High-pressure jetting maintains Shipston's period drainage at optimal performance. Our equipment handles stone channels, clay pipes, and modern systems across the town and surrounding villages.
We inspect your Shipston-on-Stour drainage system to determine pipe material, diameter, and condition. This ensures we select the correct jetting pressure and nozzle.
Where appropriate, a brief camera inspection confirms the location and nature of deposits so jetting effort is directed precisely where it is needed.
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.
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.
We adjust jetting pressure to suit each pipe's material and age, ensuring thorough cleaning without risk of damage to period drainage.
