The Ultimate Solution for Stubborn Blockages
When standard plunging or rodding fails to clear a blocked drain, you need a more powerful solution. High pressure water jetting (often called hydro-jetting) is the most effective, efficient, and environmentally friendly method for clearing severe blockages and restoring your drainage system to full capacity. Whether you are dealing with a solid fatberg in a commercial kitchen or years of scale build-up in a residential property, drain jetting provides a permanent fix.
At Clever Works, we provide specialist high pressure drain jetting services across Farnham, Surrey, and the surrounding areas. Our van-mounted jetting units deliver water at pressures up to 4,000 PSI, capable of slicing through tree roots, obliterating grease blockages, and stripping pipe walls clean of accumulated scale and debris. We don't just temporarily relieve the symptom; we completely cure the underlying problem.
What Does Drain Jetting Involve?
High pressure water jetting involves feeding a flexible, high-strength hose directly into your drainage system. At the end of this hose is a specialized nozzle that directs powerful streams of water backwards and forwards. The forward-facing jets break apart the solid obstruction—such as wet wipes, fat, or roots—while the rear-facing jets propel the hose further down the pipe and scour the pipe walls clean.
Unlike traditional drain rodding, which simply punches a narrow hole through a blockage (allowing it to quickly build up again), water jetting cleans the entire diameter of the pipe. It flushes all the broken-down debris safely into the main sewer network, leaving your pipes as clean and free-flowing as the day they were installed.

What to Expect: The Jetting Process
Initial Assessment
Upon arrival, our engineer will inspect the blocked drain or manhole to determine the likely cause of the blockage and select the appropriate jetting pressure and nozzle type.
High-Pressure Jetting
We feed the jetting hose into the system. The high-pressure water breaks down the obstruction and thoroughly scours the internal walls of the pipework.
System Flushing
The dislodged fat, scale, and debris are safely flushed through your drainage system and out into the main municipal sewer network.
Verification & Clean-Up
We test the drains to ensure full flow capacity has been restored. If necessary, we can perform a quick CCTV inspection to verify the pipe is clear and structurally sound. We then thoroughly clean and disinfect the work area.
Local Expertise in Farnham & Surrey
Properties in Farnham, Aldershot, Godalming, and the wider Surrey area often face specific drainage challenges. The region is known for its hard water, which accelerates the build-up of uric scale and limescale inside pipework, gradually reducing the pipe's diameter until a blockage occurs. Furthermore, the mature, leafy suburbs of Surrey mean that tree root ingress into older clay pipes is incredibly common. Our high-pressure jetting units are specifically calibrated to cut through these tough local root systems and descale hard water deposits, providing a tailored solution for Surrey homeowners and businesses.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can high pressure jetting damage my pipes?
When performed by trained professionals, water jetting is completely safe. Our engineers adjust the water pressure and select specific nozzles based on the age, material (e.g., clay vs. PVC), and condition of your pipes to ensure they are cleaned without causing any structural damage.
Is jetting better than rodding?
Yes, in almost all cases. Rodding only pokes a narrow hole through a blockage, leaving grease and scale attached to the pipe walls, which often leads to the drain blocking again shortly after. Jetting completely cleans the entire inside diameter of the pipe.
Can jetting remove tree roots from drains?
Yes. We use specialized root-cutting flail nozzles attached to our high-pressure hoses. The water pressure spins the flails at high speed, slicing through the invasive tree roots and clearing the pipe without the need for excavation.
How much does high pressure water jetting cost?
The cost depends on the severity of the blockage and the time required to clear it. We offer transparent, fixed-fee pricing with no hidden call-out charges. Call us on 01932 544 095 for a free, accurate quote.
