When it comes to getting your drains clean, high-pressure water jetting is a proven and effective method for quickly and effectively removing difficult blockages.

This type of water jetting uses powerful jets of water to break through and remove even the toughest build-ups in your drainage system. Not only is high-pressure water jetting fast, efficient and cost-effective as a solution, it’s also a sustainable option for keeping your drains flowing.

What is High-Pressure Water Jetting?

High pressure water jetting focuses blasts of highly compressed, concentrated and pressurised water through a nozzle to remove blockages and clean out drains. It can cut through almost anything, breaking down build-ups of all kinds:

  • Silt and soil
  • Rotting vegetation
  • Debris
  • Kitchen grease
  • Building rubbish (eg concrete and rubble)

From our experience we’ve found that a high-pressure water jet can even cut through invasive tree roots.

Once it’s blasted loose, the material can then be removed from the drain by suction pump if necessary.

The many advantages of High-Pressure Water Jetting

As well as being a fast and effective way of cleaning and removing even stubborn blockages inside pipes of varying diameters, high-pressure water jetting has several other advantages.

Units are very portable and can come with their own water supply; they can be mounted on vehicles of different sizes so they can be deployed wherever there’s a problem.

High-pressure water jetting is non-invasive, reducing disruption while work is carried out, and it’s sustainable. The method cuts down on the volume of water needed and is eco-friendly, in that it reduces the need for such high concentrations of chemical cleaners

A fleet of high-pressure water units to tackle any job

A key factor in Drain & Sewer Services’ ongoing success in the industrial cleaning market is our capability to provide the precise equipment and manpower needed to meet our customers’ specific requirements, thanks to our comprehensive in-house fleet of vehicles.

We’ve invested in a fleet of some of the most powerful and versatile truck mounted units available on the market, fitted with powered hose reels and their own independent source of water in tanks with a storage capacity ranging from 500 to 3000 gallons depending on the size of the job. This means our teams can stay on site until the job is done without having to refill their tanks.

Our large, lorry-mounted Combination Units are versatile enough for all kinds of jobs. They feature a jetting unit that can clean your septic tank while it’s being emptied, effectively breaking up any hard crust that has formed inside

As well as our large lorry jetting units and tankers, Drain and Sewer Services offer a variety of other units depending on the specific task it may be required for, such as our rapidly towed Jetting Unit for smaller, emergency tasks.
