Commercial Drain JETTING

At Express Drainage Solutions, we provide commercial drain jetting for facilities managers, contractors, landlords and organisations across London and the South East. We combine more than 20 years of hands-on industry experience with high-pressure drain jetting technology.

Allowing grease, silt, scale or debris to build up inside any commercial drainage system can mean disastrous results. From backed-up kitchens to flooded car parks, you can expect awkward questions from any health and safety inspectors and customers, so why leave it to chance?

Whether you need urgent blockage removal or a scheduled maintenance programme that prevents problems arising in the first place, we have a fleet of jetting vans and tankers ready to respond to your call.

 

What is commercial drain jetting?

Commercial drain jetting is a process that uses high-pressure water to strip away any build-up restricting flow or causing a blockage in your drains.

This is far stronger than your typical jetting equipment used by the public, and we use a specialist nozzle fed through the pipework. Using controlled pressure, water is used to cut through grease, fat, silt, scale, tree roots and other debris, before flushing any loose waste through to a collection point or tank.

Drain jetting differs from simple rodding techniques, as the latter simply pushes blockages further into the system without removing them. Jetting clears the full diameter of your pipes for a genuinely clean drainage run, rather than a temporary solution.

Commercial vs domestic drain jetting: What’s the difference?

Where domestic drain jetting deals with a single-property drain and smaller diameters, therefore allowing lower pressures, commercial drain jetting is the next level up.

The scale of retail units, restaurants, factories, schools or hospitals means that trade effluent, wastewater and grease are produced at much higher volumes, often within more complex pipe networks.

That means a higher-capacity jetting unit, with large tankers for waste removal and a team of engineers who understand commercial compliance, is required. From site health and safety to trade effluent consents, our teams are fully trained and equipped to work in all commercial environments.

OUR COMMERCIAL DRAINAGE SOLUTIONS

When do you need high-pressure drain jetting?

We deploy our commercial drain jetting in many scenarios. Here are just a few where it is typically required:

Grease trap and kitchen line blockages: A source of persistent frustration for restaurants, cafes, hotels and food manufacturing sites.

Recurring blockages: Where the same pipework section is causing issues, this is a sign of root ingress or scale, and is no longer a one-off problem.

Slow-draining or overflowing gullies: Along with this, manholes and interceptors are also likely over capacity.

Pre-emptive maintenance: Getting ahead of known problems identified in a CCTV drain survey can clear an issue before it’s allowed to escalate.

Odours: Any foul smells from a drainage run can signal trapped organic waste and put health and safety at risk.

Post-construction or post-refurbishment clearance: Any debris or building material left behind in newly connected pipework can sometimes be removed with jetting.If you’re already experiencing a blockage that jetting won’t resolve by itself, then our commercial drain unblocking team can also attend. This will help to restore your drains faster.

 

 

Emergency jetting vs planned preventative maintenance

We provide both emergency drain jetting and planned preventative maintenance jetting. Each has its place, since no one plans for their grease trap to burst on a Friday afternoon at a busy restaurant, but those who spend the least on those emergencies are the businesses with a maintenance schedule already in place.

Emergency drain jetting helps get your site back up and running again as quickly as possible. Our emergency drain services team provides a rapid response, typically arriving within the hour. We come fully equipped to jet, tanker and, where requested, survey the affected line to give you confidence moving forward.

Planned preventative maintenance (PPM) is the best way to avoid those nasty surprises posed by drainage. Rather than just waiting for a blockage to bring your business to a halt, we carry out a scheduled jetting programme, be that quarterly or biannually, keeping your pipework clear and reducing the risk of unplanned downtime. That means, whatever frequency your site requires, you can protect your budget from expensive emergency callouts.

Contact us today to create a PPM contract with us and pair it with drain mapping so that every stakeholder in your business has an accurate record of the property drainage network.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Enhance your business operations with our specialist commercial drainage solutions, book now for peace of mind and uninterrupted operations. 

What is the difference between commercial and domestic drain jetting? 

Commercial drain jetting is tailored to handle larger and more complex drainage systems found in business environments, whereas domestic jetting is for residential properties. 

How often should I schedule drain jetting services? 

The frequency depends on your business type and usage. Generally, scheduling regular maintenance every 6-12 months is advisable to prevent issues. 

Are your services available 24/7? 

Yes, we offer round-the-clock services to ensure that your business operations are never disrupted by drainage issues. 

What can commercial drain jetting remove?

Commercial drain jetting can remove grease, fat, silt, scale and other debris that restricts drainage flow. Some root-related blockages may require specialist cutting equipment. Our engineers assess the obstruction and pipe condition before selecting the appropriate method.

Is high-pressure jetting safe for commercial drains?

When carried out using suitable equipment and controlled pressure, jetting is appropriate for many commercial drainage systems. Our engineers consider the pipe material, condition and access before starting. If damage is suspected, a commercial CCTV survey may be recommended to establish whether jetting or repair work is suitable.

How often should commercial drains be jetted?

The right frequency depends on your business activities, drainage layout and history of blockages. Kitchens and food preparation areas may need more frequent cleaning than sites producing less grease or debris. We can recommend a maintenance schedule based on your system’s condition and operational requirements.

Do I need a CCTV drain survey before jetting?

Not every blockage requires a CCTV survey before clearance. However, recurring problems, suspected pipe damage or an unclear cause may warrant an inspection. A survey can help identify underlying defects and inform any further cleaning or repair recommendations.
