How Drain Jetting Works
Drain jetting uses high-pressure water to clear blocked or slow-running drains. Unlike traditional rodding, which relies on physical force to push or break the blockage, drain jetting uses pressurised water to blast through debris, grease and limescale. This process removes the immediate blockage and also thoroughly cleans the inside of the pipe, leaving it clear of residue and reducing the likelihood of future issues.
Drain jetting works by connecting a high-pressure water hose to a jetting machine, which forces water through a specialised nozzle at a very high speed. These nozzles direct the jets of water both forward and backwards. The forward-facing jets break apart blockages, while the rear-facing jets help to propel the nozzle through the pipe and flush debris back towards the drain exit so that it can be removed. Because of this dual action, drain jetting is ideal for tackling stubborn obstructions such as grease build-ups, tree root ingress, mineral deposits and accumulated silt.
Extending the Lifespan of Your Pipes
Drain jetting isn't just a quick solution for clearing stubborn blockages; it's also a proactive way of maintaining the long-term health of your drainage system. Drain jetting uses high-pressure water to deep-clean the inside of your pipes and clear away hidden build-ups and blockages. This regular cleaning process helps extend the lifespan of your pipes, making it a cost-effective investment for both homes and businesses.
One of the main reasons your drain pipes deteriorate over time is the gradual accumulation of grease, scale and mineral deposits along the pipe walls. These deposits can restrict your water flow and raise the pressure inside the system, which can cause cracks, leaks and bursts. Drain jetting prevents these issues by washing away these deposits before they can harden and cause long-term structural damage. Drain jetting reduces the risk of wear and tear in your pipes by keeping them clean and free-flowing.
Additionally, organic matter such as food, silt and tree root ingress can corrode or physically damage your drain pipes. High-pressure jetting can clear these materials and also disrupt their ability to regrow or accumulate again quickly. Tree roots can be broken down and flushed away, which prevents them from expanding and causing cracks, and bacterial build-ups and foul residues can also be eliminated during the process.
Reducing the Need for Repeat Callouts
When a drain becomes blocked, the main goal is to restore your water flow as quickly as possible. While traditional methods such as drain rods or chemical treatments can provide short-term relief, they often leave behind residue or only partially clear the blockage. This means that the problem is likely to reappear, which often results in repeat callouts and ongoing issues. However, drain jetting is a thorough and lasting solution.
Drain jetting uses high-pressure water jets to blast through blockages and clean the entire interior of the pipe. Unlike other methods that only push through the obstruction, jetting removes grease, silt, scale, and debris that cling to the pipe walls and restores the pipe to near-original condition. This deeper level of cleaning reduces the chances of repeat problems and prevents new blockages from quickly reforming.
Preventing Expensive Blockages
Blocked drains can quickly become an expensive problem if they're not dealt with properly. When debris, grease, or mineral deposits accumulate inside the pipes, they restrict your water flow and put pressure on the drainage system. If these blockages are left unresolved, they can cause issues such as flooding, pipe damage or even a complete system collapse.
Drain jetting uses high-pressure water jets to clean the entire internal surface of the pipe. Unlike rodding or chemical treatments, jetting completely removes any grease, scale or other build-ups inside the pipes. This deep cleaning restores the pipe to near-original condition, keeps your water flowing freely and reduces the chance of a blockage reforming within a short period of time. By tackling the root cause of the issue instead of just the symptoms, drain jetting reduces the likelihood of repeated and expensive drainage issues.
When blockages begin to form, they raise the internal pressure inside the pipes, which can eventually lead to cracks or bursts if they're not removed properly. By completely clearing your drains, drain jetting reduces the amount of strain on your system and protects the structure of the pipes, which removes the need for expensive replacements.
