Smarter than a standard jet vac tanker as it is optimised for Brighton industrial and urban site needs.
The vacuum tanker jetter has a combined 4m³ tank which has a moveable partition to offer maximum optimisation between waste and water.
A phenomenal jetting pressure is 160 Bar or 2300 psi and the full-scale industrial vacuum suction pulls waste through the 4-inch 30m hose to cleans and clear pipes to 450mm in diameter.
Our units can be optimised for places that standard combination units struggle with, notably on Brighton building and industrial sites as well as height-restricted sites around East Sussex.

Brighton Gully Emptying and Clearance
Drains and gullies at ground level throughout East Sussex require planned maintenance and cleaning. The solids carried by water through Brighton drainage systems are caught in the trapped gullies. These are designed specifically to do this to stop these solids passing through into East Sussex main drain system. To ensure that the system is in proper working order, specialist regular gully emptying is best practice. Call us for highly competitive rates in Brighton and beyond.
Brighton blocked drains are caused by all sorts of detritus, the restricted efficient free flow of water and leads to flooding. Our Brighton area vacuum tanker service will literally suck up waste from any East Sussex drain and then if required carry out high pressure water jetting to restore maximum flow.
Brighton Basement Flooding
Unfortunately, Brighton basement properties are susceptible to flooding, because they are simply at the lowest level and water only ever travels downhill!
Brighton basements are at risk from sewer leaks, storm drain overflows or surface water flooding caused by blockages, often without a moment’s notice.
Throughout East Sussex we offer a comprehensive emergency drainage service for all types of Brighton properties in the event of a flooding emergency.
Emergency Flood Removal across East Sussex
Brighton Flood Relief Emergency – Vacuum tankers are the best method for immediate flood water support. Vacuum tankers suck water and associated debris via a 4” hose in to our tanker and we take the liquid waste away and dispose at a licensed site
De-silting and gully sucking in Brighton – Debris are deliberately trapped by designed to catch solids before they can get into and build up in the main drainage system . The settled debris caught in the gully pot should be periodically emptied. Failure of maintenance is one of the main reasons of localised flooding in East Sussex. We remove silt from gullies with our jet vac combination to return the gully and associated Brighton pipework back to a serviceable condition.
Large bore East Sussex drains and sewers need industrial sized Jetters – Jet-Vac combi units are designed to be up for the job. Smaller units are very inefficient and considerably more expensive when compared to a tanker jetting. Focused high volume of water under controlled pressures efficiently flush debris out of Brighton pipework and cleanse to restore maximum flow.
No water for jetting on your Brighton site? – Subject to permissions we can fill the jetting tank with clean water from a nominated metered hydrant and attend East Sussex sites to enable jetting and cleansing works to be undertaken. We can do this as often is required to complete any contract subject to permissions and licensing from the Brighton local water company.

Unblocking a kitchen runaway.
"They arrived within the stated timeframe, the man explained the problem and how he would deal with it. The work was done swiftly and satisfactorily. Wouldn't hesitate to call them again if necessary or to recommend them to anyone else."
Unblock drain re kitchen sink
"Happy Drains sent Alex who was superbly focused and dedicated. He rapidly identified the blocked kitchen sink that had not been resolved by a plumber was a drainage issue (as suspected), found the drains, identified the correct one linked to the kitchen, sent a camera down to find the blockage, and rinsed it away with high pressure water jet. Took an hour, with a lot accomplished. No additional or unexpected charges. Very happy with their service and professionalism (given dealing with these sorts of issues can be a minefield of distrust)."
