High-pressure jetting clears what rods alone can't shift.
Drain jetting uses high-pressure water fired through a specialist nozzle to cut through grease, scale, silt and root intrusion, and to flush the debris right along the pipe rather than just pushing it a bit further down. It's the right tool for a stubborn or recurring blockage that rodding hasn't fully solved.
It's also a good preventative option for a drain run that blocks regularly — a proper jetting clears the pipe back closer to its original diameter, rather than leaving a narrowed channel that blocks again within weeks.
Root ingress from Aigburth's tree-lined streets is one of the most common reasons we turn up with jetting equipment rather than just rods, and the longer drain runs at older villas around Woolton often need the same treatment. High-pressure jetting clears root masses and built-up debris that rodding alone won't shift.
Yes, when the pressure is matched to the pipe — we adjust it for the age and material of the pipework, which is exactly why we check with a camera first on anything we're not confident about.
Rods physically push through a blockage; jetting uses water pressure to cut and flush debris along the whole pipe wall, which generally leaves the pipe clearer for longer.
