High-pressure drain jetting is one of the most effective ways to clear a blocked or slow-running drain, and it works on problems that rods and plungers simply can't shift. At Strathclyde Drainage, it's one of the methods we turn to regularly across Glasgow and central Scotland when a blockage needs more than a simple poke.
The process involves sending a powerful jet of water through the drain at high pressure, breaking up built-up grease, scale, and debris and flushing it clear through the system. It's particularly useful for external drains and main sewer lines where years of build-up have narrowed the pipe, or where fat and grease have solidified to the point where mechanical tools won't cut through them.
One thing that separates our team from many others is that our engineers are fully certified in high-pressure jetting techniques. That matters more than it might sound, as older clay pipework, which is common throughout Glasgow's housing stock, can be damaged by inexperienced use of high-pressure equipment. We know how to clear the drain without making things worse.
Drain jetting isn't just for emergencies either. It's a sensible preventative measure for properties that are prone to repeat blockages, whether that's because of tree roots nearby, a property that generates a lot of kitchen waste, or simply drains that haven't had a proper clean in years. A jetting session can restore flow and add years of trouble-free drainage.
We carry jetting equipment on all our vans so it's available as part of our 24-hour callout service. Whether you've got a recurring problem or a sudden blockage that nothing else will shift, contact us and we'll get things moving again.
