High-pressure jetting effectively maintains Sherborne St John's drainage systems, from traditional clay pipes in period properties to modern plastic pipes in newer builds. Our specialist equipment clears the deposits that accumulate in local drainage.
We inspect your Sherborne St John 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 match jetting equipment to your pipe type and condition. Period drainage receives careful, lower-pressure treatment, while modern systems can handle more thorough cleaning.
