Drain jetting: the fast and effective way to clear stubborn blockages

Drain jetting is one of the most powerful and reliable ways to clear blocked drains. Instead of using simple drain rods, we use a high-pressure water jet that cuts through stubborn blockages quickly and leaves the pipe much cleaner. It’s safe, efficient, and works on problems that rods can’t reach.

How drain jetting works

Our engineer carries professional jetting equipment on the van at all times. Once we arrive, the jetter can be set up within minutes. A long, flexible hose is fed into the drain and blasts out water at high pressure. This breaks down:

• Grease and fat
• Limescale and mineral build-up
• Silt and debris
• Food waste
• Small tree roots
• Anything else that’s restricting the flow

The hose is designed to travel deep into the pipework, even around bends, which means we can clear blockages far beyond the point you can reach with rods.

When drain jetting is needed

Jetting is ideal for a wide range of drainage issues, from simple household blockages to more stubborn problems outdoors. You might need jetting if:

• Your drains are repeatedly blocking
• Water is backing up in sinks, showers, or toilets
• You can smell foul odours around your property
• A manhole is overflowing
• You’ve tried unblocking methods that only work temporarily

High-pressure jetting is strong enough to clear most problems in a single visit, and it helps prevent blockages from returning.

Why jetting is more effective than rods

Rods can be useful for basic blockages close to the surface, but they have limitations. They can sometimes push the blockage further down the pipe, or they may not reach deep enough to fully clear it. Jetting, on the other hand:

• Breaks down blockages completely
• Cleans the inside of the pipe as it works
• Reaches further and handles bends with ease
• Removes build-up that rods can’t shift

Because jetting cleans the pipe walls as well as clearing the blockage, it helps reduce the chances of future problems.

What happens after jetting

Once the drain is cleared, we run a quick check to make sure everything is flowing properly. If the blockage was caused by something deeper, such as a damaged pipe or root intrusion, we’ll let you know and explain the next steps clearly.

Drain jetting is fast, effective, and one of the safest ways to get your drains running smoothly again without any mess or disruption.
