High-pressure drain jetting for domestic properties

Resolving Blockages Without Disrupting Your Home

Our first priority is always to clear your blocked drain using the least invasive method available. In most cases, high-pressure water jetting restores full flow within a single visit. Where a recurring blockage suggests a deeper issue — cracked pipes, root intrusion or displaced joints — we deploy CCTV survey cameras to diagnose the cause accurately before recommending any repair work.

When repairs are needed, we offer trenchless drain relining and patch repair solutions that restore pipe integrity from the inside — protecting your garden, patio and driveway from unnecessary excavation.

Frequently Asked Questions — Domestic Drainage

How quickly can you attend a blocked drain at my home?+
DrainCare Direct operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We aim to reach most locations inside the M25 within 60 minutes of your call. Response times may vary depending on your location and traffic conditions. Call us on 0800 138 8328 for an immediate response.
Will you need to dig up my garden or driveway?+
Not always. In many cases, blocked or damaged drains can be resolved using no-dig techniques such as high-pressure jetting or trenchless drain relining. We always carry out a CCTV survey first to recommend the least invasive and most cost-effective solution. Excavation is only proposed when it is genuinely necessary.
What are the most common causes of blocked domestic drains?+
The most common causes in residential properties include fat, oil and grease build-up from kitchen sinks; wet wipes and sanitary products that should not be flushed; tree root intrusion into ageing pipework; scale and debris accumulation; and collapsed or displaced pipes in older drainage systems.
Do you provide a CCTV survey report I can use for a home insurance claim?+
Yes. Following any CCTV inspection we provide a full written report including recorded video footage, a defect condition grade and recommended remediation works. This documentation is accepted by most home insurers and can also support property purchase decisions.
Is domestic drain unblocking covered by home insurance?+
Coverage depends on your individual policy. Many home insurance policies cover damage caused by blocked drains but may not cover the clearance itself. We recommend contacting your insurer to clarify your cover. We provide full invoices and reports to support any claim you wish to make.
How long does a domestic drain unblocking take?+
Most straightforward domestic blockages are cleared within 1–2 hours. More complex cases involving root intrusion, pipe damage or multiple access points may take longer. Our engineer will advise you on scope and timescale before commencing work.
Can you work around my daily routine?+
Yes. We understand that having engineers in your home can be disruptive. We work with you to schedule visits at a convenient time, keep work areas clean and tidy, and minimise disruption to your household throughout the job.
