FAQs

What is hydro-jetting and how does it clear stubborn drain clogs?

Hydro-jetting is a professional drain-cleaning method that sends a high-pressure stream of water—usually 3,500–4,000 PSI—through specialized nozzles to scour the inside walls of your pipes. The water cuts through grease, soap scum, sludge, scale, and even small tree roots, flushing the debris completely out of the line. Unlike snaking, which only punches a hole in the blockage, hydro-jetting restores the full internal diameter of the pipe, leaving it almost like new.

Is hydro-jetting safe for older or PVC plumbing lines?

Yes—when performed by trained technicians. Before we hydro-jet any drain in Jasper, we run a video camera through the line to verify that the pipe is structurally sound. We then adjust pressure and nozzle type to match the pipe material (cast iron, clay, PVC, etc.) and condition. If cracks or severe deterioration are found, we recommend repair options instead of hydro-jetting to prevent damage.

When should I choose hydro-jetting over traditional drain snaking?

Hydro-jetting is ideal when you experience recurring clogs, slow main-line drains, heavy grease buildup, mineral scale, or root intrusion. Snaking often provides temporary relief but leaves residue that quickly re-accumulates. Restaurants, commercial kitchens, and homes with frequent backups benefit from hydro-jetting because it cleans the pipe walls completely, dramatically extending the time between service calls.

How much does professional hydro-jetting cost in the Jasper area?

For most residential main-line drains in Jasper, hydro-jetting ranges from $350 to $600. Pricing depends on the length and diameter of the pipe, severity of the blockage, accessibility of cleanouts, and whether a pre- or post-service camera inspection is needed. We always provide a flat, upfront quote so you know the exact cost before work begins.

Will hydro-jetting damage my landscaping or require digging?

No. Hydro-jetting is performed through your home’s existing cleanout access or, if necessary, a small temporary access point. The equipment remains above ground, and all debris is flushed into the municipal sewer or septic system. There’s no excavation, no chemicals, and virtually zero impact on your yard or the environment.

How long do the results of a hydro-jetting service typically last?

Because hydro-jetting removes all buildup rather than just clearing a path, homeowners can expect their drains to stay clear for one to five years or longer, depending on usage habits. Commercial kitchens may schedule preventive hydro-jetting every 6–12 months. Avoiding grease dumping, using drain strainers, and scheduling periodic camera inspections will help maximize the time between cleanings.
