FAQs
What is hydro-jetting and how does it clear blocked drains?
Hydro-jetting is a professional drain-cleaning method that uses a specialized machine to propel water at pressures up to 4,000 PSI through a hose and nozzle. The high-velocity water stream scours the inside walls of pipes, cutting through grease, scale, soap buildup, sludge, tree roots, and other obstructions. Because it cleans the entire pipe diameter instead of just punching a hole through the clog, hydro-jetting restores full flow capacity and helps prevent future blockages in your Graysville home or business.
When should I choose hydro-jetting instead of traditional drain snaking?
Snaking (or cabling) is effective for simple, soft clogs near the drain opening, but it often leaves residue on pipe walls. Choose hydro-jetting when you experience recurring clogs, heavy grease buildup, root intrusion, or slow drains throughout multiple fixtures. It is also recommended before sewer-line video inspections to ensure clear visibility. If you own a restaurant, commercial kitchen, or an older property in Graysville with cast-iron lines, hydro-jetting provides the deep cleaning needed to keep the plumbing system reliable.
Is hydro-jetting safe for all types of plumbing pipes?
Yesâwhen performed by licensed plumbers who assess pipe condition first. Our technicians conduct a camera inspection to verify the integrity of PVC, ABS, copper, or cast-iron pipes before applying the appropriate water pressure and nozzle type. Pipes that are severely corroded or collapsed may require repair or replacement instead of hydro-jetting. In Graysvilleâs older neighborhoods, we adjust PSI to protect aging lines while still delivering a thorough clean.
How long does a typical hydro-jetting service take and will it disrupt my day?
Most residential jobs can be completed in 60â90 minutes, including the camera inspection, equipment setup, jetting, and final verification. Commercial lines or heavily obstructed sewers may take longer. Our local Graysville crew schedules convenient appointment windows and uses drop cloths and protective gear to keep your property tidy. You can remain in your home or business during the service; water may be shut off briefly, but disruption is minimal.
What kind of maintenance should I do after hydro-jetting to keep drains clear?
Following hydro-jetting, we recommend periodic enzyme-based drain treatments, avoiding excessive grease or harsh chemicals, and installing sink strainers to catch food scraps and hair. Restaurants and commercial kitchens in Graysville should schedule preventive hydro-jetting every 6â12 months, while most homeowners benefit from an annual camera inspection. Consistent maintenance extends pipe life and reduces emergency calls.
How much does hydro-jetting cost in the Graysville area and do you offer warranties?
Pricing depends on pipe length, accessibility, and severity of buildup, but residential hydro-jetting in Graysville typically ranges from $250 to $450. Commercial lines or deep sewer mains may cost more. We provide upfront, written estimates before work begins, and our hydro-jetting service includes a 90-day no-clog warranty on the treated line.
