Yes, provided it is carried out by experienced engineers who understand the limitations of different pipe materials. We routinely jet clay, cast iron, and PVC pipes across Bath's older housing stock, always calibrating the pressure to suit the pipe type and condition.

Commercial kitchens, restaurants, and takeaways usually benefit from quarterly jetting due to the higher volume of fats and grease entering the system.
