When You Need Drain Jetting

⚠️

Recurring blockages that keep coming back

If you're getting the drain rodded every few months and it keeps blocking, there's a build-up of grease, scale, or roots that rodding can't fully clear. Jetting will clean the pipe properly and give you longer between blockages.

⚠️

Slow draining despite being rodded

If the drain's been rodded but still drains slowly, there's a partial obstruction or build-up on the pipe walls. Jetting will scour the inside of the pipe clean and restore full flow.

⚠️

Grease or fat build-up

Grease and cooking oil set solid in drains and catch everything else. Rods can poke a hole through it, but jetting will blast it off the pipe walls and flush it away completely.

⚠️

Tree roots in the drain

Tree roots form a tangled mass that rods can only partially clear. Jetting will cut through roots and flush them out. The roots will grow back eventually, but jetting gives you a year or two before the next clearance.

How Drain Jetting Works

1

Access the drain

We'll feed the jetting hose into the drain from a manhole, inspection chamber, or gully. The hose has a special nozzle that shoots high-pressure water forwards and backwards to blast through blockages and scour the pipe walls.

2

Jet the drain

We'll work the hose through the drain, blasting away grease, roots, scale, and debris. The water pressure is adjustable depending on the pipe material (lower for old clay, higher for plastic or cast iron).

3

Flush and test

Once we've jetted the full length of the blocked section, we'll flush it with clean water to wash away all the debris. We'll test it by running water from inside the house and checking it drains freely.

What Causes Stubborn Drain Blockages

Grease and fat solidified in pipes

Cooking oil, fat, and grease poured down kitchen sinks cool and set solid in the drain. Over months and years it builds up like plaque in an artery, narrowing the pipe until it blocks completely. Rods can poke a hole through it, but jetting blasts it off the walls and flushes it away.

Tree roots forming a mat

Tree roots get into cracked clay pipes through joints and cracks, then spread into a dense mat that catches everything. Rods can push through temporarily, but jetting cuts the roots and washes them out properly.

Compacted silt and debris

Years of silt, sand, and organic matter settle in drains with poor fall or dips in the pipe. It compacts into a solid mass that rods struggle with. Jetting blasts it loose and flushes it away.

Scale and mineral deposits

Swindon water is moderately hard, so limescale and mineral deposits build up on the inside of pipes over decades. Combined with soap scum and grease, it narrows the pipe bore. Jetting scours it off and restores full flow.
