FAQs
What exactly is hydro-jetting and how does it clear my drain?
Hydro-jetting is a professional drain-cleaning method that forces water through a special nozzle at pressures up to 4,000 PSI. The water stream scours the full inner diameter of the pipe, breaking up grease, scale, soap residue, and even small tree roots. Unlike a traditional plumber’s snake, which merely punches a hole through the clog, hydro-jetting washes the blockage completely out of the line and restores the pipe to near-original flow capacity.
When should I choose hydro-jetting instead of standard snaking?
Hydro-jetting is recommended when you have recurring clogs, heavy grease buildup, sluggish kitchen or main lines, or when a snake has already been used and only provided temporary relief. It’s also ideal as a preventive maintenance service for restaurants, commercial kitchens, and homeowners who want to keep their sewer lines in peak condition. Before jetting, we perform a video inspection to confirm that the pipe is structurally sound and that hydro-jetting is the best solution.
Is hydro-jetting safe for older cast-iron or PVC pipes in Allardt homes?
Yes—when performed by licensed technicians. Prior to jetting, we run a camera through the line to look for cracks, joints in poor condition, or severely corroded sections. If the inspection shows the pipe can withstand the pressure, we adjust the PSI and nozzle pattern to match the pipe material (cast iron, clay, PVC, or ABS). For severely deteriorated pipes, we may recommend a gentler cleaning method or pipe rehabilitation instead.
How much does hydro-jetting cost in the Allardt area?
Prices vary with the length of the line, the severity of the blockage, and access points. Most residential jobs in Allardt range from $250 to $600, which includes a pre- and post-cleaning camera inspection and our 30-day clog-free guarantee. Commercial lines or heavy root intrusions may cost more. We provide a firm, written estimate before starting work, and there are no travel surcharges within the 38504 ZIP code.
How quickly can you respond if my drain is completely backed up?
We offer same-day service throughout Allardt. Calls received before noon are typically handled that afternoon; after-hours emergencies are covered by our 24/7 on-call crew for a modest after-hours fee. Our fully outfitted trucks carry multiple jetting nozzles and hoses, so we can tackle kitchen lines, bathroom stacks, or the main sewer in a single visit.
Will hydro-jetting keep my drains clear long term?
Because hydro-jetting cleans the entire pipe wall, it dramatically reduces how quickly debris can re-accumulate. Homeowners usually enjoy 1–2 years of clog-free service after a single jetting, while restaurants and commercial kitchens benefit from scheduled quarterly or semi-annual maintenance. We’ll tailor a preventive maintenance plan for your property, and we always supply video footage so you can see the before-and-after results for yourself.
