Domestic drain jetting uses high-pressure water to clean and clear the pipes in your home. A jetting unit pumps water through a hose with a spinning nozzle, scouring grease, scale, and root bits from the pipe. Unlike chemical cleaners, jetting physically strips deposits away instead of just melting a channel through them, so it lasts longer. Since blockages often return, many homeowners book it yearly, especially if they've had trees or past blockages.
We check your access points and, where useful, run a brief camera check first. Since this shows the pipe's state, it tells us which areas need the most work.
We set up our jetting unit and feed the hose in through the best access point. While doing this, we pick the right nozzle and pressure for your pipe type.
The nozzle advances through the pipe, cleaning from the problem area back towards the access point. As it goes, the rotating jets scour the walls while flushing debris downstream.
We run water through the pipe to check full flow has returned. Since a final check helps put your mind at ease, we often add a camera check so you can see the difference.
The cost of domestic drain jetting depends on the pipe's length and how much buildup we need to clear. Routine upkeep jetting is far simpler than clearing years of neglect. However, request a fast, fixed-price quote online. We confirm the price before we start, with no call-out fee.
Yes, when a trained engineer handles it with care. We set the water pressure to suit your pipe type and state, using less for old clay pipes and more for modern plastic. Since safety comes first, a brief camera check beforehand confirms the pipe can take jetting safely.
For most homes, annual jetting keeps drains in good condition. However, properties with trees nearby, or ones prone to grease buildup, may benefit from jetting every six to twelve months. We suggest a suitable schedule based on what we find during the clean.
No, since all work goes through existing access points such as manholes, chambers, and gullies. We never need to dig or lift any surfaces. The jetting unit is compact and sets up easily on a driveway or garden without causing damage.
