Water Jetting is a process by which high pressure water is blasted through drainage pipes to clean or clear a blocked drain. Water jetting not only assists in removing blockages from drains, but can also help to remove encrustations and loose debris. We offer a competitively priced water jetting service to unblock drains, or to regularly provide a cleaning service that helps keep your drain free from encrustations and debris, which if left could result in costly drain repairs. The water jetting equipment consists of forward and rearward direction high pressure water jets that impact upon encrustations, small tree roots within a drain at jet speeds of up to 400mph, cutting through deposits clinging to the inner wall of the drain or pipe.
Tree and plant roots are adept at penetrating all sorts of materials causing the roots to enter and block pipes (we call this root ingress) and the older pipes made of pitch and concrete pipes and are particularly prone to ingress from trees, shrubs and other thick rooted plants. Once the roots penetrate they grow and block the drainage pipes and sewers. Damage caused can often be very expensive to repair. First used to successfully de-scale corroded cast iron drains and stack pipes, rotary mechanical drain cleaners are used to remove tree root ingress from any material of pipe.
Drain installation is an expert and precise business - you cannot simply a dig a hole, lay the pipe and its done. Drain installation does take specialist professional knowledge and training. You need to know where to position the drain, knowledge of planning permissions and building regulation standards which all play a part. At Central Drainage Services Limited each of our engineers has been fully trained and will advise you of all the requirements necessary before you finally decide on installing a new drain.
Repairs to drains can be necessary due to several occurrences ranging from damage during rodding, tree root egress, cracking due to extreme weather conditions, or damage during the laying of cables and other services. Central Drainage Services Ltd specialises in repairs to cracked, collapsed and damaged drains. We can repair or replace drains of ceramic, plastic, or of old pitch fibre construction, we can generally repair the majority of drain damage problems with as minimal disruption as possible.
A CCTV drain inspection can actually save you time and money by identifying weaknesses in drains before they become a major problem and a costly repair. If you are buying an older property a CCTV drain survey can make you aware of the state of the drains, which otherwise go unseen and could be a hidden problem costing thousands of pounds to correct. Our CCTV camera fits any pipe size from 100mm to 1000mm. We can record our drain surveys and inspections for you so that you can see exactly what the camera sees.
