FAQs
What is an eco-friendly jetter and how does it clear drains?
An eco-friendly jetter is a high-pressure water hose and nozzle system that uses only clean water—no harsh chemicals—to cut through grease, roots, soap, and other blockages. The pressurized water scours the full internal diameter of the pipe, flushing debris out to the main sewer line and leaving the drain clean without introducing toxins into the environment.
How is eco-friendly jetting different from traditional chemical drain cleaners?
Chemical drain cleaners rely on caustic or acidic reactions to dissolve clogs, which can corrode pipes, harm septic systems, and contaminate groundwater. Eco-friendly jetting uses mechanical water force instead, preserving pipe integrity, extending system life, and eliminating the risk of chemical runoff or fumes inside your home.
Is high-pressure jetting safe for older or fragile pipes?
Yes. Our technicians adjust pressure to match pipe material and condition. We inspect lines with a sewer camera first to confirm they can withstand jetting. When performed correctly, hydro jetting is safe for cast iron, PVC, copper, clay, and even older galvanized lines, often restoring flow more gently than augers that can scrape or gouge pipe walls.
What types of clogs or drains benefit most from eco-friendly jetting?
Hydro jetting excels at removing heavy grease buildup in kitchen lines, tree-root intrusions in sewer laterals, scale and mineral deposits in commercial drain stacks, and sand or silt in yard drains. It’s also ideal for preventive maintenance: a quick annual jetting keeps restaurants, apartment complexes, and homes free from unexpected backups.
How does eco-friendly jetting help the environment beyond avoiding chemicals?
Because jetters rely solely on water, they eliminate the production, transport, and disposal of chemical cleaners. Our modern equipment uses efficient pumps that minimize water consumption, and the process restores full pipe capacity, reducing the energy your plumbing system needs to move wastewater. Fewer emergency callouts also mean a smaller carbon footprint for service vehicles.
What should I expect during a service visit and how long does it take?
A typical residential job lasts 60–90 minutes. We start with a camera inspection, protect work areas with drop cloths, and locate the best access point. After jetting, we run a second camera pass to verify the line is clear and provide you with a digital video for your records. You’ll receive maintenance tips and a transparent invoice—no hidden fees or chemical surcharges.
