FAQs
What is high-pressure jetting and how does it clear clogged drains?
High-pressure jetting (also called hydro-jetting) uses a specialized hose and nozzle to blast water into your drain lines at pressures up to 4,000 PSI. The force of the water scours pipe walls, cuts through grease, roots, scale, and other stubborn blockages, and flushes debris completely out of the system. Unlike snaking, which only punches a hole through the clog, jetting restores the full internal diameter of the pipe.
Is high-pressure jetting safe for my pipes?
Yes. When performed by trained technicians, hydro-jetting is safe for residential, commercial, and industrial piping. Our Bean Station plumbers assess pipe material, age, and condition before selecting the correct pressure and nozzle type. We avoid fragile lines, adjust pressure for PVC vs. cast-iron, and perform a camera inspection when needed to ensure no damage occurs.
How do I know if my drain problem requires jetting instead of a regular snake?
Choose hydro-jetting if you have recurring clogs, slow drains in multiple fixtures, heavy grease buildup, sewer odors, or tree-root intrusion. Snakes are fine for minor obstructions, but they cannot fully remove thick sludge or roots. If you have already snaked the line and it re-clogs quickly, jetting is typically the next step to achieve a long-term fix.
Will hydro-jetting disrupt my home or business operations?
Downtime is minimal. Most residential jobs in Bean Station take 1–2 hours, and we can schedule service around your business hours to avoid interruptions. The process is contained within the plumbing system, so there is no excavation, no mess in living areas, and no harsh chemicals. Water usage is moderate—usually less than running a garden hose for the same amount of time.
How often should I have my drains jetted?
For typical homes, preventive jetting every 18–24 months keeps sewer lines free of buildup. Restaurants and commercial kitchens may need quarterly or semi-annual service due to heavy grease. After we complete a job, we provide a tailored maintenance schedule based on pipe condition, usage, and any root issues specific to properties in the Bean Station area.
What does high-pressure jetting cost in the Bean Station area?
Pricing depends on the length and size of the line, accessibility, and severity of the blockage. Most residential jetting jobs range from $250 to $450. We offer free on-site estimates, transparent flat-rate pricing, and discounts for repeat maintenance plans. Because jetting prevents repeat clogs and costly repairs, many customers find it saves money over time.
