A clearance method selected for the drain
Jetting uses pressurised water through a hose and nozzle to loosen and move suitable deposits or obstructions. Choosing that method depends on the drainage and the task, rather than the symptom alone.
For an Alton enquiry, explain which outlets are affected, where water is collecting and whether earlier clearance helped. Describe any known drain condition or inspection findings.

Access and investigation shape the work
Tell us where drainage can be accessed and whether space is restricted. The working arrangements and condition influence how clearance can be approached.
If a drain keeps blocking, CCTV investigation may help establish visible condition. Ask whether inspection is part of the proposed work or a separate service.
Do not confuse cleaning with structural repair
A damaged section may continue causing problems after a restriction is removed. Jetting does not repair cracked or collapsed pipework.
If damage is identified, discuss repair assessment. For an urgent blockage, SouthFlow provides 24/7 drainage help, with attendance and the suitable method agreed for the actual situation.
Your Alton service questions
What does high-pressure drain jetting do?
It uses a hose and nozzle to direct pressurised water at suitable deposits and blockages inside a drain. This can help remove built-up waste and restore flow. The approach depends on the pipe’s condition and the obstruction.
Is drain jetting the same as jet vacuumation?
No. Jetting uses pressurised water to loosen and move deposits. Jet vacuumation combines water jetting with vacuum extraction to remove material such as silt or sludge. Tell us what needs clearing so the appropriate service can be discussed.
Can jetting guarantee the drain will stay clear?
No. Clearance does not prevent new waste from accumulating or resolve underlying pipe damage. If the drain repeatedly blocks, a CCTV inspection may help identify a defect or another reason the problem keeps returning.
Is jetting suitable for every drain?
No. The pipe’s condition, available access and type of obstruction matter. Share any known damage or previous survey findings before work begins so the clearance method can be assessed.
Will jetting repair a cracked or collapsed pipe?
No. Jetting clears suitable obstructions; it does not repair the pipe itself. Damaged sections need separate assessment to determine whether relining, excavation or another repair is appropriate.
Is a CCTV inspection included with jetting?
Only if it is included in the agreed work. Ask whether the quote covers a camera inspection and any footage or written findings you need.
How much does the work cost?
We quote for the work your property needs. The price depends on the problem, access, preparation and attendance arrangements. When requesting a quote, ask what is included and whether VAT or additional investigation charges apply.
