FAQs
What is hydro-jetting and how does it clear clogged drains?
Hydro-jetting is a drain-cleaning method that uses a high-pressure water hose fitted with special nozzles to scour the interior walls of pipes. Water is released at pressures up to 4,000 PSI, which cuts through grease, sludge, tree roots, and mineral scale, then flushes the debris out of the line. Unlike snaking, which only punches a hole through the blockage, hydro-jetting cleans the full pipe diameter, restoring maximum flow.
Is hydro-jetting safe for my home’s plumbing system in Flintville?
Yes. When performed by a licensed plumber who adjusts pressure for your specific pipe material and condition, hydro-jetting is safe for PVC, cast iron, copper, and even older clay lines common in some Flintville homes. The technician first inspects the pipe with a video camera to verify integrity and chooses the right nozzle and pressure to avoid damage.
How can I tell if my drain problem needs hydro-jetting instead of regular snaking?
Hydro-jetting is recommended when you have recurring clogs, slow drains in multiple fixtures, heavy grease buildup, or root intrusion in the sewer lateral. If snaking provides only temporary relief or if a camera inspection shows thick residue on pipe walls, hydro-jetting is the most effective, long-term solution.
Will hydro-jetting remove tree roots that have invaded my sewer line?
Absolutely. Specialized root-cutting jet nozzles slice through roots and flush them away. After jetting, we often apply a foaming root inhibitor to discourage regrowth. For severe root infiltration, we may schedule periodic maintenance jetting or discuss trenchless pipe lining options to prevent future intrusion.
How long does a typical hydro-jetting service take and what does it cost in Flintville?
Most residential jobs take 1–2 hours, including setup, video inspection, jetting, and final camera confirmation. Pricing in Flintville typically ranges from $300 to $600, depending on pipe length, diameter, severity of blockage, and access. We provide a firm, upfront quote after the initial camera inspection.
Is hydro-jetting environmentally friendly compared with chemical drain cleaners?
Yes. Hydro-jetting uses only clean water—no caustic chemicals—so it won’t harm Flintville’s groundwater, septic systems, or municipal treatment facilities. By thoroughly cleaning pipes, it also reduces the need for repeated service calls and chemical usage, making it a greener, more sustainable choice.
