How High Pressure Jetting Works: Explained by Aquablast Drains in Bath
Updated: 15 hours ago
High pressure water jetting uses a specialist hose and nozzle to dislodge suitable drainage obstructions. Aquablast Drain Services Ltd selects the method according to the blockage, access and pipe condition rather than treating every drain the same way.

What jetting may clear
Water jetting can remove suitable deposits such as grease, paper, sludge and silt. Roots may require specialist cutting equipment. A collapsed pipe, badly displaced joint or hard obstruction may need a separate repair. Jetting does not guarantee every surface is completely clean or that a blockage will never return.
Why inspection matters
Fragile or damaged drains require particular care. CCTV may be recommended when the cause is uncertain, the blockage recurs or repair planning is needed. A camera is not necessarily used on every routine clearance; confirm the agreed scope when booking.
Frequently asked questions
Does jetting repair a broken drain?
It clears suitable deposits and obstructions. A crack, collapse or badly displaced pipe requires separate assessment and potentially repair.
Is a camera used on every jetting visit?
Not necessarily. CCTV may be recommended where the cause is unclear or defects are suspected. Confirm the agreed scope when booking.
Can jetting be used on older pipework?
Suitability depends on its condition and access. The engineer assesses the route and selects an appropriate method and settings.
Will jetting permanently prevent blockages?
No cleaning method can guarantee this. Future misuse or an unrepaired defect may lead to another problem. Follow the specific aftercare advice.
