FAQs
What is high-pressure jetting and how does it clear commercial drains?
High-pressure jetting, also called hydro-jetting, uses a specialized pump to force water through a hose and nozzle at 3,000–8,000 PSI. The focused water stream scours the full interior diameter of the pipe, breaking up grease, sludge, roots, scale, and other debris, then flushes the residue to the main sewer. Because it cleans the entire pipe wall—not just a small opening—jetting restores flow capacity and significantly reduces the chance of recurring blockages.
Why is high-pressure jetting recommended for commercial properties in Greenback?
Commercial kitchens, grocery stores, apartment complexes, and industrial facilities in Greenback put heavier demands on their plumbing than most homes. Grease, food by-products, paper goods, and mineral scale accumulate quickly in high-use drain lines. Hydro-jetting provides the power needed to remove these tough deposits in large-diameter pipes, minimizes downtime, meets health-code requirements, and helps businesses avoid costly emergency backups or closed-door situations.
Can hydro-jetting damage my pipes or fixtures?
When performed by our licensed Greenback plumbers, hydro-jetting is safe for cast iron, PVC, ABS, copper, and most other commercial piping materials. We begin every job with an in-line camera inspection to verify pipe condition and choose the correct pressure and nozzle style. If we detect frail or collapsed sections, we’ll recommend spot repairs instead of jetting those areas. The controlled water pressure cleans without using harsh chemicals or abrasive mechanical cutters, so it actually extends pipe life rather than damaging it.
How often should my business schedule high-pressure jetting maintenance?
Frequency depends on the type of business and volume of waste. Restaurants may benefit from quarterly jetting, while office buildings often do well with annual service. After an initial cleaning, we’ll review camera footage and your usage patterns to develop a preventive maintenance plan that keeps lines clear year-round and complies with local Greenback health and safety ordinances.
What kinds of blockages can high-pressure jetting remove?
Hydro-jetting is effective against hardened grease, soap scum, food sludge, scale buildup, sand, sediment, tree roots, and even small construction debris. Specialized nozzles allow us to cut through roots, de-scale cast iron, or flush long runs of 4"–12" main lines. It is the most versatile solution for both soft and stubborn obstructions in commercial drain and sewer systems.
Is high-pressure jetting environmentally friendly and code-compliant in Greenback?
Yes. Jetting uses only clean water—no caustic chemicals—so there are no harmful residues entering the municipal sewer system or onsite septic tanks. Our equipment meets EPA standards, and all technicians follow Greenback municipal plumbing codes. Because jetting keeps pipes free-flowing, it also reduces the risk of sanitary sewer overflows, making it a sustainable choice for local businesses.
