FAQs
What is hydro-jetting and how does it benefit Madisonville commercial properties?
Hydro-jetting is a drain-cleaning method that uses a specialized nozzle to blast water at pressures up to 4,000 PSI through your plumbing lines. For restaurants, retail centers, and other Madisonville businesses, it quickly removes grease, scale, and debris that traditional snaking can leave behind. The result is faster flow, fewer emergency clogs, and reduced downtime for your operation.
Is hydro-jetting safe for the type of pipes found in my commercial building?
Yes. When performed by licensed plumbers, hydro-jetting is safe for cast-iron, PVC, copper, and even older clay or Orangeburg lines. We inspect your pipes via video camera first to verify structural integrity and select the correct pressure. Using the right nozzle and flow rate prevents etching or damage while thoroughly cleaning the pipe walls.
How often should a Madisonville business schedule hydro-jetting service?
Frequency depends on usage. Restaurants with heavy grease loads often benefit from quarterly or semi-annual jetting. Office buildings and retail stores may only need annual maintenance. After the first cleaning, we provide a custom schedule based on camera findings, local soil conditions, and your sewer history to keep lines clear year-round.
What’s the difference between hydro-jetting and traditional mechanical snaking?
Snaking bores a small hole through a clog, restoring minimal flow but leaving residue on the pipe walls that can lead to rapid re-blockage. Hydro-jetting scours the entire internal diameter, removing biofilm, grease, mineral scale, and tree-root remnants. This comprehensive cleaning extends the time between service calls and can restore pipes to near-original capacity.
Does hydro-jetting comply with Madisonville and Kentucky plumbing codes?
Absolutely. Our licensed technicians follow Kentucky Plumbing Code 815 KAR 20 and all City of Madisonville wastewater regulations. We capture and dispose of debris in accordance with local environmental guidelines, ensuring your business remains compliant and avoiding potential fines.
How should I prepare my facility for a scheduled hydro-jetting appointment?
1) Inform employees that water service may be interrupted for 1–2 hours. 2) Clear access to clean-outs, floor drains, or main sewer lines—usually in mechanical rooms or exterior clean-out ports. 3) If you run a restaurant, stop dishwashing 30 minutes prior so grease traps settle. 4) Provide a contact person onsite for walkthrough and post-jetting camera review. These steps help our crew complete the job quickly and minimize impact on your operations.
