FAQs
What is hydro-jetting and how does it fix main line issues?
Hydro-jetting is a professional drain-cleaning method that sends water pressurized up to 4,000 PSI through a specialized nozzle. The high-velocity stream scours the entire inner diameter of your main sewer line, breaking up grease, soap buildup, tree-root hair, sludge, and other obstructions that cabling alone can’t remove. For Decatur homeowners, this means a truly clean pipe that restores full flow capacity and helps prevent recurring blockages.
Is hydro-jetting safe for older clay or cast-iron pipes common in Decatur?
Yes—when performed by a licensed plumber who evaluates pipe condition first. We run a video camera inspection to check for collapsed sections or severe corrosion. If the line is structurally sound, hydro-jetting is safe and even beneficial because it removes corrosive deposits. If we find fragile spots, we adjust pressure or recommend spot repairs instead of full-force jetting.
How fast can you respond to a main-line emergency in Decatur?
Our Decatur-based crew is on call 24/7. In most ZIP codes (30030, 30032, 30033) we can arrive within 60–90 minutes. Because our trucks are pre-loaded with water tanks, jetters, and video equipment, we can diagnose and begin hydro-jetting on the first visit—often restoring service the same day.
What does hydro-jetting cost for a typical home in Decatur?
For residential mains up to 100 ft, prices usually range from $350 to $650. The exact cost depends on pipe length, severity of blockage, and access points (cleanout vs. pulling a toilet). Before any work starts, we provide a flat-rate quote that includes camera inspection and a post-jetting video so you can see the cleaned pipe.
How do I know I need hydro-jetting instead of simple snaking?
Repeated clogs in multiple fixtures, gurgling noises, foul sewer odors, or backups during heavy rain suggest a main-line restriction that snaking may only poke a hole through. Hydro-jetting is recommended when: 1) you’ve snaked the line within the past year, 2) camera shows heavy grease or sludge, 3) tree roots return quickly, or 4) you want preventive maintenance before selling your home.
Do I need to prepare anything before the technicians arrive?
Little preparation is required. Keep pets secured, clear a path to the cleanout or lowest fixture, and avoid running water one hour before our arrival to let the line drain down. We handle the rest: protecting floors, performing a camera inspection, and cleaning up afterward. You can stay in the home during the service, and water can typically be turned back on immediately after jetting is complete.
