Ultra High Pressure Drain Cutting & Hydro Drain Jetting Experts
What is high-pressure drain cutting?
Robotic high-pressure water jetting focuses blasts of highly compressed water, pressurised and concentrated through a dedicated nozzle, to unblock concrete and other hard stuff, dislodging it safely and accurately from the pipe, freeing blockages and cleaning out drains and sewer pipes. These tools have the ability to cut through almost anything, breaking down build-ups of all kinds, from silt and soil to the removal of concrete and other blockages. A UHP high-pressure water jet cuts quickly and cleanly through a wide range of materials without any blades to be sharpened or sanitised and without the use of harmful chemicals. Our Drain-Jet Robotics (powered by Mauerspecht) system is designed for the large-scale removal of drain blockage issues such as limescale, failed liners, concrete ingress, mass roots, etc.
How Does Datomics' High-Pressure Drain System Cutting Work?
The high-pressure cutting system operates at up to 1500 bar and 24 l/min with constant CCTV monitoring and full control over the directional jet. It is also capable of working in pipework from 225mm up to 1000mm. We have found this system is up to 10x more effective than standard milling works when it comes to large-scale cutting works and removing blockages from drains and lateral pipes.
Nationwide Providers of Ultra-High-Pressure Cutting.
Datomic only uses certified and fully trained engineers on our high-pressure hydrojet projects. With these drain blockage clearance tasks commanding deployment of pressures up to 23,000 psi to efficiently strip away deposits from drains and pipe walls before flushing out debris to avoid further build-up and remove encrustation, restoring free-flowing drainage conditions is possible. High-Pressure Hydro Water Jetting can also be used as part of a regular maintenance programme, ensuring that previously problematic drains and pipework are kept clean and clear of obstructions. Rather than just simply removing the blockage, hydro jets also clean the drains.
When would be the best deployment of hydro-drain cutting?
• Blockages – Hydro drain cutting is effective for clearing blockages in lateral connections and drain linings caused by obstructions.
• Maintenance – hydro high-pressure cutting can prevent future blockages and maintain drainage system functionality.
• Repair – Hydro high-pressure cutting is used for drainage repair services, and down-branch pipe cutters used in conjunction with pipe linings
Top Benefits of High-Pressure Water Jet Hydro-Drain Cutting :
• Cleaning, not just unclogging: Hydro-jetting cleans the internal pipe for a more long-lasting resolution.
• Accurate and Consistent Cleaning ability to clear underground drain pipes without having to dig up
• Powerful Residual Removal ability to penetrate deeper into built-up debris, and flush out roots, rocks, minerals, and any other obstructions
• Removing
Bacteria removes not only the grease, soap, and scum buildup but also any bacteria that settles in your drains
• More economical and environmentally safe Hydro-Jetting is so detailed that it secures your pipes against clogs for several years
UHP Ultra High Pressure Waterjet Drain Cutting Services
Hydro Drain Blockage Cutting technology uses a 360-degree directional, powerful water beam to break down drain blockages and remove concrete, cement and other hard pipe build-ups. This is highly effective for dislodging stubborn deposits and organic mass that may be restricting the drain quickly and safely. Hydro-drain cutting differs from standard drain jetting; the hydro-cutting technique is ultra-high-powered (up to 23,000 psi), and whilst extremely powerful, it has been developed so that it will not damage the drain itself.
Our formidable high-pressure drain-cutting robots can travel into all drains and sewers, including egg profiles, for mass obstruction removal. We are proud to have the exclusive rights to this unique technology in the UK. Bruno and Bruno Mini (along with our milling robots) make us a one-stop shop for all aspects of robotic cutting within the drainage industry.
Key Features or Benefits of High-Pressure Cutting:
• Hydro-drain cutting is non-invasive, which allows for pipe repairs without digging up the earth or disrupting property.
• Hydro Drain Cutting unblocks the toughest materials, including concrete drain blockages and reduces the risk of drain breakage
• Hydro Drain Cutting uses CCTV and is time-efficient in sourcing and removing blockages compared to traditional methods.
• Hydro-drain cutting runs on ultra-high pressures, allowing hydro-cutting tools to blast through the toughest of materials.
• Hydro-drain cutting is highly efficient; faster removal of drain blockage results in fewer labour hours, making the process more cost-effective.
UHP Remote Drain Cutters

The original robot to utilise the Drain-Jet Robotics technology. For ultra-high-pressure drain jetting, up to 1500 bar and capabilities in drains and sewers of all shape profiles from 300mm to 1000mm
UHP Remote Mini Drain Cutter

For clearing smaller drainpipe blockages and build-ups, the same power, technology, and capabilities in a smaller robot. Our drain nimbler is great for when access is restricted or limited in a smaller diameter system. Travels in drains of all shape profiles from 180mm to 450mm.
Debris Removal Using Hydro Jetting in Drains
High-pressure jetting, also known as hydro-drain jetting, is an effective drain-clearing service. Drain hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to break down and remove hard blockages from the drain/sewer system.
What is involved in hydro-jetting drain blockages ?
Hydro-drain jetting is carried out by placing a high-pressure cutter down the drain pipeline directly where the blockage is positioned. Ultra-high-pressure water is then directed down the hose at high speed, creating a force strong enough to break the blockage into small pieces, allowing it to be flushed through the drain or sewer pipeline.
Hydro drain jetting is a highly flexible drain unblocking technique which can also be used as part of regular drain maintenance. Hydro/water jetting can be used to remove scale build-up, limescale, concrete and other residue, minimising the possibility of future blockages.

What is UHP Drain Cutting?
Ultra-High Pressure (UHP) abrasive cutting is a precision and diverse cutting solution utilising water mixed with abrasive material propelled at pressures up to 23,000 PSI.
Datomic has been involved in a range of drain clearing and lateral pipe blockage jobs where slurry, cement or concrete has entered the drainage system during the construction process. This can cause major issues when trying to hand over a new build project and can lead to expensive, time-consuming and intrusive excavations. Our system removes the pain of excavating and restores flow to the system in the quickest and most-convenient way.
Using high-pressure hydro water jetting can be a speedy, effective way of keeping drains, drainage and sewer pipes free-flowing. This is a highly efficient process for clearing a limescale drain blockage, cutting out root ingress, removing drain obstructions such as concrete, or de-silting large bore pipes. High-pressure hydro water jet cutting is often a good solution alongside the range of other services we offer, making us a one-stop service for your blocked drain issues.
