Frequently asked questions
Your drainage questions answered
What is high pressure water jetting?
High pressure water jetting is a drain cleaning method that uses powerful streams of water to clear blockages and clean the inside of pipes. It effectively removes tree roots, grease, sludge, and debris, restoring proper flow and helping to prevent future drainage problems.
What are underground pipe location services?
We use advanced locating equipment alongside CCTV drain inspections to pinpoint the exact position and depth of issues within your pipework. By tracking electromagnetic signals from the camera, we can accurately trace underground drains, removing the guesswork and significantly reducing the need for unnecessary excavation.
What are CCTV drain inspections?
A CCTV drain inspection involves inserting a specialised waterproof camera into your drains and pipes to identify the cause and location of drainage issues. This allows plumbers to accurately diagnose blockages, cracks, tree root intrusion, collapsed pipes, and other defects without the need for unnecessary excavation.
What areas do you service?
We service the greater Bendigo region and surrounding areas, covering locations within approximately a 100–150km radius.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency call-outs?
Yes. 24/7 emergency assistance is available for urgent drainage problems such as sewage backing up, an overflowing gully trap or stormwater flooding close to a building. Call 0494 434 413 at any time. For non-urgent work our office hours are Monday to Friday, 7am to 5pm, and you can request a booking online.
Do you work on commercial, industrial and rural properties?
Yes. As well as homes, we provide drain jetting, CCTV drain inspections and drain cleaning for commercial, industrial and rural properties across Bendigo and Central Victoria, including ongoing maintenance for drains that see heavy use.
Will you need to dig up my yard?
In many cases, no. High pressure jetting clears most blockages from existing access points, and a CCTV inspection combined with pipe locating shows exactly where any damage is. If a repair is needed, digging can be limited to the problem section rather than guesswork.
Can high pressure jetting damage my pipes?
Jetting is a safe and effective cleaning method for most sewer and stormwater pipes. Where a pipe is old, cracked or partly collapsed, we may recommend a CCTV inspection first so the right approach is used. Damage that already exists in a pipe can become apparent during cleaning, and we will explain anything we find before going further.
How can I tell if the blockage is in my sewer or my stormwater drain?
Sewer blockages usually show up inside: toilets gurgling or rising, sinks and showers draining slowly, or the overflow gully outside spilling. Stormwater blockages show up outside: overflowing gutters and downpipes, pooling water, or pits and grates that will not drain after rain. If you are not sure, we will diagnose it on site.
Are you licensed?
Yes. Central Vic Jetting Pty Ltd holds VBA Licence 50751, and our team brings over 40 years of combined plumbing and drainage experience to every job.
Do you work with property managers and real estate agents?
Yes. We provide drainage support for property managers and local sites as well as homeowners and businesses. Let us know access arrangements and tenant contact details when you request a booking and we will coordinate from there.
