High-pressure jetting effectively maintains Old Basing's varied drainage systems, from traditional clay pipes in historic properties to modern plastic systems in newer developments. Our careful approach removes accumulated deposits while protecting the integrity of original drainage features.
We inspect your Old Basing drainage system to determine pipe material, diameter, and condition. This ensures we select the correct jetting pressure and nozzle.
Where appropriate, a brief camera inspection confirms the location and nature of deposits so jetting effort is directed precisely where it is needed.
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.
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.
We assess your drainage and select appropriate jetting equipment. Period drainage receives careful, lower-pressure treatment, while modern systems can handle more thorough cleaning. We verify results with flow testing.
Local tip: Old Basing properties near the River Loddon experience higher groundwater that can carry silt into drainage — regular jetting prevents gradual flow reduction.
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 Old-basing, higher pressures for modern plastic systems. A brief CCTV check beforehand confirms the pipe can safely be jetted.
Drain jetting in Old-basing 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.
For most Old-basing 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.
