FAQs
What is high-pressure water jetting and how does it open blocked drains?
High-pressure water jetting involves forcing water through a specialized hose at pressures up to 4,000 PSI. The focused stream scours the inside walls of sewer and drain lines, cutting through grease, roots, scale, and other obstructions while flushing the debris out to the main sewer. Unlike mechanical augers that only punch a hole, jetting restores the full interior diameter of the pipe, delivering a longer-lasting fix.
Is jetting safe for my older clay, cast-iron, or PVC pipes?
Yes. A trained technician measures pipe material, diameter, and condition before selecting the proper pressure and nozzle. For fragile or worn pipes, we dial the pressure down and use wide-angle nozzles that clean gently while still removing buildup. Because jetting uses only waterâno harsh chemicalsâit is less damaging than many store-bought drain cleaners.
What kinds of blockages can high-pressure jetting remove?
Jetting clears virtually any soft or moderately hard obstruction, including kitchen grease, soap scum, food waste, mineral scale, heavy sludge, paper products, tree roots up to 2" thick, and small construction debris. For Harrison homeowners troubled by seasonal root intrusion or restaurant grease traps, jetting is the most reliable removal method.
How fast can you respond to a jetting emergency in Harrison?
We maintain on-call crews inside Westchester County, allowing us to reach most Harrison addresses within 60â90 minutesâ24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our vans arrive fully equipped with water tanks, jetting machines, and CCTV inspection gear, so we can diagnose and clear the blockage on the first visit.
How does high-pressure jetting compare to traditional cable snaking?
Snaking breaks through clogs but leaves a layer of residue on pipe walls, so grease and roots quickly regrow. Jetting, on the other hand, cleans the entire circumference of the line, pushing debris downstream instead of pulling it back. This thorough cleaning typically extends the time between service calls and can even restore flow to near-new condition.
Will jetting prevent future clogs, and how often should it be done?
Because jetting removes all buildup, it greatly reduces the likelihood of recurring blockages. For residential lines, one preventive jetting every 18â24 months is usually sufficient. Restaurants or commercial kitchens in Harrison may benefit from quarterly service, while properties with heavy tree cover often opt for annual jetting combined with root-inhibitor treatments.
