High-pressure drain jetting is the most effective way to clear stubborn blockages and clean Southampton's often ageing pipe systems. Our specialist equipment delivers water at pressures up to 4,000 PSI, cutting through grease, scale, and debris while being gentle on pipe walls — essential for the city's mix of Victorian clay and modern plastic drainage.
We inspect your Southampton drainage system to determine pipe material, diameter, and condition. This ensures we select the correct jetting pressure and nozzle.
Where appropriate, a brief camera inspection confirms the location and nature of deposits so jetting effort is directed precisely where it is needed.
Our specialist jetting unit delivers water at pressures up to 4,000 PSI through a rotating nozzle, scouring the pipe walls clean and flushing debris towards the sewer.
A final camera pass confirms the pipe is clear. We compare before-and-after footage so you can see the improvement, and advise on a suitable maintenance interval.
Our jetting equipment is carefully inserted into your drainage system, with the water pressure adjusted to suit your pipe type and condition. The rotating nozzle scours the pipe walls clean while flushing debris towards the Southern Water sewer connection.
Local tip: Southampton's chalk-influenced water supply contributes to mineral scale buildup in pipes. Regular jetting every 12-18 months keeps systems flowing freely, particularly in areas with older clay drainage.
Yes, when carried out by qualified engineers. We adjust water pressure to suit the pipe material and condition — lower pressures for older clay pipes common in Southampton, higher pressures for modern plastic systems. A brief CCTV check beforehand confirms the pipe can safely be jetted.
Drain jetting in Southampton typically costs between £100 and £250 depending on the length of pipe and severity of deposits. We confirm the price before starting. Regular maintenance jetting is usually at the lower end of this range.
For most Southampton residential properties, jetting every 12 to 18 months keeps drainage flowing freely. Properties with mature trees nearby, or commercial kitchens producing grease, may benefit from more frequent cleaning — typically every 6 to 12 months.
