Blocked drains are a common issue in homes and businesses across Stellenbosch, Cape Town, and the surrounding areas, often caused by sand, grease, tree roots, and years of buildup in older plumbing systems. When your drains slow down or back up, you need more than just a temporary fix. That’s where hydro jet drain cleaning comes in.

What Is Hydro Jetting?


Hydro jetting is a high-pressure drain cleaning method that uses powerful streams of water — up to 4,000 PSI — to blast away blockages, buildup, and debris from inside your pipes. It’s safe, efficient, and far more thorough than traditional snaking or chemical treatments.

At PlumbGuarantee, we use advanced hydro jetting equipment to clean your plumbing system from the inside out, restoring full flow and preventing future problems.


Why Hydro Jetting Works So Well in the Western Cape


In areas like Stellenbosch, Somerset West, Durbanville, and Cape Town's Southern Suburbs, older homes and complex underground plumbing can make recurring drain problems a real headache. Our hydro jetting service is perfect for:


  • Grease buildup in kitchen lines

  • Sand and silt buildup in garden drains

  • Recurring blockages in older properties

  • Roots intruding into sewer lines

  • Commercial kitchens and hospitality properties

  • Slow or smelly drains that don’t clear with snaking


We also serve wine farms, guesthouses, restaurants, and large properties throughout the Cape Winelands where traditional clearing methods don’t go deep enough.


Key Benefits of Hydro Jet Drain Cleaning


  • Powerful and thorough – Hydro jetting completely scrubs the inside of the pipes, not just the blockage itself

  • Eco-friendly – No harmful chemicals, just pure water under pressure

  • Long-term results – Helps prevent future clogs by removing all buildup and residue

  • Cost-effective for businesses – Especially beneficial for high-traffic establishments like cafés, hotels, and wine estates

  • Safe for most plumbing – Ideal for PVC, copper, and newer piping materials (older pipes are assessed beforehand)


Do You Need a Drain Camera Inspection First?


Yes. Before any hydro jetting job, our team performs a CCTV drain inspection to assess the pipe’s condition. This is especially important in older homes in Stellenbosch, Rondebosch, or Sea Point, where old cast iron or clay pipes might be vulnerable to high-pressure water.


This inspection allows us to:


  • Confirm the cause of the blockage

  • Check for cracks or weaknesses

  • Recommend the safest and most effective cleaning approach
