Highways Jet Vac Services for Roads, Drainage Networks & Infrastructure
AJS Environmental provides specialist highways jet vac services for roads, gullies, drainage systems and infrastructure sites where powerful jetting and vacuum recovery are needed.
Supporting Essex, London, Kent and Hertfordshire with CCTV-led drainage cleaning, silt removal, debris clearance and practical drainage support.
Highways drainage systems can quickly become affected by silt, debris, standing water, leaves, roots, surface run-off and general obstruction. When this happens, drainage performance can reduce, leading to localised flooding, blocked gullies, unsafe surfaces and avoidable disruption.
AJS Environmental delivers highways jet vac services using a practical combination of high-pressure water jetting and vacuum recovery. This allows drainage systems to be cleaned, cleared and supported without unnecessary excavation.
Where required, jet vac works can be combined with CCTV drainage surveys, highways drainage services, patch lining and planned maintenance support.
Why Highways Teams Use Jet Vac Support
- Powerful cleaning: High-pressure jetting helps loosen silt, debris and obstructions.
- Vacuum recovery: Waste, water and debris can be removed from gullies, chambers and drainage assets.
- Reduced disruption: Works can be planned around site access and lower-traffic periods.
- CCTV-led support: Surveys can confirm blockages, defects and post-cleaning condition.
- Infrastructure suitable: Ideal for roads, highways, commercial estates, councils and industrial sites.
What Are Highways Jet Vac Services?
Highways jet vac services combine high-pressure water jetting with vacuum recovery to clean and clear drainage systems connected to roads, infrastructure and commercial sites.
The jetting element helps break up and move material inside the drainage system, while the vacuum recovery element removes debris, water and waste from gullies, chambers and access points.
Not sure whether jet vac, jetting or CCTV is needed?
- If the issue is hidden, start with a CCTV Drain Survey.
- If the line is blocked or restricted, High-Pressure Jetting may be suitable.
- If silt, water or debris needs removing, Jet Vac Services are often the right choice.
Where Highways Jet Vac Services Are Used
- Blocked or restricted highways drainage systems
- Silted gullies and drainage chambers
- Standing water and surface drainage issues
- Pre-survey or post-survey drainage cleaning
- Commercial estates, highways and public sector sites
- Drainage preparation before patch lining or repair works

Our Highways Jet Vac Process
- Review access and drainage issue: We assess the site, drainage asset and operational restrictions.
- Jetting and loosening: High-pressure water jetting helps move silt, debris and restrictions.
- Vacuum recovery: Debris, waste and standing water are removed from access points or chambers.
- CCTV check where required: Camera inspection can confirm condition and remaining defects.
- Recommendations: We advise whether maintenance, repair, patch lining or further investigation is needed.
Where We Operate
AJS Environmental supports highways and commercial drainage networks across:
- Essex: highways, commercial estates and drainage infrastructure
- London: public sector sites, commercial drainage networks and live road environments
- Kent: transport corridors, estates, infrastructure and highways drainage
- Hertfordshire: commercial property portfolios, roads and managed drainage assets
If the drainage issue requires internal inspection, our CCTV drain surveys can help identify blockages, defects and repair requirements before further works are planned.
