Drain Jetting in Nelson

How drain jetting works in Nelson
1
Initial Assessment
We inspect your Nelson 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 Nelson
We select jetting equipment and settings appropriate for your pipe material and the deposits being removed. The process is controlled and methodical, ensuring thorough cleaning without risk of damage to your drainage system.

Drain Jetting in Nelson — FAQs
Is drain jetting safe for older pipes in Nelson?
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 Nelson, 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 Nelson?
Drain jetting in Nelson 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 Nelson?
For most Nelson 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.
