FAQs
What is hydro-jetting and how does it clear my Andersonville drains?
Hydro-jetting is a professional drain-cleaning method that uses a high-pressure water stream—up to 4,000 PSI—delivered through a specialized hose and jetting nozzle. The pressurized water scours pipe walls, pulverizes clogs, flushes out grease, roots, and mineral scale, and restores full flow without harsh chemicals or invasive digging. It is especially effective for the older clay, cast-iron, and PVC lines commonly found in Andersonville homes and businesses.
Is hydro-jetting safe for all types of plumbing pipes?
Yes, when performed by our trained technicians, hydro-jetting is safe for most residential and commercial piping, including cast-iron, PVC, copper, and ABS. Before jetting, we inspect the line with a video camera to confirm structural integrity. If your pipe is severely damaged, we may recommend spot repairs or lining first. The adjustable pressure settings on our rigs let us tailor the force to the pipe material and condition.
How does hydro-jetting compare to traditional cable snaking?
Cable snaking bores a hole through the clog but often leaves residue on the pipe walls, allowing debris to accumulate again quickly. Hydro-jetting completely scours the entire diameter of the pipe, removing buildup, grease, sludge, and root intrusion. The result is a longer-lasting clean—many Andersonville customers go years without another blockage after jetting, whereas snaked lines may clog again within months.
Will hydro-jetting disrupt my landscaping or require digging?
No. Hydro-jetting is performed through existing clean-outs, roof vents, or pulled toilets, so there is virtually no need to excavate your yard or flooring. Our compact, truck-mounted rigs park at the curb, run a hose to the access point, and do all the cleaning internally. Your landscaping, driveway, and interior finishes stay intact.
How long does a typical hydro-jetting service take and what does it cost in Andersonville?
Most residential jobs wrap up in 60–90 minutes—including setup, camera inspection, jetting, and final video verification. Commercial or large sewer mains may take 2–3 hours. Pricing depends on pipe diameter, clog severity, and accessibility, but residential hydro-jetting in Andersonville usually ranges from $350 to $600. We provide upfront, flat-rate quotes after our camera inspection so you know the exact cost before we begin.
How can I tell if my drains need hydro-jetting rather than a basic cleaning?
Persistent slow drains, recurring backups, foul sewer odors, gurgling toilets, or multiple fixtures clogging at once often signal heavy grease, scale, or root buildup—issues a basic cable cannot fully solve. If you have had your line snaked more than once in a year, hydro-jetting is likely the permanent fix. Schedule our complimentary camera inspection, and we’ll show you real-time footage to confirm whether hydro-jetting is the right solution for your Andersonville property.
