FAQs
What is high-pressure hydro-jetting and how does it clear a clogged drain?
Hydro-jetting is a professional drain-cleaning method that sends water through a specialized hose and nozzle at pressures up to 4,000 PSI. The force of the water scours the interior walls of your pipes, breaking apart grease, soap scum, tree-root fibers, mineral scale, and any other debris. Unlike a traditional cable snake that simply punches a hole through a blockage, hydro-jetting restores the full interior diameter of the pipe, providing a long-lasting solution to tough or recurring clogs.
When should I choose hydro-jetting instead of conventional snaking?
Snaking is effective for simple, localized blockages such as a wad of hair near a bathroom trap. Hydro-jetting is recommended for tougher situations—recurring clogs, heavy grease buildup in kitchen lines, tree-root intrusion in the main sewer, or multiple fixtures backing up at once. If video inspection shows extensive buildup along the pipe walls or obstructions that a snake can’t fully clear, hydro-jetting is the preferred solution.
Is hydro-jetting safe for older or fragile plumbing lines?
Yes, when performed by trained technicians. Before hydro-jetting, we conduct a camera inspection to verify pipe material, age, and structural integrity. If we find severely corroded cast-iron, collapsed clay, or brittle PVC, we may adjust the water pressure to a safe level or recommend an alternate repair. Our Fayetteville team uses variable-pressure equipment and the correct nozzle to match your pipe’s condition, protecting your system while still removing buildup.
How much does hydro-jetting cost in Fayetteville?
Prices vary with pipe size, length, severity of buildup, and accessibility. Residential kitchen or laundry lines typically range from $250 to $400. Main sewer lines usually cost between $350 and $650. Commercial hydro-jetting—restaurants or multi-tenant buildings—can run higher due to longer pipe runs and grease accumulation. After a free on-site or video inspection, we provide a firm, upfront quote so there are no surprises on the final invoice.
How long does the service take and do I need to prepare anything?
Most residential hydro-jetting jobs are completed in 60–90 minutes. Larger commercial lines can take 2–3 hours. To prepare, clear a small area around the accessible cleanout or the fixture we’ll use to enter the line. Please keep pets and children away from the work zone. We handle the rest—including set-up, video inspection, jetting, and a final camera verification to show the cleaned pipe.
Will hydro-jetting prevent future clogs, and how often should it be done?
Because hydro-jetting removes all soft and hard buildup, it greatly reduces the likelihood of future blockages. For typical Fayetteville homes, one jetting every 18–24 months keeps drains flowing freely. Commercial kitchens and high-usage sewer lines often schedule quarterly or semi-annual maintenance. We can tailor a preventive maintenance plan based on your usage patterns, pipe material, and past clog history to keep your plumbing trouble-free year-round.
