FAQs
What is hydro-jetting and how does it clear a main line blockage?
Hydro-jetting is a professional drain-cleaning method that propels water at 3,000–4,000 psi through a specially designed jetting hose and nozzle. The high-pressure stream scours the full internal diameter of the pipe, pulverising grease, scale, soap scum, tree-root hairs and other debris. Because the nozzle is self-propelled, it travels the length of the main line, breaking up obstructions and flushing them to the municipal sewer. Unlike snaking, which only pokes a hole through a clog, hydro-jetting restores maximum flow and leaves the pipe walls virtually residue-free.
When should I consider hydro-jetting my main sewer line in Lancing?
Hydro-jetting is recommended when you experience recurring backups, multiple slow drains, gurgling toilets, or foul odours coming from the main line. It is especially effective after a CCTV inspection confirms heavy grease, scale build-up or root intrusion. Many Lancing homeowners schedule hydro-jetting as preventive maintenance every 18–24 months to avoid emergency blockages and costly flood damage.
Is hydro-jetting safe for older clay, cast-iron or uPVC pipes?
Yes—when performed by trained plumbers using pressure settings matched to the pipe material and condition, hydro-jetting is safe for most residential and commercial systems. Modern jetting units include adjustable regulators and specialised nozzles that disperse pressure evenly. Before jetting, we conduct a camera survey to check for cracks, collapsed sections or loose joints; if we find structural weaknesses, we may recommend spot repairs or pipe lining instead of full-pressure jetting.
How much does hydro-jetting cost in the Lancing area?
Prices vary with pipe diameter, length, severity of blockage and access points, but most residential main-line hydro-jetting jobs in Lancing fall between £180 and £350 (including CCTV confirmation before and after). Heavily root-bound or commercial lines longer than 30 m can cost more. We provide a fixed, written quote once the initial camera survey is complete, so there are no surprise charges.
Will hydro-jetting disrupt my household or business operations?
A typical residential hydro-jet takes 60–90 minutes from set-up to clean-up. Water service remains on, but we ask that you avoid running fixtures during the process. Our vans carry onboard water, so we do not increase your utility bill. For commercial clients, we can schedule early-morning or after-hours appointments to minimise downtime. All wastewater is contained and disposed of in accordance with Southern Water regulations.
