FAQs
What is hydro-jetting and how does it clear main line blockages?
Hydro-jetting is a high-pressure water cleaning process that sends water through special nozzles at up to 4,000 PSI. The focused stream scours the interior walls of your main sewer line, cutting through grease, tree roots, scale, and other debris, then flushes the loosened material out to the city sewer. Unlike snaking, which only punches a hole through the clog, hydro-jetting restores the full interior diameter of the pipe for long-lasting results.
When is hydro-jetting recommended for homes and businesses in Halls?
We recommend hydro-jetting when you experience recurring backups, foul odors coming from drains, slow drainage in multiple fixtures, or after a camera inspection confirms heavy grease or root intrusion. For restaurants, food-service facilities, and older homes in Halls with clay or cast-iron lines, hydro-jetting is often the most efficient way to restore proper flow.
Is hydro-jetting safe for older or fragile pipe materials?
Yes—when performed by trained technicians. Before we hydro-jet, we run a video inspection to verify pipe integrity. We adjust water pressure to suit the pipe material (PVC, cast iron, clay, or Orangeburg). If the line is severely deteriorated, we may recommend spot repairs or trenchless replacement instead. With proper pressure settings, hydro-jetting will not damage sound, structurally intact pipes.
How does hydro-jetting compare to traditional drain snaking?
Snaking breaks through a clog but leaves residue on the pipe walls, so buildup can return quickly. Hydro-jetting actually washes the entire circumference of the pipe clean, removing grease films, mineral scale, and roots. This thorough cleaning often eliminates blockages for years, reduces odor, and improves flow capacity. Although hydro-jetting costs a bit more up front, it typically saves money by preventing future emergencies and repeated service calls.
What warning signs suggest my main sewer line needs hydro-jetting?
• Multiple fixtures (toilets, tubs, floor drains) backing up at once • Gurgling sounds in drains when another fixture is used • Sewage odors in your yard or basement • Water pooling around the floor drain, especially after laundry or dishwasher cycles • Frequent need to plunge toilets or call for drain cleaning If you notice any of these issues in your Halls property, schedule an inspection promptly to avoid a complete sewer shutdown.
How often should preventive hydro-jetting be done in Halls?
For typical single-family homes, a preventive hydro-jetting every 3–5 years keeps the main line clear. Restaurants, commercial kitchens, and multi-family complexes in Halls often benefit from annual or semi-annual service due to higher grease and debris loads. After the first cleaning, our technicians can assess pipe condition and usage patterns to recommend the ideal maintenance interval for your specific property.
