You might be wondering why water is more effective than a solid metal rod. Think of it like trying to clean a muddy car with a stick versus a professional power washer. Our van-mounted jetting units deliver water at such high pressure that they can strip away years of built-up grease, fat, and limescale that rods simply cannot touch. Whether it is a kitchen drain choked with cooking fats or a garden gully filled with silt and debris, the sheer force of the water clears everything in its path, leaving the pipe walls smooth and preventing future snags.

When you are dealing with thousands of pounds of water pressure, you want to know the person holding the hose knows exactly what they are doing. At I Dig Drains and Watermains, our engineers are fully WJA (Water Jetting Association) certified. This means we have undergone rigorous training to handle high-pressure equipment safely and effectively, ensuring your pipes are cleaned without being damaged. For your peace of mind, we also carry £5 million in public liability insurance and hold WIAPS accreditation, so you can trust us to treat your property with the respect it deserves.

Some blockages are too tough for standard tools to handle. In the older parts of Bakewell and the Derbyshire Dales, we often see tree roots that have found their way into clay pipe joints, or massive 'fatbergs' caused by fats and oils solidifying over time. Our specialised jetting heads can actually cut through these roots and blast through solid grease without the need for any digging. It is a non-invasive, eco-friendly solution that uses nothing but plain water to get your drainage system moving again, saving you the stress and expense of an excavation.

If you run a pub, cafe, or restaurant in the heart of Bakewell, a blocked drain can be a total disaster for your trade. Most business owners we speak to tell us they would much rather prevent a problem than deal with an emergency overflow during a busy lunch shift. We offer tailored preventative maintenance plans where we come in and descale your lines using our high-pressure systems. By regularly clearing out the grease and scale before it causes a total blockage, we help keep your doors open and your customers happy.
