Pipe jetting in Tallinn and Harjumaa
Jetting cleans the pipework's walls across the full cross-section — unlike an auger, which just punches a hole through a layer of sediment. It's the right choice for recurring blockages and maintenance cleaning.
- Call-outs around the clock
- Price confirmed before the work
- An honest assessment of the problem
When to choose jetting
- A blockage recurs every few weeks or months
- A pipe serving a kitchen or dining area is greasy
- An apartment building's risers need planned maintenance
- A stormwater or drainage pipe is full of sediment
- Before a video inspection, so the pipework is clearly visible
How the work proceeds
We use a high-pressure unit with different nozzles: a cutting nozzle for grease and roots, a flail nozzle for sediment. Jetting is done through an inspection hatch or manhole, so no demolition inside the building is needed.
At the end of the job we check the flow and give an overview of the pipework's condition along with a recommendation on how often to jet in future.
Who jetting suits
- Housing associations for planned riser maintenance
- Restaurants and catering businesses maintaining a greasy drain
- House owners cleaning the run before a septic tank or absorption field
- Management companies planning maintenance across several properties
Equipment and methods used
- A high-pressure unit with interchangeable nozzles for different blockage types
- A cutting nozzle for removing grease and roots
- A flail nozzle for breaking up sediment in a longer run
- Hose extensions to reach distant inspection hatches and manholes
What affects the price of jetting
Price is affected by the pipework's length and diameter, access to inspection hatches or manholes, and the nature of the blockage — a grease layer clears faster than hardened sediment or roots. We usually price an apartment building's riser jetting as a whole, not per individual flat. The exact price is always confirmed before work starts.
Related work and next steps
If jetting reveals that the pipework is structurally faulty or rusted through, we suggest a pipework repair or replacement. Before or after a major jetting job it's often worth doing a video inspection too, to see the pipework's actual condition and plan future maintenance intervals.

Frequently asked questions
- Does jetting damage old pipework?
- We adjust the pressure to the pipe's material and condition. For cast-iron pipework in very poor condition we assess the situation before jetting and, if needed, recommend a video inspection.
- How often should an apartment building's sewer be jetted?
- Maintenance jetting every 1–2 years is usually enough; pipework connected to catering needs jetting more often.
- Does jetting replace pipework replacement?
- No, if the pipework is structurally faulty or rusted through, repair or replacement is needed. Jetting solves sediment and grease problems, not structural defects.
