High-Pressure Drain Jetting in Crowborough
High-pressure drain jetting is a professional drain cleaning method that uses high-pressure water to clear blockages, grease, silt and root ingress from pipes, restoring full flow. It is typically needed when a drain is slow-running, recurrently blocking, smelling, or when a CCTV survey has identified a build-up that manual rodding cannot clear.

How Drain Jetting Works
Professional drain jetting clears blockages using controlled high-pressure water jets fed through the drainage system via a hose and nozzle.
1. Initial assessment — the drain is inspected to confirm access points and identify the likely cause of the blockage.
2. Equipment set-up — a jetting hose fitted with the appropriate nozzle is fed into the pipe from a suitable access point, such as a manhole or rodding eye.
3. High-pressure jetting — water is pumped through the hose at high pressure to break up and flush away blockages, grease, silt and debris.
4. Flow check and clean-up — the technician confirms water is flowing freely again and clears the work area, leaving the site tidy.
Jetting is carried out using professional equipment suited to the pipe size and blockage type, and this equipment reaches further and clears more thoroughly than manual rodding alone.
