Jetting cleans pipes by water alone. It clears grease, silt and roots without digging. In Malpas, it suits older town pipes and long rural runs alike.
Before you book, it helps to know what to expect. For example, our guides on how drain jetting compares with drain rods and how to stop kitchen drains blocking explain the basics. You can also read about drainage across Malpas, or learn more about our drain jetting service.
First, we look at your Malpas drains to learn the pipe material, size and condition. This matters because old and new pipes need different pressures. It lets us choose the right pressure and nozzle.
Where it helps, a short camera check comes next. For example, it can show heavy grease in one spot. Because of this, we aim the jet where it is needed.
Then we send water through a rotating nozzle. While it turns, the jet scours the pipe walls clean. It also flushes the debris towards the sewer.
Finally, we check the pipe is clear, because a clean pipe is the goal. Where we use a camera, you can see the result for yourself. We also suggest a sensible gap before the next clean.
We choose a nozzle and a pressure to suit the pipe. Then we work along the run so debris washes away. Where it helps, we film the result.
Local tip: A drain that slows again and again may need a camera check as well as a jet. Because runs can be long, a camera pass helps to prove the result.
Yes, when you use the right pressure. We lower the pressure for older clay pipes, which are common in Malpas. We can use more on modern plastic. A short camera check first confirms the pipe can take it. Because of this, the risk to the pipe stays low.
The cost depends on the length of pipe and how bad the deposits are. Regular maintenance is usually a simpler job than clearing heavy build-up. Request a quote online and we confirm the price before we start. For example, a short run costs less than a long one.
There is no single answer, because it depends on your pipes and how you use them. Homes with mature trees nearby, or kitchens that make a lot of grease, may need cleans more often. We can suggest a sensible gap once we have seen the pipe. Still, if the drain slows sooner, call us for a check.
