FAQs — Water Jetting in Skelmersdale
How often should commercial kitchens jet their drains?
Most kitchens benefit from a quarterly clean if the grease trap is well-maintained, monthly if it isn't. We'll give you an honest schedule based on what we find on the first visit.
Will jetting damage my drains?
No, when used correctly. Our engineers match the nozzle and pressure to the pipe material — clay, cast iron, pitch fibre, plastic — so the pipe wall isn't touched. We won't jet a pipe we suspect is collapsed without a camera first.
