High-Pressure Drain Jetting in Exeter
High-pressure water jetting clears blockages and cleans the bore of a drain that rodding cannot reach or fully clean. We use the appropriate nozzle and pressure for the pipe material — uPVC handles full pressure; older pitch-fibre and clay runs are jetted at reduced pressure to avoid damage. Jetting is also used as a maintenance wash on commercial kitchen grease lines and restaurant drainage.
What might high-pressure drain jetting cost?
This is a ballpark figure. We always agree the final price with you before we touch anything.
What high-pressure drain jetting typically involves
- Grease and fat blockage removal
- Silt and scale clearance in main runs
- Root mass clearance (combined with root cutting head)
- Commercial kitchen and grease trap drain maintenance
- Downpipe and gully jetting
What happens when we come out
- Assess the pipe material and blockage type before selecting nozzle and pressure
- Introduce the jetting hose to the access chamber
- Clear the blockage and flush the run to verify flow
- Follow with a CCTV check where a structural cause is suspected
Questions about High-Pressure Drain Jetting
Will high-pressure jetting damage my older clay pipes?
Clay pipes in good structural condition tolerate jetting well. Pitch-fibre pipes — common in 1950s to 1970s properties — are more susceptible to damage from full-pressure jetting and are treated at reduced pressure with an appropriate nozzle. If we are uncertain of the pipe condition, a CCTV check before jetting is the conservative approach.
Do you jet drains for restaurants and commercial kitchens?
Yes. Commercial kitchen drain lines accumulate grease that requires high-pressure clearing rather than rodding. We carry out reactive jetting and can arrange scheduled maintenance visits for businesses that need regular grease-line clearance to maintain flow and meet environmental health requirements.
