FAQs
What is hydro-jetting and how does it clear my clogged drains?
Hydro-jetting is a professional drain-cleaning technique that propels water at pressures up to 4,000 PSI through a specialized hose and nozzle. The high-velocity stream scours the full internal diameter of the pipe, cutting through grease, scale, roots, and other stubborn obstructions instead of merely punching a hole through them. In Cumberland Gap’s older and newer plumbing systems alike, this method restores pipe flow to near-original capacity without harsh chemicals or invasive digging.
Is hydro-jetting safe for my home’s plumbing system?
Yes. When performed by our licensed Cumberland Gap power-plumbing technicians, hydro-jetting is safe for residential and commercial drain lines made of PVC, copper, cast iron, or clay. We begin each service with a video camera inspection to verify pipe integrity and select the correct pressure and nozzle for your line size and material. This prevents damage while still delivering a thorough clean.
How does hydro-jetting compare to traditional drain snaking?
A drain snake (or auger) bores a hole through a clog to temporarily restore flow, but it often leaves residue behind, allowing blockages to reform quickly. Hydro-jetting fully flushes debris off pipe walls, providing a longer-lasting solution. While snaking is useful for minor, isolated clogs, hydro-jetting is the preferred choice for recurring backups, heavy grease buildup, or roots in the line.
How often should I schedule hydro-jetting for preventative maintenance?
Frequency depends on usage and pipe condition. Restaurants and commercial kitchens in Cumberland Gap typically benefit from quarterly or semi-annual jetting due to heavy grease output. Homeowners usually schedule service every 1–2 years, or sooner if there are multiple occupants, mature tree roots nearby, or a history of slow drains. Our technicians can recommend a schedule after assessing your system.
What does a hydro-jetting service cost in Cumberland Gap?
Pricing starts around $250 for a straightforward residential line and increases based on factors such as pipe length, severity of buildup, and accessibility of clean-outs. We provide a flat-rate quote after a camera inspection, so you know the full cost before we begin. Preventative hydro-jetting often saves money by preventing emergency backups and costly pipe repairs.
How do I prepare and what can I expect on the day of service?
1) Clear the work area around the main clean-out or drain access point. 2) Make sure pets are secured and water supply is on. 3) Our team arrives in a fully equipped service truck, performs a camera inspection, and explains the plan. 4) We insert the jetting hose, apply the calibrated water pressure, and flush the line. 5) A post-jetting video confirms results. Most services take 60–90 minutes, and you can resume normal water use immediately.
