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.

High-Pressure Drain Jetting — questions answered
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.
