Drain Jetting — frequently asked questions
Is high-pressure drain jetting safe for old pipes?
Yes, when performed by professionals. We adjust the water pressure and choose hot or cold jetting based on the pipe material, age and the type of blockage — older clay runs common around Aldershot and Ash need a different approach to modern plastic pipework, and we assess this before starting.
Can drain jetting clear tree root ingress?
High-pressure jetting fitted with a root-cutting head can clear root ingress from a pipe, which is a common issue in the older, tree-lined streets around Ash and Ash Vale. For persistent root problems we combine root cutting with a CCTV survey to check whether a pipe repair is also needed, so the cause is dealt with, not just the symptom.
How often should drains be jetted?
For most residential properties, annual or bi-annual jetting helps prevent blockages. Commercial kitchens may require more frequent maintenance due to grease buildup.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
No, Blocked Drains in Aldershot does not charge any call-out fees. You only pay for the work completed.
