Ongoing construction at Wixams, just south of Bedford, means the drainage infrastructure takes quite a beating. Rainwater run-off drags heavy site slurry, sand, and cement wash straight into the surface water pipes, causing silt encrustations that can choke pipe capacity long before new build handovers.
Drainflow used van-mounted jetting units to clean construction drains. Operating at pressures exceeding 3,000 PSI from surface chambers, our high-pressure hoses blasted through compacted trade waste, stripped encrusted wash from the pipe walls, and flushed the lines clean without disrupting active trades or cutting into finished roads.
- 3,000+ PSI Trade Waste Descaling
- Drain Clearance
- No Disruption to Site Works or Paving

Emergency Drain Clearance
RECURRING TOILET & SEWER BACK-UPS
If plunging your toilet only works for a few days, then there’s an obstruction trapped in your sewer pipe. We run high-pressure drain jetting hoses directly from the external chamber into the foul drain. The pressure disperses compacted wet wipes, shifts grease deposits, and completely clears the drain so your toilets flush normally again.
Diagnostic Drain Inspection
TARGETED CCTV DRAIN INSPECTIONS
You can’t fix what you can’t see. Before we jet, our CCTV cameras travel the pipe network to identify the exact cause of the blockage. Once it’s cleared, we carry out a secondary CCTV survey to check that the pipe is spotless and give you proof of a fully restored system.

LIMESCALE & TREE ROOT REMOVAL
Tree roots look for moisture through tiny cracks in pipes, then rapidly fill the circumference with a fibrous mass. Combined with heavy scale or builder’s debris, water flow grinds to a halt. Our rotary cutters slice roots out and strip hard encrustations clean off the pipe walls, avoiding the disruption and cost of digging.
Drain Jetting Bedfordshire – FAQs
No. We work from external inspection chambers and manholes outside the property whenever possible. High-pressure water is only directed into the underground pipework, pulling waste downstream away from your home or business.
Yes. Our fleet operates self-contained diesel-driven jetting rigs with their own water tanks. We don’t need live power or domestic water supplies to support what we do.
Yes. We run an HD crawler camera through the drain system once we’ve completed the jetting to record full-bore flow and to confirm that the pipe is clear. Footage can be supplied for building control or client records.
We fit pulsating vibration nozzles and rotating chain flails to the hose. The hydraulic impact breaks dense fatbergs into slurry and batters apart encrusted limescale from pipes without damaging them.
We run water-propelled hydraulic root cutters that spin at high RPM. These slice intrusive tree root ingress flush with the joint face, clearing the bore completely so, if necessary, patches or liners can be installed.
Call-outs route directly to our Bedfordshire office on 01525 718500. We respond fast. confirm site location, assess the blockage type, and send out the nearest fully equipped jetting vehicle promptly.

Good afternoon. Just wanted to say our landlord of this property was very pleased with the outcome of unblocking the soil stack and pipes. He was impressed with the contractors professionalism and friendliness and how they conducted themselves with the work involved. It’s always nice to get feedback, thank you
