Go the distance with high pressure drain jetting
If you experience any of these, you've likely got a blocked drain that needs jetting:
Slow draining
Gurgling noise from plughole
Bathroom utilties slow draining
Bad smells from drains
Overflowing manholes
DRAIN JETTING
HIGH SPEED JETTING
When drain jetting is most useful
If you're dealing with a clogged drain, drain jetting is a powerful and versatile solution. It uses high-pressure water jets to blast away stubborn blockages like grease, debris, and even tree roots that can cause slow drains or backups. It's not only great for clearing existing problems but also for regular maintenance to keep your drains flowing smoothly. Whether it's a kitchen sink, bathroom pipe, or larger commercial drain, drain jetting can quickly get things back to normal. Just remember to have it done by trained professionals to ensure it's done safely and effectively. It's a fast, efficient way to solve your drain issues and prevent future problems.

Drain jetting, also known as high-pressure water jetting, is a method Clanville Draintech uses to clear blockages and clean drains using a powerful stream of water. We commonly use this to effectively remove various types of obstructions from drainage systems. Here's how it works:
1. Equipment Setup:
A specialised drain jetting machine is used, which consists of a water reservoir, a high-pressure pump, a hose, and a jetting nozzle. The pump pressurises water to very high levels, typically ranging from 1500 to 4000 psi (pounds per square inch).
2. Nozzle Selection:
Different types of jetting nozzles are available, each designed for specific tasks. Nozzles can have forward-facing jets, rear-facing jets, rotating jets, and other configurations to provide various cleaning and clearing actions.
3. Insertion of Hose and Nozzle:
The hose equipped with the selected jetting nozzle is inserted into the drain through an access point, such as a cleanout or manhole.
4. High-Pressure Water Jetting:
The high-pressure pump forces water through the hose and nozzle at a controlled rate. The water exits the nozzle at a high velocity, creating a powerful jet of water.
5. Breaking Down Blockages:
The intense force of the water jet dislodges and breaks apart blockages, such as grease, debris, roots, and sediment, that are clogging the drain.
6. Scouring the Pipe Walls:
As the water jet moves through the drain, it also scours the interior walls of the pipe, removing accumulated grime, scale, and other buildup. This helps restore the pipe's original diameter and flow capacity.
7. Flushing Away Debris:
The dislodged debris and wastewater are carried downstream through the drain system, effectively clearing the blockage and restoring proper water flow.
8. Video Inspection:
After the drain jetting process, a CCTV camera might be used to inspect the drain and ensure that the blockage has been completely cleared. This step helps verify the success of the procedure.
Drain jetting is a versatile technique that can be used for preventive maintenance, routine cleaning, and clearing stubborn blockages. It's effective for a wide range of drain sizes and types, including domestic drains, commercial drains, and municipal sewer lines. However, it's important that drain jetting is performed by trained professionals who understand the equipment and know how to adjust the pressure and nozzle type appropriately to prevent damage to the pipes.
