Blocked Drains in Kettering

Kettering's former shoe-industry terraces near the town centre commonly have original clay drainage, prone to root intrusion and gradual displacement. We always quote a fixed price before starting work — no hidden call-out fee, and nothing added once we're on site.

High-Pressure Jetting

For blockages that rodding can't clear — deep scale, compacted debris, or extensive grease buildup — we use high-pressure water jetting. A flexible hose feeds a rotating nozzle through the drain, blasting water at up to around 3,000–4,000 psi to strip the pipe wall clean rather than just punching a hole through the blockage.

We use cold water for general blockages and switch to hot water where fat and grease have hardened onto the pipe wall — heat helps melt the buildup as the jet clears it, rather than just displacing it further down the run.

Root Cutting

Tree roots find their way into drains through hairline cracks or displaced joints, then grow into a dense mat that traps debris and causes recurring blockages. We fit a rotary root-cutting head to the jetting hose to shred the roots and restore flow. If root intrusion keeps recurring at the same point, we'll usually recommend a CCTV drain survey to check whether the underlying joint needs repair.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you use high-pressure jetting in Kettering?
Yes. High-pressure jetting uses a flexible hose and rotating nozzle to blast water at up to around 3,000–4,000 psi through the drain, cutting through grease, scale, and debris that rodding can't shift. We use cold water for general blockages and hot water where fat and grease buildup needs melting as well as blasting.
Can jetting clear tree root intrusion?
Yes, with a root-cutting attachment. A rotary root-cutting head fitted to the jetting hose shreds roots that have grown into the pipe through a cracked joint, restoring flow. For persistent root intrusion, we may recommend a CCTV survey afterwards to check whether the joint itself needs repair.
How quickly can you clear a blocked drain in Kettering?
We attend Kettering call-outs promptly, with urgent jobs prioritised. Most standard blockages are cleared within an hour of arrival.
Do you charge a call-out fee in Kettering?
No — never. We quote a fixed price before any work starts, and that's what you pay. No call-out fee, no surprise additions once we're on site.
What causes recurring blocked drains in Kettering's older streets?
The former shoe-industry terraces near the town centre commonly have original clay drainage, which is more prone to root intrusion and gradual joint displacement than modern plastic pipework.
