FAQs
What is hydro-jetting and how does it clear main line clogs?
Hydro-jetting is a plumbing technique that uses a specialized nozzle connected to a high-pressure water hose—typically 3,000–4,000 PSI—to scour the inside of your main sewer line. The focused water stream cuts through grease, roots, mineral scale, and other debris, flushing them completely out of the pipe rather than just poking a hole through the blockage like traditional snaking. The result is a pipe restored to nearly its original diameter and improved flow capacity.
How can I tell if my Calhoun home or business needs hydro-jetting?
Warning signs include frequent backups in multiple fixtures, slow drainage after snaking, gurgling sounds from drains, foul sewer odors outdoors, and water pooling around clean-outs. Because Calhoun’s clay soils and mature tree roots often invade older sewer laterals, a video camera inspection is the quickest way to confirm whether hydro-jetting is necessary and pinpoint where the buildup or root intrusion is located.
Is hydro-jetting safe for older cast-iron or PVC pipes?
Yes, when performed by trained technicians, hydro-jetting is safe for most residential and commercial piping materials, including older cast iron and modern PVC. We adjust pressure and nozzle type to match pipe condition. Before jetting, we camera-inspect the line; if we find cracks or collapsed sections, we’ll recommend repairs rather than high-pressure cleaning to prevent further damage.
How often should I schedule hydro-jetting for my main line in Calhoun?
For typical households, hydro-jetting every 18–24 months prevents heavy buildup and root re-growth. Restaurants or facilities that handle large volumes of grease may require service every 6–12 months. After the first cleaning, we’ll assess pipe condition, usage patterns, and regional factors (like tree density) to develop a maintenance schedule that keeps your line flowing reliably.
What happens during a hydro-jetting service visit?
1) We locate and access the main clean-out. 2) A sewer camera is inserted to evaluate pipe integrity and identify problem areas. 3) The hydro-jetting hose with a directional nozzle is fed through the line, blasting water in both forward and reverse to scour the walls. 4) Debris is flushed to the city main or vacuumed out. 5) A post-jetting camera inspection verifies that the pipe is clean and undamaged. Most residential jobs in Calhoun take 1–2 hours start to finish, and service can resume immediately afterward.
Why choose a local Calhoun precision hydro-jetting specialist instead of standard drain snaking or chemical cleaners?
Hydro-jetting provides a longer-lasting solution because it removes the entire obstruction and scrubs pipe walls clean, reducing future buildup. Snaking only clears a small path, and chemicals can corrode pipes and harm Calhoun’s water table. Our local team understands regional soil conditions, common pipe materials, and municipal codes, ensuring the job is done safely, efficiently, and in compliance with city regulations.
