FAQs
What is high-pressure hydro-jetting and how does it clear my drains?
Hydro-jetting is a professional drain-cleaning technique that uses water pressurized to 3,500–4,000 PSI and delivered through a specially designed nozzle. The water stream blasts 360° inside the pipe, cutting through grease, sludge, tree roots, mineral scale, and other debris. Unlike snaking, which only punches a hole through the clog, hydro-jetting scours the entire pipe wall, restoring it nearly to its original diameter and improving long-term flow.
When is hydro-jetting the best option compared to conventional snaking?
Choose hydro-jetting when you have recurring or severe blockages, extensive grease buildup from kitchens, root intrusion, or scale caused by Crossville’s hard water. Snaking is effective for a single, localized clog, but hydro-jetting is preferred for commercial kitchens, multifamily buildings, main sewer lines, and any situation where you want a thorough, long-lasting clean rather than a quick puncture through the clog.
Is hydro-jetting safe for older cast-iron or PVC pipes in Crossville homes?
Yes—when performed by licensed plumbers who inspect the line first. We run a video camera through your drain to check for cracked, collapsed, or severely corroded pipe sections. If the pipe is structurally sound, we adjust the water pressure to a level that removes buildup without damaging the pipe material. For fragile sections, spot repairs or lower-pressure washing can be used instead.
How long does a hydro-jetting service take and will it disrupt my household or business?
Residential hydro-jetting usually takes 1–2 hours, including camera inspection and clean-up. Commercial jobs may run 2–4 hours depending on line length and severity of buildup. Because we only need access to a clean-out or drain opening, there’s minimal disruption. Water service remains on, and most customers in Crossville can resume normal use immediately after we finish.
Does hydro-jetting prevent future clogs or is it just a temporary fix?
A major advantage of hydro-jetting is its preventive power. By removing all residue—including sticky biofilm that traps new debris—it slows the accumulation of grease and sludge. Many restaurants schedule annual or semi-annual jetting to avoid emergencies. For homeowners, one hydro-jetting visit can keep main sewer lines clear for several years, especially when paired with sensible disposal habits and routine camera inspections.
