Case study at a glance
Location: Clevedon, North Somerset.
Reported issue: a blocked sink, with a plumber advising that the drain beneath the house needed jetting.
Finding and work: fat and grease in the pipework, cleared with high-pressure water jetting.
Recorded outcome: the drainage was “all clear and running”.
The problem: a blocked sink
A customer in Clevedon needed help with a blocked sink. A plumber had already attended and advised that the drain beneath the house needed jetting. The enquiry therefore pointed to a drainage issue beyond the sink itself.
What our engineer found
The engineer’s completion note records fat and grease in the pipework beneath the house. This is the finding documented for this particular visit; the record does not establish how long those deposits had been accumulating.
The solution: high-pressure water jetting
Aquablast used high-pressure water jetting to clear the affected pipework. The work addressed the recorded blockage beneath the property, rather than simply cleaning the sink basin.
The recorded result
After jetting, the engineer recorded that the drainage was “all clear and running”. That completion note is the evidence for the successful clearance. The accompanying photograph is an original site image attached to this job; it is not presented as a before-and-after comparison.
What this job demonstrates
This case illustrates the importance of following the reported drainage problem through to the affected pipework. For this Clevedon visit, the documented workflow was a reported blocked sink, a finding of fat and grease beneath the house, water jetting and a recorded clearance outcome.

Frequently asked questions
What caused the blocked sink in this Clevedon case?
The engineer recorded fat and grease in the drainage pipework beneath the house. The blockage was therefore associated with the drainage serving the sink, rather than just the sink basin.
Why was drain jetting used for this blocked sink?
A plumber had already advised that the drain beneath the house needed jetting. Aquablast’s engineer found fat and grease in the pipework and used high-pressure water jetting to clear the affected drainage.
Was the drainage flowing after the work?
Yes. The engineer’s completion note records that the drainage was “all clear and running” after jetting. This is the documented outcome of the Clevedon visit.
What evidence supports this case study?
The account is based on Aquablast’s completed-job notes and the original site photograph attached to the job. The photograph records the visit; it is not labelled as a before-and-after pair.
Can Aquablast help with another blocked sink in Clevedon?
Contact Aquablast to describe the symptoms and arrange an assessment. This case shows a jetting clearance, but the appropriate method for another property depends on where its blockage is and what the engineer finds.
