Drain jetting sends water through a specialist nozzle at controlled pressure. The nozzle pulls the hose forward and directs water back against the blockage and pipe wall. This cleans more thoroughly than pushing a hole through the waste.

Cleaning a drain without guesswork

Different nozzles do different jobs. Some cut through soft blockages, while others wash grease and silt from the pipe wall. Root cutting and hard scale removal may need specialist attachments.

Jetting is not a repair. It can restore flow and reveal a hidden defect, but it cannot rebuild a cracked or collapsed pipe. Where damage is likely, CCTV evidence helps separate a cleaning job from a repair job.

Restaurants, cafés and food sites often benefit from planned jetting. Cleaning before a blockage helps reduce odours, slow flow and disruptive emergency call-outs.

A simple, evidence-led process

Check access and pipe condition

We choose a safe access point, nozzle and pressure for the drain.

Jet towards the obstruction

Controlled water breaks up deposits and moves waste to a point where it can be removed.

Flush and test

We check that the pipe runs freely and discuss camera work if the flow is still poor.

Frequently asked questions

Is jetting better than rodding?

It is often better for grease, silt and long runs. Rodding can still be useful for a simple local blockage.

Does drain jetting use chemicals?

The main cleaning force is water. Specialist treatments are only considered when suitable for the waste and drainage system.

Can you jet a commercial kitchen drain?

Yes, subject to safe access and site controls. Planned work can be arranged around quieter operating times.
