FAQs
What is high-pressure jetting and how does it open clogged drains?
High-pressure jetting—also called hydro jetting—uses a specialised nozzle attached to a hose that blasts water at pressures of 3,000–4,000 PSI. The jetter is fed through the clean-out or directly into the drain line. As the nozzle moves forward, rear-facing jets propel it while front-facing jets cut through blockages. The water scours the full pipe diameter, flushing away grease, sludge, scale, tree roots, and other debris and restoring the line to near-original flow capacity without chemicals.
Is hydro jetting safe for my residential or commercial plumbing system in Delano?
Yes. When performed by our licensed technicians, hydro jetting is safe for PVC, cast iron, clay, and copper lines commonly found in Delano homes and businesses. We begin with a video camera inspection to verify pipe integrity and choose the correct pressure and nozzle type. Because hydro jetting relies solely on water, it avoids harsh chemicals that can corrode pipes, making it safer than many alternative methods.
How can I tell whether I need high-pressure jetting instead of a traditional cable snake?
Snaking is ideal for soft, localized clogs. Hydro jetting is recommended when: (1) multiple fixtures are backing up, indicating a main-line obstruction; (2) recurring clogs suggest heavy grease or scale on pipe walls; (3) tree roots have invaded clay or cast-iron lines; or (4) you want a preventive, thorough cleaning before a remodel or property sale. Our technician can perform a camera inspection to confirm which method will be most effective and economical.
Will hydro jetting get rid of tree roots and long-term grease buildup for good?
Hydro jetting cuts and flushes out small to moderate root intrusions and completely removes grease, soap, and mineral scale. For severe root penetration, we may pair jetting with a root-specific nozzle or follow up with a foaming root inhibitor. After treatment, scheduling preventive jetting every 12–24 months and addressing damaged sections with trenchless lining will help keep roots and grease from returning.
How much does high-pressure drain jetting cost in Delano, and what influences the price?
Most residential jetting jobs in Delano range from $275–$550. Pricing varies based on: (1) pipe size and length, (2) severity and type of blockage, (3) ease of access to clean-outs, (4) need for camera inspection or root inhibitor, and (5) after-hours or emergency service. We provide flat, upfront quotes before work begins, so there are no surprises.
