Can You Repair the Drain Yourself?
If you own a pressure washer and appropriate safety equipment, you may be able to complete smaller-scale drain jetting and unblocking yourself. If you find that the blockage is smaller in size, and located near the entrance to the drain, then it may be worth pressure jetting or removing the blockage yourself. However, beware that there may be a larger blockage further inside the pipe.
If you do try to undertake drain unblocking yourself, you also run the risk of dislodging the blockage in a bad way, and worsening the problem as a whole by creating a larger blockage further into the drain – creating a bigger problem which will require a costly solution.

Because the typical domestic water jet is not as powerful as the industry standard drain jets in use by the professionals at Coastal Drains, you may find that pressure washers and other domestic water jets do not provide sufficient force to clear a blocked drain yourself.
