Drain Jetting in Portsmouth
High-pressure drain jetting is the most effective way to clear stubborn blockages and clean Portsmouth's often ageing pipe systems. Our specialist equipment delivers water at pressures up to 4,000 PSI, cutting through grease, scale, and debris while being gentle on pipe walls.
How drain jetting works in Portsmouth
1
Initial Assessment
We inspect your Portsmouth drainage system to determine pipe material, diameter, and condition. This ensures we select the correct jetting pressure and nozzle.
2
CCTV Pre-Check
Where appropriate, a brief camera inspection confirms the location and nature of deposits so jetting effort is directed precisely where it is needed.
3
High-Pressure Cleaning
Our specialist jetting unit delivers water at pressures up to 4,000 PSI through a rotating nozzle, scouring the pipe walls clean and flushing debris towards the sewer.
4
Post-Jetting Verification
A final camera pass confirms the pipe is clear. We compare before-and-after footage so you can see the improvement, and advise on a suitable maintenance interval.
Our approach in Portsmouth
Our jetting equipment is carefully inserted into your drainage system, with the water pressure adjusted to suit your pipe type and condition. The rotating nozzle scours the pipe walls clean while flushing debris towards the sewer connection.
Local tip: Portsmouth's hard water from the Pentland Hills reservoir supply contributes to scale buildup in pipes. Regular jetting every 12-18 months keeps systems flowing freely.

Drain Jetting in Portsmouth — FAQs
Is drain jetting safe for older pipes in Portsmouth?
Yes, when carried out by qualified engineers. We adjust water pressure to suit the pipe material and condition — lower pressures for older clay pipes common in Portsmouth, higher pressures for modern plastic systems. A brief CCTV check beforehand confirms the pipe can safely be jetted.
How much does drain jetting cost in Portsmouth?
Drain jetting in Portsmouth typically costs between £100 and £250 depending on the length of pipe and severity of deposits. We confirm the price before starting. Regular maintenance jetting is usually at the lower end of this range.
How often should drains be jetted in Portsmouth?
For most Portsmouth residential properties, jetting every 12 to 18 months keeps drainage flowing freely. Properties with mature trees nearby, or commercial kitchens producing grease, may benefit from more frequent cleaning — typically every 6 to 12 months.
