FAQs
What is high-pressure hydro-jetting and how does it clear drains?
Hydro-jetting is a drain-cleaning method that sends water at 3,500–4,000 PSI through a specialized hose and rotating nozzle. The force of the water scours the full inner diameter of the pipe, cutting through grease, scale, sludge, tree-root hairs, and other obstructions. Because it relies solely on water, it leaves the pipe walls clean without harsh chemicals or mechanical blades.
When is hydro-jetting a better choice than traditional drain snaking?
Snaking bores a small hole through a blockage, which can restore flow temporarily but often leaves residue that quickly re-clogs. Hydro-jetting is recommended when: • The line has recurring clogs or slow drains. • Grease, soap scum, or mineral scale coats the pipe walls. • Roots have intruded into the sewer lateral. • You want a preventive maintenance cleaning before selling or remodeling a Caryville property. Because hydro-jetting removes buildup along the entire pipe, it delivers longer-lasting results than a snake.
Is hydro-jetting safe for older or PVC pipes in Caryville homes?
Yes—when performed by licensed plumbers who first inspect the line with a video camera. We adjust water pressure to match pipe material and condition, typically using lower PSI on fragile clay or corroded cast-iron lines. The process is safe for copper, PVC, ABS, and newer HDPE piping. If the inspection reveals a damaged or collapsed section, we’ll recommend repair instead of jetting to prevent leaks.
How long does a hydro-jetting service take, and will it disrupt my routine?
A standard residential drain or sewer line usually takes 60–90 minutes from camera inspection to final flow test. Larger commercial or multi-unit systems may require 2–3 hours. You can remain in your Caryville home or business while we work; water service is typically shut off only for 10–15 minutes while we jet the main line. We protect floors with drop cloths and clean up before leaving, so disruption is minimal.
What does hydro-jetting cost in Caryville and what affects the price?
Residential jobs usually range from $275 to $475. Factors that influence cost include: • Pipe length and diameter (kitchen branch vs. 4" main). • Severity of buildup or root intrusion. • Accessibility of the cleanout or need to pull a toilet. • After-hours or emergency scheduling. We provide a flat, upfront quote after the camera inspection, so you know the exact price before we start.
