FAQs
What is precision hydro-jetting and how does it work on main sewer lines?
Precision hydro-jetting is a drain-cleaning method that uses a specialized nozzle to deliver water at 3,500–4,000 PSI through your main sewer line. The high-pressure stream scours pipe walls 360°, blasting away grease, scale, sludge, and small tree roots. Our Georgetown technicians insert the jetting hose through an existing clean-out or access point, monitor the process with a sewer camera, and work the nozzle slowly back to the entry point so the entire interior surface of the pipe is restored to near-original diameter.
When should I consider hydro-jetting instead of traditional cabling/snaking?
Choose hydro-jetting when you have repeated blockages, heavy grease buildup, foul odors, or multiple slow drains that point to a main line restriction. Snaking simply punches a hole in the clog; hydro-jetting removes the clog and the residue that causes it. For restaurants, older homes with cast-iron or clay pipes, and any property with mature trees near the sewer line, hydro-jetting provides a longer-lasting solution.
Is hydro-jetting safe for older clay or PVC sewer lines in Georgetown homes?
Yes, when performed by licensed professionals. Before jetting, we conduct a camera inspection to verify pipe integrity. If we find cracks or sections too fragile for high pressure, we adjust the PSI or recommend alternative repairs. Because the process uses only water—no harsh chemicals—it’s actually gentler on the environment and pipe materials than many store-bought drain cleaners.
Will hydro-jetting solve recurring tree-root intrusions in my main line?
Hydro-jetting cuts and flushes out fine, fibrous roots that have penetrated the pipe joints, giving you immediate flow restoration. For larger, woody roots, we pair jetting with a root-cutting nozzle. While jetting removes current roots, it can’t prevent future growth, so we may suggest a root-inhibitor treatment or trenchless pipe lining to seal joints and keep roots out permanently.
How much does professional hydro-jetting cost in Georgetown and what affects the price?
Typical residential main-line hydro-jetting runs $350–$650 locally. Factors include pipe length and diameter, severity of buildup, accessibility to a clean-out, and whether a post-jetting camera inspection or root treatment is required. We provide flat-rate, upfront pricing after the initial video assessment so there are no surprises on your invoice.
How quickly can your team respond to a main line blockage in Georgetown, and will service disrupt my water use?
We offer same-day service throughout Georgetown, with 24/7 emergency dispatch for full backups. Most hydro-jetting jobs take 60–90 minutes start to finish. We’ll ask you to avoid running water during the actual jetting cycle, but once we’re done you can resume normal use immediately—there’s no curing time or chemical odor to worry about.
