Drain Jetting drainage service

Drain Jetting

High-pressure water jetting to clear and clean drains.

  • Vetted contractors
  • Fully insured
  • Commercial & site work specialists

Teams commission drain jetting when they need dependable performance, evidence-led decisions, and a delivery plan that fits real access and sequencing constraints.

Our drain jetting service uses high-pressure water jets at up to 4,000 PSI to blast away blockages, grease, scale, and debris from inside your pipes. It's the most effective method for restoring full flow to blocked or slow-running drains, and leaves pipes cleaner than any other method. Ideal for both preventative maintenance and emergency unblocking.

Operational pressure or tight sequencing often makes a generic fix too risky; structured scope and delivery reduce that exposure.

Professional drain jetting uses water at 3,000–4,000 PSI — far more powerful than consumer equipment and effective on all blockage types.
Is drain jetting safe for old pipes?
Yes, when carried out by qualified engineers who assess pipe condition first. We always check with CCTV before jetting damaged pipes.
How often should drains be jetted?
For most residential properties, every 1–2 years as preventative maintenance. Commercial kitchens may need quarterly jetting.
What practical factors should be reviewed first?
Review drain condition, access to runs, and whether related repair work is needed early to keep scope realistic and avoid unnecessary rework.
