FAQs
What is high-pressure jetting and how does it clear a clogged drain?
High-pressure jetting (sometimes called hydro-jetting) is a professional drain-cleaning method that propels water at up to 4,000 PSI through a specialized hose and nozzle. The focused jet of water scours the interior walls of the pipe, breaking apart grease, sludge, mineral scale, tree-root fibers, and other obstructions, then flushes the debris safely to the main sewer line. Because it relies only on water pressureâno harsh chemicalsâjetting restores the pipeâs full diameter and flow capacity while being environmentally friendly.
Is high-pressure jetting safe for my residential or commercial plumbing?
Yes. When performed by trained, licensed plumbers using the correct pressure for the pipe material and condition, hydro-jetting is safe for PVC, cast iron, copper, and even older clay lines. Our Cookeville technicians begin every job with a video inspection to verify pipe integrity and select the proper nozzle and pressure setting. This approach prevents damage while delivering a thorough clean that traditional cable snaking cannot match.
How do I know when to choose jetting over standard drain snaking?
Snaking (cabling) is effective for simple, localized blockages such as a small wad of hair or a paper clog. If you experience recurring backups, multiple slow drains, foul odors, or obstructions caused by grease buildup or invasive roots, jetting is the better solution. The high-pressure water not only removes the clog but also scrubs residue from the pipe walls, preventing near-term repeat blockages and extending the time between service calls.
Can hydro-jetting remove tree roots and hardened grease in my sewer line?
Absolutely. We use root-cutting jet nozzles designed to slice through fibrous intrusions and wash them downstream without chemicals. For hardened grease and fat deposits common in restaurant and household kitchen lines, our spinning nozzles emulsify the buildup so it can be rinsed away. After jetting, we perform a follow-up camera inspection to confirm that the pipe is clear and structurally sound.
