Drain Flushing & Unblocking
A blocked drain can bring your household or business to a standstill. Eco Heat provides professional drain clearance and high-pressure water jetting across Kent, responding promptly to get your drainage flowing again. We clear blockages properly - scouring the pipe rather than simply pushing the obstruction further down - so the problem is far less likely to return.

FOR EXCELLENCE.
High-Pressure Water Jetting
High-pressure jetting is the most effective way to clear stubborn blockages and built-up grease, fat, scale and debris from drainage pipework. Unlike rodding alone, jetting scours the pipe wall clean, removing the material that causes recurring blockages and restoring full flow capacity.
Fast Response Across Kent
Blocked drains are disruptive and, in some cases, a health risk. We attend promptly across Kent, diagnosing the blockage quickly and clearing it with minimum disruption to your property. We leave the site clean and tidy once the work is complete.
Domestic & Commercial
We clear blocked drains for homeowners, landlords, letting agents and commercial operators. Whether it is a single blocked kitchen drain or a more complex drainage problem at a commercial premises, we apply the same thorough approach and professional standards to every job.
What Causes Blocked Drains?
The most common causes of blocked drains in domestic properties are fat and grease build-up in kitchen waste pipes, hair and soap scum accumulation in bathroom and shower wastes, and foreign objects - wipes, sanitary products and cotton buds - that should not be flushed. In external drainage, tree and shrub root ingress, collapsed or misaligned sections of pipe, and years of sediment accumulation are frequent culprits. In commercial kitchens, fat and grease are by far the leading cause of blockages and can solidify rapidly in cooler pipework downstream of the kitchen. Understanding the cause helps us choose the right clearance method and advise on steps to reduce the likelihood of the blockage recurring.
High-Pressure Water Jetting Explained
A water jetting unit delivers water at very high pressure through a flexible hose and specialist nozzle inserted into the drain. The forward-facing jets cut through the blockage while the rearward-facing jets propel the nozzle along the pipe and wash loosened debris back towards the access point for removal. The result is a pipe that is not just unblocked but thoroughly cleaned along its internal surface - removing the grease film, scale and organic matter that blockages cling to. Jetting is effective on a wide range of pipe materials and diameters, from domestic 100mm soil pipes through to larger commercial drainage runs.
What to Expect on the Day
When we arrive, we locate the blockage and assess the best access point. For straightforward blockages we will clear the drain and test the flow before leaving. For more complex or recurring problems, or where we suspect root ingress or a structural defect, we will discuss the findings with you and recommend the appropriate next step. We always test the drainage thoroughly before we leave and take away any material removed during the clearance. If you have a recurring blockage problem, regular maintenance jetting - particularly for commercial kitchen drainage - can prevent emergency call-outs and keep your drainage system working reliably year-round.
