FAQs
What is commercial-grade jetting and how does it work?
Commercial-grade jetting—often called hydro jetting—uses a specialized machine that pumps water at pressures up to 4,000 PSI through a reinforced hose and custom nozzles. The pressurized water scours the full internal diameter of sewer or drain lines, cutting through grease, scale, soap, sludge, roots and other obstructions much more thoroughly than traditional cabling (snaking). The result is a pipe that is restored nearly to its original flow capacity without the use of harsh chemicals.
How can I tell if my Cumberland Gap business needs a jetting service?
Warning signs include slow floor or trench drains, frequent backups, foul odors in restrooms or kitchens, gurgling sounds, or recurring clogs that return shortly after snaking. High-volume facilities—restaurants, hotels, hospitals, schools, factories and multi-tenant buildings—are especially prone to grease and sediment buildup. If you experience any of these issues, or if it has been more than a year since your last preventative maintenance, scheduling a camera inspection and jetting is recommended.
Is hydro jetting safe for all types of commercial plumbing pipes?
Yes, when performed by trained, licensed technicians who understand proper pressure settings. Our crews adjust PSI and nozzle types to match the pipe material—PVC, cast iron, copper, clay or HDPE—to avoid damage while maximizing cleaning efficiency. We also perform a pre-service video inspection to confirm the pipe’s condition and use lower pressures in older or fragile lines. Hydro jetting is non-corrosive and environmentally friendly because it relies only on water.
How often should I have my commercial drains jetted?
Frequency depends on usage and the type of waste your facility produces. Grease-heavy operations such as restaurants typically benefit from quarterly jetting. Retail stores and office buildings may only require semi-annual or annual service. After an initial inspection, we provide a customized maintenance schedule to minimize emergencies and comply with local health codes in Cumberland Gap and Claiborne County.
Will jetting disrupt my business operations?
Downtime is minimal. A typical small commercial jetting job takes 1–2 hours, while larger facilities may require half a day. We can schedule service outside of peak hours—early morning, evenings or weekends—to avoid interfering with customers and staff. Our equipment is truck-mounted and self-contained, so we only need access to clean-out points and a nearby water source. Afterward, pipes can be put back into full use immediately.
How much does commercial jetting cost and do you offer emergency service?
Pricing is based on pipe diameter, length, degree of blockage, accessibility and whether video inspection is requested. Most routine maintenance jobs in Cumberland Gap range from $350 to $750, while severe blockages or large complexes may be higher. We provide free, on-site estimates before work begins. For urgent issues, our 24/7 emergency team can be on-site within 60–90 minutes, including nights, weekends and holidays.
