Our process
Inspect
We check the signs and find where the blockage likely sits. If the cause isn't clear at first, a CCTV camera confirms it.
Resolve
We clear and clean the drain with the right method for the job. You get a fixed price agreed before we start, so there are no surprises.
Prevent
We give you simple tips to stop it happening again. A short chat about the cause often saves you the next call-out.
Drain Jetting services we offer
Drain Jetting — frequently asked questions
Is high-pressure drain jetting safe for old pipes?
Yes, when a trained engineer does the work. Since pipe type and condition vary, we adjust the water pressure to keep the clean safe and effective.
How often should drains be jetted?
For most homes, jetting once or twice a year helps stop blockages. Since grease builds up faster there, business kitchens may need it more often.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
No, Emergency Plumber Exeter does not charge any call-out fees, since you only pay for the work done.
How quickly can you arrive in an emergency?
For urgent drainage jobs, we respond fast across Exeter and surrounding areas, since urgent jobs come first, though traffic and weather can still affect timing.
Are you available for emergencies?
Yes, since emergencies don't keep office hours, we offer 24/7 emergency drainage cover across Exeter and surrounding areas. Request a quote online for fast help.
How much does drain unblocking cost?
Costs depend on access, how bad the blockage is, and whether repairs are needed. Since surprises aren't welcome, we give a clear fixed quote before work starts.
