Sewer Cleaning & Jetting
Jet-vac desilting for foul & surface water drains. Same-day attendance, 24/7.
High-pressure jetting & jet vac desilting for sewers.
When to choose this service
Choose sewer cleaning when foul or surface-water drains are slow or surcharging, manholes rise, gullies overflow in heavy rain, or there are persistent sewer odours. Cleaning is also essential ahead of CCTV surveys, lining or new connections to ensure lines are clear and free-flowing.
On commercial and industrial sites, routine cleaning prevents flooding and hygiene issues by removing silt, grit, grease and debris from car parks, production areas and welfare facilities. For larger networks or heavy silt we deploy jet-vac tankers; for stubborn intrusions we can use mechanical root cutting.
Why Drain Alert
We combine high-pressure jetting with jet-vac desilting to remove silt, grease, scale and roots quickly with minimal disruption. Where helpful, we provide CCTV verification on request with screenshots or video.
All work is delivered by accredited engineers using a fully equipped fleet — jetting units, jet-vac tankers and electro-mechanical machines. We operate 24/7 with no call-out charge, manage traffic and confined-space procedures where required, and provide duty-of-care waste documentation. If defects are identified we’ll explain the options and give a free, fixed quote for targeted repairs such as patching or relining.
