silt, scale and tree roots from the full pipe diameter, helping prevent the same problem coming back.
Benefits of hydro jetting with Murtec
-
Thorough clean, fewer call‑backs: High‑pressure jets clear sludge, roots and mineral buildup so drains stay clear for longer than with basic snaking
-
Safe and environmentally friendly: Hydro jetting uses only water, avoiding harsh chemical drain cleaners that can damage pipes and the environment
-
Ideal for difficult Hobart drains: Long runs, multiple bends and older clay or earthenware lines common in Hobart benefit from the cutting and flushing action of jetting
-
CCTV inspection included: Murtec can pair hydro jetting with CCTV cameras to confirm the pipe is clean, locate cracks or sags and provide evidence for insurers or asset records
When to book hydro jetting
-
Recurring blocked toilets, showers or kitchen wastes despite previous clearing.
-
Gurgling fixtures, slow yard drains or overflow during heavy rain in Hobart’s storm events.
-
Pre‑summer and pre‑sale drainage checks, especially for older properties or those with large trees near sewer or stormwater lines
