Drain Jetting in Richmond
High-pressure drain jetting tailored to Richmond's mix of historic and modern drainage systems. We adjust pressure and nozzle selection to suit each pipe type, from ancient stone channels to contemporary plastic installations.
How drain jetting works in Richmond
1
Initial Assessment
We inspect your Richmond 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 Richmond
We carefully assess pipe condition before jetting, ensuring pressure settings are appropriate for the pipe material. Our equipment effectively clears deposits while protecting the integrity of older drainage systems.
Local tip: Richmond's limestone geology can contribute to significant scale buildup in pipes. Regular jetting helps prevent gradual flow reduction in the town's period properties.

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