What Is Drain Jetting?

It's easy to forget when you're stepping into the shower or going for a dip in the pool, but water can be an incredibly powerful force – at a high enough pressure, it can even cut through steel!

That's what makes drain jetting such an effective method for clearing blocked drains. The process involves using a concentrated, high-pressure stream of water to remove debris, sediment, grease, tree roots, and other obstructions. The water pressures can range from 1,500 to over 4,000 pounds per square inch (psi), making it excellent at clearing away even the most stubborn blockages.

This process leaves your drains clean and unobstructed, allowing water to flow freely – without resorting to harsh and environmentally harmful chemicals.

How Does Drain Jetting Work?

During drain jetting, the high-pressure water jet is inserted into the blocked drain or pipe. The water stream is activated and travels through the system, scouring the inner walls while dislodging and breaking up the accumulated material. The debris is then flushed away through the drainage system.

Drain jetting might seem simple, but it’s not as easy as hitting the ‘spray’ button! The jets used are extremely powerful, so there's a risk of damaging the pipes or compromising safety if used by untrained hands. That’s why you should always let the professionals handle the task for you – they’ll have the skills, experience, and equipment to carry it out safely and effectively.

Our High-Pressure Drain Jetting Process

Wondering how we'll go about clearing your drains? Read on for our step-by-step breakdown!

1. Once you contact us, we'll begin by surveying your pipes to identify the cause of the blockage. This will help us determine the most suitable approach to clear it.
2. If we decide that drain jetting is the best solution, we'll offer you a fixed rate quote. If you're happy with it, we'll schedule a time that works for you. In urgent cases, our 24/7 emergency service allows us to start work within a few hours.
3. To prevent unintentional damage, we'll clear the area before proceeding. Then, we'll carefully insert the high-pressure jetting hose into the drain or sewer line through the access point, selecting the appropriate nozzle for the job.
4. With the jetting machine activated, we'll gradually increase the pressure to the right level based on the drain's material and the severity of the blockage. The high-pressure water will effectively break up the clog and wash away debris and buildup from the pipe walls.
5. We follow a systematic approach, making sure the entire length of the drain is covered. We'll adjust the angle and direction of the nozzle accordingly.
6. Our team will continue jetting the drain until the water runs clear, indicating that the blockage has been completely cleared, and the pipe is now clean.
7. Upon completing the drain jetting process, we'll verify that the blockage is entirely gone and that the drain is free from any obstructions. After that, we'll retract the jetting hose and clean the work area.
