FAQs
What is hydro-jetting and how does it clear clogged drains?
Hydro-jetting is a drain-cleaning process that uses a specialized machine to propel water through a hose at pressures up to 4,000 PSI. The high-velocity stream scours pipe walls, cuts through grease, tree roots, scale, and other obstructions, and flushes the debris out of the line. Unlike traditional snaking, which only bores a hole through a clog, hydro-jetting cleans the entire diameter of the pipe, restoring full flow and helping prevent future blockages.
Is hydro-jetting safe for my home’s plumbing system?
Yes. When performed by a trained technician, hydro-jetting is safe for most residential and commercial drain lines, including PVC, cast iron, and copper. Before beginning, we inspect the line—often with a sewer camera—to confirm that the pipe is structurally sound and to select the correct pressure setting and nozzle design. This precaution ensures the jet stream removes buildup without damaging the pipe walls.
How do I know when I need hydro-jetting instead of a standard drain snake?
Hydro-jetting is recommended when you experience recurring clogs, multiple slow drains, foul odors, or gurgling sounds that point to heavy grease, mineral scale, or root intrusion. If a conventional snake provides only temporary relief or retrieves little obstruction material, it’s a sign deeper buildup remains and hydro-jetting is the more effective long-term solution.
Does hydro-jetting cost more than traditional drain cleaning methods?
While the upfront price of hydro-jetting is typically higher than simple snaking, it delivers a more comprehensive cleaning, reducing the need for repeat service visits. In Mulberry, residential hydro-jetting for a standard main line usually ranges from $300 to $600, depending on line length, severity of buildup, and camera inspection requirements. Because it restores pipe capacity and delays future clogs, many customers find it saves money over time.
Is hydro-jetting environmentally friendly?
Absolutely. Hydro-jetting relies solely on clean, pressurized water—no harsh chemicals are used—so it’s safe for your plumbing system, the municipal sewer, septic tanks, and the local Mulberry environment. Any debris flushed from pipes (grease, roots, sludge) is carried to the sewer or collected and disposed of according to local regulations.
How often should I schedule hydro-jetting for preventative maintenance?
Frequency depends on pipe material, usage, and the type of waste your plumbing handles. Restaurants and commercial kitchens in Mulberry may benefit from quarterly or semiannual hydro-jetting because of heavy grease accumulation. Most homeowners schedule preventive jetting every 18–24 months, or sooner if they notice recurring slow drains. After your initial service, our technicians can recommend a schedule tailored to your property’s specific needs.
