Everything you need to know about drain clearance in Cornwall.
Most domestic blockages clear for £80–£150 with high-pressure jetting. Recurring blockages may need a CCTV survey (£150–£250) to pinpoint the cause. Tree-root incursions or collapsed pipes need bigger work — your specialist will quote properly after inspection.
Common signs: slow-draining sinks or baths, gurgling toilets, bad smells around drain covers, water rising in lower-level drains when flushing upstairs, and sewage backing up in showers or floor drains. If multiple fixtures are slow at once, the problem is usually further down the line.
Usually not. High-pressure jetting handles most blockages without any excavation. Even root ingress can often be cut back without lifting paving. Only collapsed pipes or major subsidence need digging.
Most domestic jobs take 30 minutes to 1 hour. Stubborn blockages or longer drainage runs can take 2–3 hours. CCTV surveys (if needed) typically add another hour.
Modern high-pressure jetters operate within safe pressure limits for domestic drains. Older brittle clay pipes or already-damaged sections may need a gentler approach — your specialist will assess before jetting, and use CCTV to check first if there's any doubt.
