4,000 PSI Water Pressure
Unclog Drain & Rooter equipment generates up to 4,000 PSI powerful enough to cut through hardened grease, shred tree roots, and blast decades of scale from pipe walls in a single pass.
Unclog Drain & Rooter uses water pressurised up to 4,000 PSI to blast grease, roots, scale, and blockages completely from your pipes not just poked through. The most powerful, long-lasting drain and sewer cleaning method available in Nairobi.
Unclog Drain & Rooter hydro jetting uses a specialised nozzle inserted into your drain or sewer pipe, connected to a machine that pressurises water up to 4,000 PSI. The nozzle jets water simultaneously forward to break blockages and backward to propel itself through the pipe while scouring the entire pipe wall clean. Every centimetre of the interior surface is treated grease, scale, tree roots, biofilm, and debris are all flushed completely downstream. The result is a pipe restored to near-original bore capacity.
Unclog Drain & Rooter equipment generates up to 4,000 PSI powerful enough to cut through hardened grease, shred tree roots, and blast decades of scale from pipe walls in a single pass.
Unlike snaking which only punches a hole through a blockage, Unclog Drain & Rooter hydro jetting scours the complete interior circumference of the pipe leaving no grease film or root fragments to cause rapid re-blockage.
Unclog Drain & Rooter root-cutting nozzles spin at high speed and slice through root masses while simultaneously flushing all root debris downstream clearing root intrusion without excavation.
Because Unclog Drain & Rooter hydro jetting removes all build-up rather than just creating a temporary opening, results typically last 12 to 24 months compared to weeks for mechanical snaking alone.
Unclog Drain & Rooter accesses your pipe through existing cleanouts, inspection chambers, or toilet pans. No excavation, no broken tiles, no garden damage and nothing to restore afterwards.
Foul sewer odours originate from bacteria colonising organic matter on pipe walls. Unclog Drain & Rooter hydro jetting physically removes all organic build-up at the source eliminating smells rather than masking them.
Unclog Drain & Rooter selects the right nozzle for every job based on pipe diameter, blockage type, and material. Each nozzle is engineered for a specific cleaning task not a one-size-fits-all approach.
The standard workhorse. Forward-facing jets cut through grease, scale, and soft blockages while rear jets propel the nozzle through the pipe and flush debris downstream. Used on most residential drain cleaning jobs.
A rotating chain or spinning blade attachment that mechanically shreds tree roots while high-pressure water simultaneously flushes fragments. Clears root intrusion permanently without excavation.
A self-rotating nozzle that sprays 360 degrees continuously as it travels through the pipe. Ideal for heavily scaled or grease-coated commercial sewer lines where a full circumferential scour is critical.
Designed for flat-bottomed sewer channels and pipes with silt or sand accumulation. Flat angled jets loosen sediment from the pipe invert and flush it forward for complete removal.
Paired with hot-water jetting, this nozzle delivers sustained heat and pressure directly onto grease-impacted pipe walls in commercial kitchen drain lines and grease traps for complete FOG removal.
High-flow nozzle for large-diameter industrial and municipal sewer mains from 200 mm to 1,200 mm diameter. Generates maximum thrust for long pipe runs and substantial debris loads.

Unclog Drain & Rooter recommends hydro jetting when standard mechanical clearing is no longer enough. These are the signs that your drains need the power of high-pressure water cleaning.
If your drain has been cleared 2 or more times in the past year and keeps blocking, grease or root build-up on the pipe wall is trapping debris. Unclog Drain & Rooter hydro jetting removes all wall deposits permanently.
Mechanical snaking has created a temporary opening but the drain is still slow. This means significant grease or scale remains on the pipe walls. Unclog Drain & Rooter hydro jetting restores full bore.
Persistent sulphur or sewage smells indicate heavy organic build-up or biofilm on pipe walls. Unclog Drain & Rooter hydro jetting physically removes all organic matter the source of the smell not just masking it.
Commercial kitchen drains accumulate fats, oils, and grease that solidify on pipe walls over time. Unclog Drain & Rooter hydro jetting with degreasing nozzles is the only method that completely removes solidified FOG.
Roots cleared by mechanical cutting grow back rapidly unless the pipe is fully cleared. Unclog Drain & Rooter root-cutting jet nozzles remove the entire root mass and flush all debris, slowing regrowth significantly.
Properties with no drain service in 2 or more years benefit greatly from a proactive Unclog Drain & Rooter hydro jet clean before a blockage occurs avoiding emergency call-out costs and operational disruption.
Unclog Drain & Rooter uses hydro jetting as the primary cleaning method for most blockages because the results genuinely last longer. Here is an honest side-by-side comparison.

Honest answers to the questions Nairobi property owners ask before booking a hydro jetting service.
Unclog Drain & Rooter hydro jetting uses a specialised nozzle connected to a high-pressure pump that pressurises water up to 4,000 PSI. The nozzle is inserted through an existing access point and propelled through the pipe by rear-facing jets while forward-facing jets blast through blockages and scour the entire pipe wall. Grease, scale, roots, biofilm, and debris are all removed and flushed downstream. Unlike snaking, which only creates a temporary opening, hydro jetting cleans the complete pipe interior for results that last 12 to 24 months.
Unclog Drain & Rooter hydro jetting starts from KES 12,000 for a residential single drain line up to 25 metres. Full residential system jetting starts from KES 22,000. Commercial kitchen and restaurant jetting starts from KES 38,000. All pricing is flat-rate and agreed before work begins no call-out fees, no hidden extras. Evening and public holiday rates are slightly higher.
Yes, when carried out correctly. Unclog Drain & Rooter technicians assess pipe material and condition before selecting the pressure setting. We reduce pressure for older clay, concrete, or fragile pipes and may use a CCTV inspection to check pipe integrity before applying high pressure on ageing systems. PVC, HDPE, clay, concrete, and cast-iron pipes can all be safely hydro jetted at the appropriate pressure setting.
A standard residential single-line service takes 45 to 90 minutes. A full residential system jet clean takes 2 to 3 hours. Commercial kitchen and restaurant services take 3 to 5 hours depending on system size and grease accumulation. Industrial services are scoped individually. You receive a written service report the same day.
Drain snaking uses a rotating metal cable to push through a blockage and create a temporary opening. The build-up on the pipe walls grease, scale, roots is not removed, just disturbed. Unclog Drain & Rooter hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the complete pipe wall clean, removing all build-up and flushing it downstream. Results from hydro jetting typically last 12 to 24 months compared to weeks or months from snaking.
Unclog Drain & Rooter recommends hydro jetting every 18 to 24 months for residential properties as preventative maintenance. Properties with large mature trees benefit from annual jetting. Commercial kitchens should hydro jet main kitchen drain lines every 6 to 12 months. Restaurant grease traps require pump-out and cleaning every 1 to 3 months. We offer discounted maintenance contract rates for properties that commit to a regular schedule.
Yes. Unclog Drain & Rooter uses specialist root-cutting nozzles spinning chain cutters and blade nozzles that mechanically shred root masses while high-pressure water simultaneously flushes all root debris downstream. This clears root intrusion thoroughly without excavation. Following root jetting we recommend a CCTV inspection to assess whether the pipe needs relining to seal the root entry points permanently.
