FAQs
What is high-pressure water jetting and how does it clear drains?
High-pressure water jetting is a drain-cleaning method that pumps water through a specially designed hose at pressures up to 4,000 PSI. The focused stream scours the interior walls of pipes, cutting through grease, sludge, roots, mineral scale, and other obstructions that traditional cable snaking often leaves behind. The debris is then flushed downstream to the main sewer or captured for disposal, restoring the full inside diameter of the pipe without chemicals.
Is water-jetting safe for my home’s plumbing system in Englewood?
Yes. When performed by a licensed Englewood plumber, water jetting is safe for PVC, cast iron, copper, and even older clay pipes. Technicians select the correct nozzle type and pressure based on pipe material and condition. Before jetting, they often run a camera inspection to confirm structural integrity. If any sections are too fragile, the plumber will recommend targeted repairs instead of jetting.
How does water jetting compare to traditional drain snaking?
A mechanical snake bores a small hole through a clog, allowing temporary flow, but it leaves residue on pipe walls that quickly re-accumulates. Water jetting scrubs the entire circumference of the pipe, removing almost all buildup for a longer-lasting solution. It also reaches further down the line, handles soft blockages (grease, soap) and hard obstructions (scale, tree roots), and is environmentally friendly because it uses only water—no harsh chemicals.
When should I schedule water jetting for my Englewood property?
Book a jetting service if you experience recurring slow drains, multiple simultaneous backups, or gurgling sounds after fixtures drain. Restaurants and commercial kitchens often use preventive jetting every 3–6 months to keep grease lines clear. Homeowners generally benefit from a preventive jet once every 18–24 months, but heavily used or older plumbing may need annual service. A camera inspection will confirm the optimal timing.
Will water jetting eliminate tree roots in my sewer line?
Water jetting with a root-cutting nozzle can slice through and flush out intruding roots without digging up your yard. However, because roots regrow, the service should be paired with a chemical root inhibitor or a long-term repair such as pipe lining if intrusion is severe. Your Englewood plumber will review video footage and recommend the best follow-up plan.
How much does high-pressure water jetting cost in Englewood, and is it worth it?
Residential jetting typically ranges from $275 to $550, depending on line length, clog severity, and access points. Commercial jobs can be higher. While the upfront cost exceeds basic snaking, jetting often saves money by preventing repeat blockages, emergency calls, and potential water damage. Many homeowners find that one comprehensive jetting pays for itself compared to multiple snaking visits over the same period.
