Before you book
Questions people ask
Is jetting better than an electric eel?
Jetting usually cleans more of the pipe wall. Mechanical equipment can still be useful for certain obstructions and fragile pipe conditions.
Can regular cleaning stop repeat blockages?
It can reduce build-up and catch early warning signs, especially on grease-heavy kitchens, strata lines, and stormwater pits with leaf load.
