Drain Unblocking and High-pressure Jetting
A blocked drain can cause slow sinks and toilets, unpleasant smells, overflowing chambers and wastewater backing up around the property. Elliott & Sons provides drain unblocking and high-pressure jetting across Plymouth and surrounding areas for domestic and commercial customers.
We assess the symptoms and use suitable equipment to clear common blockages and built-up material. If the problem appears to be caused by damage or keeps returning, we can recommend a CCTV survey or repair assessment rather than repeatedly treating the symptom.
Common signs of a blocked drain
- Water draining slowly from sinks, baths, showers or toilets
- Gurgling sounds or unpleasant smells
- Water rising in external chambers
- Overflowing drains or wastewater backing up
- A blockage that clears temporarily but returns
High-pressure water jetting
Water jetting can remove many common drainage obstructions and built-up deposits by directing high-pressure water through the pipework. The correct approach depends on the drainage condition, access and the suspected cause of the blockage.
Once the immediate flow has been restored, we will advise if there are signs that further investigation is sensible.
When a CCTV survey may be needed
Recurring blockages, suspected damage, poor connections or unexplained drainage problems may require an internal camera inspection. A CCTV survey allows the drainage to be checked before deciding whether repair work is necessary.

Drain Unblocking FAQs
Jetting is effective for many common obstructions and deposits, but it cannot repair damaged, collapsed or badly connected pipework. If the problem is structural, further investigation and repair may be required.
Tell us which fixtures or drains are affected, whether there is visible overflow, when the problem started and whether it has happened before.
Yes. If a survey or investigation identifies damage, we can discuss repair, replacement, excavation and reinstatement options.
