What Is Jet Blasting for Drains?

Blocked drains can be a big issue, causing slow drainage, bad smells, and gurgling sounds. If you have faced this problem, you are not alone. But there is a solution that goes beyond traditional techniques like hydro jetting or jet blasting.

What is jet blasting?

Hydro jetting, or jet blasting, is a technique of cleaning or surface preparation that involves the use of high-pressure water jets. It is generally used in industrial settings for tasks such as coating or removing paint, cleaning surfaces, and clearing blockages from drains or pipes. The process contains directing a stream of water at extremely high pressure, sometimes gathered with abrasive detergents or materials, to effectively remove unwanted substances or remove debris or dirt.

In the context of cleaning drains or pipes, jet blasting can dislodge and remove obstructions such as grease buildup, tree roots, scale, or sediment that may be blocking the flow.

How does All Spec Plumbing Doncaster use jet blasting?

Before jet blasting, your All Spec Plumbing Doncaster will perform a CCTV check to assess the condition of your pipes and the reason for your blockage. Once identified, we will change the nozzle they use accordingly and begin to unlock your drain through jet blasting.

Once your drains have been cleaned, we will advise you of the next action. If your drain was blocked by the tree roots of a tree, this issue will happen again without further action.
