Drain Jetting in Lanark
High-pressure jetting is essential maintenance for Lanark's drainage systems, which contend with hillside runoff, rural debris, and ageing pipe materials. Our specialist equipment handles everything from clearing storm debris in countryside properties to descaling Victorian pipes in the town centre.
How drain jetting works in Lanark
1
Initial Assessment
We inspect your Lanark drainage system to determine pipe material, diameter, and condition. This ensures we select the correct jetting pressure and nozzle.
2
CCTV Pre-Check
Where appropriate, a brief camera inspection confirms the location and nature of deposits so jetting effort is directed precisely where it is needed.
3
High-Pressure Cleaning
Our specialist jetting unit delivers water at pressures up to 4,000 PSI through a rotating nozzle, scouring the pipe walls clean and flushing debris towards the sewer.
4
Post-Jetting Verification
A final camera pass confirms the pipe is clear. We compare before-and-after footage so you can see the improvement, and advise on a suitable maintenance interval.
Our approach in Lanark
We select jetting equipment suited to Lanark's conditions, with careful pressure settings for older stone-channelled and heritage drainage. Flow is verified before completing the service.

Drain Jetting in Lanark — FAQs
Is drain jetting safe for older pipes in Lanark?
Yes, when carried out by qualified engineers. We adjust water pressure to suit the pipe material and condition — lower pressures for older clay pipes common in Lanark, higher pressures for modern plastic systems. A brief CCTV check beforehand confirms the pipe can safely be jetted.
How much does drain jetting cost in Lanark?
Drain jetting in Lanark typically costs between £100 and £250 depending on the length of pipe and severity of deposits. We confirm the price before starting. Regular maintenance jetting is usually at the lower end of this range.
How often should drains be jetted in Lanark?
For most Lanark residential properties, jetting every 12 to 18 months keeps drainage flowing freely. Properties with mature trees nearby, or commercial kitchens producing grease, may benefit from more frequent cleaning — typically every 6 to 12 months.
