Since every property is different, jetting works well on Hexham's mixed pipework. It clears scale from old town-centre clay pipes and grease from busy Market Place kitchens. Our engineers match the pressure to your pipe's age and material.
Every drainage system is different, so we check your Hexham pipes first. We look at the material, width, and condition. This tells us the right jetting pressure to use.
A camera check is optional, although we still recommend it. It helps confirm exactly where deposits sit in the pipe. This lets us aim the jetting at the right spot every time.
Our jetting unit fires a high-pressure water jet through a rotating nozzle. This still scours the pipe walls clean and flushes debris down to the sewer.
A final camera pass confirms the pipe is clear. We compare the before-and-after footage together. We also suggest a maintenance schedule to keep drains flowing.
Since conditions vary by site, we check your pipe's material and condition before we start. Old clay pipes and any lead sections need gentle, controlled pressure. We spot lead during a camera check first, then jet with care.
Local tip: Since small checks save bigger bills, rural homes with a septic tank should jet the inlet pipe once a year. Silt often builds up right at that point. People often blame a failed soakaway, but a blocked inlet is usually the real cause.
Yes — qualified engineers adjust the water pressure to suit your pipes. Since older clay pipes are common in Hexham, they need a gentler setting. Modern plastic systems can safely take a higher pressure.
The cost depends on the pipe length and how bad the buildup is. Ask for a fast, fixed-price quote online, and we confirm the cost before we start. Regular maintenance jetting is usually quicker and simpler than clearing heavy buildup.
For most Hexham homes, jetting every 12 to 18 months keeps drains flowing well. If you have mature trees nearby, or a commercial kitchen producing grease, you may need it more often. Every 6 to 12 months usually works well in those cases.
