Drain Jetting – The Solution for Blocked Drains in London

When you’re faced with a blocked drain in your London property, slow-draining water is just the start. It can quickly lead to unpleasant odours, overflowing gullies, and unhygienic back-ups. While rods and chemicals offer a temporary fix, they often leave behind the residue that caused the problem.

For a truly effective solution, you need the comprehensive cleaning power of High-Pressure Water Jetting (HPWJ) from the experts at Drain247.

Our specialist van-pack jetting units generate precisely controlled streams of water powerful enough to obliterate any obstruction. This process doesn’t just poke a hole in a blockage; it scours the entire internal pipe wall, removing grease, scale, and debris. The result is a completely clear drain with its full flow capacity restored.

Drain Jetting vs. Other Methods: Why Jetting is Superior

While other methods exist, their limitations make high-pressure water jetting the only truly effective, long-term solution for blocked drains. Here’s how they stack up.

Method 1: High-Pressure Jetting (The Professional Solution)

  • Effectiveness: Completely removes blockages and thoroughly cleans the entire pipe wall.
  • Long-Term Results: Excellent. By removing the build-up of grease and scale, it prevents recurring problems.
  • Reach & Safety: Safely navigates bends and cleans over 100 metres of pipework without damaging it.

Method 2: Drain Rods (The Traditional Approach)

  • Effectiveness: Only pokes a hole through the blockage, often leaving debris behind.
  • Long-Term Results: Poor. Blockages typically reform quickly as the underlying cause isn’t removed.
  • Reach & Safety: Has limited reach, struggles with bends, and risks scraping or breaking pipes.

Method 3: Chemical Cleaners (The DIY Risk)

  • Effectiveness: Has a very limited effect on solid blockages and doesn’t clean the pipe walls.
  • Long-Term Results: Poor. Fails to remove hardened scale or grease build-up.
  • Reach & Safety: Has minimal reach and can cause damage to pipes and seals over time.

Our Drain Jetting Process: A Step-by-Step Guide

Our approach is methodical, prioritising safety and effectiveness for every job in London and the South East.

  1. Site Assessment & Safety Check: Our engineer assesses the situation, identifies the best access point, and establishes a safe working area.

  2. Controlled Jetting: The correct specialist nozzle is fitted, and the hose is inserted into the drain. The rear-facing jets pull the hose deep into the pipework.

  3. Obliterating the Blockage: The engineer manipulates the hose, allowing the powerful water jets to break down, emulsify, and flush away the entire obstruction.

  4. System Flush & Verification: We flush the system to ensure all debris is gone and the drain flows freely. We may recommend a post-jetting CCTV survey to inspect the pipe’s condition.
