High-Powered Drain Jetting

Why jetting instead of rodding

A drain rod can push through a blockage, but it often just moves the problem further along the line rather than clearing it. Jetting uses high-pressure water to actually strip the inside of the pipe clean — grease buildup, scale, silt, and root growth all get cut away, not just displaced.

This matters most for recurring blockages: if a drain keeps clogging in the same spot every few months, rodding alone usually isn't fixing the underlying cause.

What it clears

• Grease and fat build-up, common in kitchen waste lines
• Scale and mineral deposits narrowing the pipe over time
• Silt and debris in slow-draining outdoor drains
• Root ingress, where tree roots have entered through a joint or crack

How we decide it's needed

Where the cause of a blockage isn't obvious, we'll usually run a CCTV survey first to see exactly what's happening in the pipe, then jet accordingly rather than guessing. For straightforward blockages, jetting can often be carried out the same visit as the survey.
