The Inverkeithing picture
Inverkeithing's older harbour-side housing sits on ageing combined drainage that struggles during heavy rainfall.
Tidal and high water-table conditions slow outfalls, so drains here back up in weather that inland streets shrug off. It is one of the reasons Inverkeithing work is rarely a straight rod-and-go.
Inverkeithing is largely made up of harbour-side older housing and combined drainage, which shapes how we approach high pressure water jetting here. It changes which tool comes off the van first, and that is usually what decides how long a job takes.
Letting agents and factors book us here as often as homeowners do, particularly around Inverkeithing High Street. Either way, arrival times to Inverkeithing are given honestly rather than optimistically.
Our route into Inverkeithing runs via the A921 from the yard in Pumpherston. Inverkeithing sits in the round we cover daily, so this is routine rather than a special trip.
We treat Inverkeithing — some 4 miles out from Dunfermline — as a core area rather than an outlying one. Inverkeithing sits in the round we cover daily, so this is routine rather than a special trip.
Jetting cleans a drain back to its full bore. Rodding can clear a path through a blockage; jetting removes what caused it, which is why it lasts far longer.
Kitchens and food premises get the most out of jetting, because fat coats the whole pipe wall rather than sitting in one spot. In Inverkeithing that usually shows up as a slow drain long before it stops completely.

How we do the work in Inverkeithing
Root cutting uses a rotating chain or milling head rather than chemicals, so nothing goes into the watercourse. It is why we quote after looking, not before, on Inverkeithing jobs.
Cameras are self-levelling with on-screen metreage, so the defect position is recorded to the metre for any later repair. Kerbside space is the only thing we ever really need in Inverkeithing.

Inverkeithing drainage FAQs
What causes most blockages around Fife?
Fat and wipes in domestic property, grease in food premises, roots and displaced joints in the older runs. We tell you which of those it was, not just that the drain is running again. Ask when you call and we will confirm it for your address.
Do you need access inside the property?
Usually not — most Inverkeithing work is done from an external chamber or gully. If internal access is needed we will say so on the phone so someone can be there. We are happy to talk it through on the phone first.
Can you deal with septic tanks and soakaways near Inverkeithing?
Yes, on the properties around Inverkeithing that are not on mains drainage. These are handled differently to sewer-connected systems and quoted separately. Most people in Inverkeithing ask this, so you are not alone.
Will jetting damage old pipework?
Not when the pressure is matched to the pipe. On fragile clay or thin plastic in Inverkeithing we drop the pressure and use rods or a milling head instead where that is the safer option. Ring 07427 195142 if you want that checked before booking.
Can jetting damage my drains?
Not when the pressure and nozzle are matched to the pipe. We assess condition first, which is why we camera anything we are unsure of.
How often should commercial kitchens be jetted?
Most busy kitchens benefit from a planned clean every three to six months, depending on volume.
Is jetting better than rodding?
For fat, silt and root growth, yes — rodding clears a channel, jetting cleans the pipe.
