Domestic drain jetting uses high-pressure water to clean and clear your drains. A jetting unit pumps water through a hose with a spinning nozzle, scouring grease, scale, root bits, and silt from the pipe walls. It works on clay, plastic, and cast iron pipes, with the pressure set to suit the pipe type. In contrast to chemical cleaners, jetting strips deposits off the walls, so results last longer. It uses only water, with no chemicals going into your drains. Many homeowners book jetting each year, especially after past blockages or with trees nearby, and a typical visit takes one to two hours.
We check your drainage access points, since this shows which areas need the most attention. Where helpful, we also run a brief CCTV check.
We position the jetting unit and feed the hose in through the best access point. Then we set the right nozzle and pressure for your pipe.
We move the jetting nozzle through the pipe, working back from the problem area. While it moves, loose debris flushes downstream.
We run water through the system to check full flow is back. We still run a final CCTV check on some visits, for clear before-and-after proof.
The cost of domestic drain jetting depends on the length of drainage and how much buildup we need to remove. Routine maintenance jetting for a standard home is usually the quickest job, while a first clean after years of buildup takes longer. Request a fixed-price quote online. We confirm the price before we start, and there's no call-out fee.
Yes, when a professional does the work. We set the water pressure to match your pipe — lower for old clay pipes, higher for modern plastic. A quick CCTV check first confirms the pipe is sound enough for jetting.
For most homes, yearly jetting keeps drains in good shape. If you have mature trees near your drains, or heavy grease buildup, jet every six to twelve months instead. We suggest the right schedule for you once we see the drains.
No. We do all the work through existing access points — manholes, inspection chambers, and gullies. We don't need to dig or lift any surfaces. Since the jetting unit is compact, it sits on your driveway or garden without causing damage.
