High-Pressure Drain Jetting (Domestic)
High-pressure drain jetting clears stubborn domestic blockages by flushing pipes with a controlled, powerful flow of water. It is ideal when sinks, toilets or outside drains are slow to empty, backing up, overflowing or causing unpleasant odours, and you want a thorough clean rather than a temporary fix.
More information
What high-pressure drain jetting covers
A practical, domestic-focused service designed to restore normal drainage and help prevent repeat blockages.
- Locate the likely blockage area based on symptoms and drain layout
- Clear built-up debris such as grease, soap, silt, food waste and scale
- Flush through the line to remove residual build-up, not just punch a hole through it
- Check that water is running freely after clearing
- Flag signs of underlying issues (for example damaged pipework or root ingress) and explain next steps
When this service is most useful
Drain jetting is often the right choice when:
- Plunging or chemical cleaners have not worked, or the blockage keeps coming back
- Multiple fixtures are affected (for example downstairs toilet and bath)
- There are gurgling sounds, bad smells, or water backing up
- Outside gullies overflow during normal use or light rainfall
What to expect on the day
The visit typically starts with a few checks to confirm the symptoms, access points and safest way to work. Jetting equipment is then set up and the pipe is cleaned using the right pressure and nozzle for the type of drain and blockage. Once cleared, the drain is tested to confirm normal flow and you are talked through what was found and what will help avoid a repeat.
Aftercare and ongoing value
You will get clear guidance on likely causes and simple preventative steps, such as what not to put down the sink and how to manage grease. If there are signs the blockage was caused by a structural issue, you will be advised on suitable follow-on options, such as inspection or targeted repair, so you can fix the cause rather than keep treating the symptom.
