FAQs
What is hydro-jetting and how does it clear a main sewer line?
Hydro-jetting is a professional drain-cleaning method that uses a specialized hose and nozzle to deliver water at pressures up to 4,000 PSI. The high-pressure stream scours the inside walls of your main sewer line, cutting through grease, sludge, roots, mineral scale, and other stubborn obstructions. Because it cleans the entire pipe circumference—not just a small hole through the clog—hydro-jetting restores full flow capacity and helps prevent recurring blockages.
When should I consider hydro-jetting for my Farragut home or business?
Hydro-jetting is recommended when you experience frequent backups, slow drains in multiple fixtures, gurgling toilets, or foul odors coming from your main line. It is also ideal after a video camera inspection confirms heavy grease buildup, root intrusion, or hardened scale that traditional snaking can’t remove. Many property owners schedule preventive hydro-jetting every 1–2 years to keep their main sewer line in peak condition.
Is hydro-jetting safe for older clay or PVC sewer pipes?
Yes—when performed by trained technicians, hydro-jetting is safe for most residential and commercial piping materials, including clay, cast iron, PVC, and ABS. Before we begin, we run a camera inspection to check for collapsed sections or severely weakened joints. Pressure settings and nozzle types are adjusted to match the pipe’s age and material, ensuring a thorough clean without causing damage.
How long does a typical hydro-jetting service take, and will it disrupt my day?
Most hydro-jetting jobs in Farragut are completed within 1–2 hours. This includes setup, a pre-cleaning video inspection, the jetting process itself, and a post-cleaning inspection to verify results. Your water service remains on, and you can usually stay in the building while we work. Because no harsh chemicals are used, there are no lingering odors or long cleanup times.
What does hydro-jetting cost in the Farragut area?
Pricing depends on the pipe diameter, length of the main line, and severity of the blockage. For most single-family homes, costs range from $300 to $600. Commercial properties or lines with extensive root removal may be higher. We provide an upfront, flat-rate quote after our camera inspection, so there are no surprises. Seniors, military personnel, and Farragut Chamber members qualify for additional discounts.
How can I keep my main sewer line clear after hydro-jetting?
You can extend the benefits of hydro-jetting by avoiding flushable wipes, grease, and large food particles; installing drain strainers; and scheduling annual camera inspections. For tree-root prone areas, we may suggest a bio-root maintenance treatment every six months. Finally, consider a preventive hydro-jetting plan every 18–24 months to maintain optimal flow and protect your plumbing investment.
