HIGH-PRESSURE DRAIN JETTING

When a drain’s blocked, high-pressure water jetting is the fastest and most effective way to clear it, no chemicals, no excavation, no guesswork. We also use it as part of planned maintenance schedules to stop blockages happening in the first place.

We predominantly cover North Wales, Cheshire, Shropshire & Herefordshire.

WHEN YOU’D USE DRAIN JETTING

Slow-running or blocked drains, sinks and gullies.
Grease build-up in commercial kitchen drainage.
Tree root ingress restricting flow.
Silt and debris build-up in gullies and culverts.
Preparing a drain run for a CCTV survey.
Planned preventative maintenance to reduce the risk of future blockages.

WHAT IS DRAIN JETTING?

Drain jetting (also called high-pressure water jetting or hydro jetting) uses a powerful, focused jet of water fed through the drain to break down and flush away whatever’s causing the blockage. It works on grease, silt, scale, tree roots and general debris build-up, restoring full flow without the need to dig anything up.

It’s a technique we use both reactively, to clear an existing blockage, and proactively, as part of a planned maintenance schedule to keep drainage systems running clear.

DOMESTIC, COMMERCIAL & PLANNED MAINTENANCE

We provide drain jetting to domestic, commercial, agricultural and industrial clients, from a one-off blocked drain at a house, to scheduled jetting for a holiday park, restaurant or site with recurring drainage demands. We also offer service plans for clients who want jetting and drainage maintenance on a regular, set-fee basis rather than dealing with it as one-off emergencies.

OUR EQUIPMENT & METHODS

We choose the right equipment for the job rather than using one approach for everything:

Jet vac tankers – combination units that jet and vacuum in one pass, ideal for gullies, culverts, silt traps and larger or more heavily blocked systems where debris needs removing as well as flushing through.
Van jet packs – smaller, mobile jetting units for easier-access domestic and light commercial jobs where a full tanker isn’t needed.

Most jobs are cleared with jetting alone, but where a blockage also needs debris removed rather than just flushed through, our jet vac tankers handle both in one visit.

OUR PROCESS

Assess – We identify access points and get a sense of what’s likely causing the blockage.
Jet – High-pressure water is fed through the drain to break down and clear the obstruction. We can also use vacuum tanks to remove debris and silt in drains and clear them that way.
Check – Where needed, we can follow up with a CCTV survey to confirm the drain is fully clear and check for any underlying damage.
Advise – If jetting reveals a structural issue that needs more than a clean — a crack, collapse or root damage, we’ll talk you through the options and can quote for the repair directly.

WHY CHOOSE SMIP

Fast, reliable response – We get to blockages quickly and clear them efficiently.
No harsh chemicals – Water jetting clears blockages mechanically, without chemical drain cleaners.
One team for jetting and repair – If jetting uncovers a bigger problem, we can quote for CCTV survey, repair, lining or replacement, no need for a second contractor.
Fully insured – Covered for all work types we carry out.
Local coverage – Based on the Wales/England border, covering Wales and the border counties as standard, with further travel where required.

DRAIN JETTING FAQs

Will drain jetting damage my pipes?

No, properly carried out by a trained team, high-pressure jetting is safe for standard drainage pipework and is one of the least invasive ways to clear a blockage.

Do you still use rodding, or only jetting?

We use whichever method suits the job. Jetting for most blockages, and rodding where access is too tight for jetting equipment or the blockage is straightforward enough not to need it.

Can drain jetting fix a collapsed or cracked drain?

No, jetting clears blockages, but it won’t repair structural damage. If we find a crack, collapse or other structural issue, we’ll advise on repair options, which may include lining, patching or replacement.

Do you offer emergency drain jetting?

Yes. Get in touch and we’ll do our best to get to you quickly, call the office team to discuss urgency and timing.

Can I set up a regular jetting schedule instead of calling each time there’s a problem?

Yes, we offer service plans for planned, scheduled drainage maintenance so you’re not just reacting to blockages as they happen.

What areas do you cover?

We predominantly cover Wales, Cheshire, Shropshire & Herefordshire, and will travel further afield where required.
