High-pressure drain jetting is a powerful cleaning method that uses a highly focused stream of water, delivered at high pressure, to clear blockages in your drainage system. It’s particularly effective when dealing with stubborn obstructions such as grease build-up, solidified fat, hair, and other debris that traditional drain rodding might struggle to remove completely. If you've experienced recurring blockages, or if you know you have a build-up of grease and other tough substances, high-pressure jetting could be the ideal solution.

Essentially, a specialised nozzle is attached to a high-pressure hose and is then carefully inserted into your drain or sewer pipe. The water is then released at extremely high pressure – often thousands of PSI (pounds per square inch). This intense water pressure blasts away the blockage, breaking it down and flushing it out of the pipe. Some nozzles are designed to direct the water stream at multiple angles, ensuring a thorough clean of the entire pipe circumference.

When carried out by experienced professionals, high-pressure drain jetting is generally a safe and effective method for cleaning drains. At Wilsons Plumbing & Drainage, our engineers are trained to assess the condition of your pipes and adjust the water pressure accordingly. We always take precautions to avoid damaging older or more fragile pipework. That said, it’s crucial to hire a reputable company with the right equipment and expertise to minimise any risk.

We use professional-grade, high-pressure jetting equipment that is specifically designed for drain cleaning. This includes a powerful pump, a long and flexible high-pressure hose, and a variety of nozzles to suit different types of blockages and pipe sizes. Our jetters are capable of delivering water at pressures up to 4500 PSI, ensuring even the most stubborn blockages are dislodged.

Drain rods are a manual method of breaking up blockages. While they can be effective for simple obstructions close to the drain opening, they might not be able to reach or completely clear more distant or complex blockages. High-pressure drain jetting, on the other hand, uses the force of water to blast away the blockage and clean the entire pipe, often providing a more thorough and longer-lasting solution. Jetting can also remove grease and grime build-up that rods simply push aside.

Yes, absolutely! High-pressure drain jetting is exceptionally effective at removing grease and fat build-up in kitchen drains. The hot water and high pressure combine to emulsify and flush away the grease, leaving your drains clean and free-flowing. Regular jetting can help prevent future blockages caused by grease accumulation.

While high-pressure jetting can sometimes cut through small tree roots that have infiltrated your sewer line, it's typically not a long-term solution for significant root intrusion. For serious root problems, we may recommend other methods such as mechanical root cutting or, in some cases, pipe replacement. We would need to assess the extent of the problem to advise on the best course of action.
