When Drain Jetting Is the Right Tool

Rods and a jetter do two different jobs. A rod clears a path through the blockage. A jetter takes the pipe back to its full width.

Rodding

A rod is pushed through the blockage until water moves again. Quick and cheap, and fine for a one-off.

Drain jetting

A jetter blasts water at the pipe wall and strips the build-up right off, so the full width of the drain comes back.

What Jetting Is Actually For

Some drains need a one-off clear. Others keep failing because the pipe itself has narrowed. Jetting is built for the second kind.

Can Drain Jetting Damage Your Pipes?

Jetting does not damage a healthy pipe. It can finish off one that was already cracked, so we check first.
drain jet5

Modern plastic and sound clay handle high pressure water without trouble. On a healthy line, jetting cleans it and does no harm at all.

The pipe was already failing under the muck. Jetting clears the debris and shows the fault that was there all along.

We ask how old the property is, and on anything we are unsure of the camera goes down before the jetter. You do not jet blind on an old line.

If the line is too far gone, jetting will not save it and could make it worse. We tell you straight rather than push on.

We had an extremely positive experience with Davis Drain Services. Within minutes of calling them out of hours, they arrived to our house to clear a blocked septic tank. It was pumped out promptly before returning the following morning to rectify the issue. At all times they made us feel at ease and explained everything to us clearly. While on site they also provided helpful advice on how to rectify heating issues we were having. We would have no hesitation recommending them for both drainage and plumbing works. Thanks to Alec and team.

Just had Alec out to look at an issue with my boiler. We were without heat and he arrived so quickly after being contacted. He was able to pinpoint the issue straight away and had it fixed in minutes. I also asked advice on an issue with my drains that I have been encountering for a few years and he was able to give me advice on how fix it. Thank you Alec, I am very grateful for all you help.

Drain Jetting Questions, Answered

The things people ask us before booking a jetting visit.
What is drain jetting?

Drain jetting is a way of cleaning a pipe with high pressure water. A hose with a specialised nozzle is fed into the drain, and the water strips fat, silt, scale and roots off the pipe wall, so the full width of the line comes back.

No. Power washing cleans outdoor surfaces like patios and driveways. Drain jetting works inside underground pipes, at higher pressure, with a different machine and nozzle. They are separate trades, and a patio power washer will not clear a blocked drain.

Drain jetting does not damage a sound pipe. Modern plastic and solid clay handle high pressure water easily. The risk is only an old pipe that is already cracked or crumbling, and jetting tends to uncover that fault rather than cause it. That is why we camera older lines first.

A single domestic jetting job in Dublin usually runs about €120 to €250 plus VAT, set by the length of pipe and the access. Commercial and main-run work is quoted on site. Either way, you get the price before any work starts.
A single domestic drain usually takes under an hour once we are on site. A full house system takes longer, and commercial main runs depend on the length of the line and the access. We tell you what to expect when we quote.
For a one-off soft blockage, rodding is quicker and cheaper and does the job. For a drain that keeps blocking, jetting is the better tool, because it strips the build-up off the pipe wall instead of pushing a hole through it. A drain that blocks every few months usually needs jetting.

Drain jetting shears out fine root growth and clears the line. Heavier root ingress needs specialist root cutting first, then jetting to wash the debris away. Either way, roots inside a pipe mean there is a crack letting them in, which is worth looking at.

Most homes never need drain jetting on a schedule, only when a drain starts blocking. Commercial kitchens are different: many run a jetting visit every few months to keep grease lines clear. If a drain has blocked more than once in a year, that is the sign it is due.
