FAQs
What is hydro-jetting and how does it clear clogged drains?
Hydro-jetting is a professional drain-cleaning method that forces high-pressure water—up to 4,000 PSI—through a specialized hose and nozzle. The focused water stream scours pipe walls, breaks apart grease, sludge, tree roots, and mineral buildup, then flushes the debris out to the municipal sewer or septic tank. Unlike cabling (snaking), which simply punctures a hole in the blockage, hydro-jetting completely cleans the pipe interior, restoring full flow and preventing rapid re-clogging.
When should I choose hydro-jetting for my Decherd home or business?
Consider hydro-jetting if you have slow drains, recurring clogs, gurgling toilets, foul odors, or backing-up floor drains. It is especially effective for restaurants, commercial kitchens, and older homes with cast-iron or clay pipes that accumulate heavy grease or scale. We also recommend hydro-jetting before pipe-lining or camera inspections, as a clean pipe ensures more accurate diagnostics and better adhesion of lining materials.
Is hydro-jetting safe for older or fragile plumbing pipes?
Yes—when performed by trained technicians. Before jetting, we inspect the line with a video camera to confirm structural integrity and identify weak spots. We then select the correct nozzle type, water pressure, and flow rate for your pipe material and diameter. For brittle clay or corroded cast-iron, we dial down the pressure and use pulsating nozzles that clean effectively without stressing joints. When done properly, hydro-jetting is safer than mechanical rooters that can scratch or crack pipe walls.
How long will the hydro-jetting service take and what will the process look like?
Most residential jobs take 60–90 minutes, including camera inspection, setup, jetting, and final flow verification. Commercial lines or severe root intrusions may require two to three hours. Our crew arrives with a self-contained jetting truck, locates an accessible cleanout, and places protective mats. After jetting, we run a second camera pass to show you the restored pipe condition and confirm debris removal. We finish by cleaning the work area and providing a written service report.
Why is professional hydro-jetting better than chemical drain cleaners or store-bought augers?
Chemical cleaners contain caustic agents that can corrode pipes, harm septic systems, and only dissolve soft clogs near the fixture. Consumer augers often miss grease rings and can damage porcelain. Hydro-jetting: • Cleans 360° of pipe walls, removing all buildup • Extends the life of your plumbing by reducing corrosive deposits • Prevents future blockages, lowering emergency calls • Is environmentally friendly—just water, no harsh chemicals • Saves money long-term because clean pipes operate efficiently and need fewer repairs.
How much does hydro-jetting cost in Decherd and do you back your work with a warranty?
Residential hydro-jetting typically ranges from $275 to $450 per main line, depending on pipe length, clog severity, and accessibility. Commercial lines start around $450 and vary with pipe diameter and grease volume. After an on-site evaluation, we provide a flat, upfront quote—no hidden fees. All hydro-jetting services include a 30-day clog-free guarantee; if the same line backs up within that period, we return and re-clean it at no charge. Extended maintenance plans and annual jetting packages are also available for added peace of mind.
