FAQs
What is hydro-jetting and how does it clear drains better than traditional snaking?
Hydro-jetting uses a specialized high-pressure water hose and nozzle that sprays in multiple directions to scour the entire interior diameter of the pipe. While a cable snake only punches a hole through the clog, hydro-jetting removes grease, sludge, scale, roots, and other buildup from every side of the line, restoring full flow capacity. The process is powerful yet safe for sound pipes, making it the preferred long-term solution for stubborn or recurring blockages in New Market homes and businesses.
Is hydro-jetting safe for older or fragile plumbing in my New Market property?
Yes—when performed by trained technicians, hydro-jetting is safe for most residential and commercial plumbing, including many older cast-iron or clay systems common in New Market. Before beginning, our crew inspects the line with a sewer camera to confirm structural integrity and select the correct pressure (usually 1,500–4,000 psi for household lines). If we spot weak joints or severe corrosion, we may recommend lower pressure settings or alternative methods to avoid damage.
How often should I schedule hydro-jetting service?
Frequency depends on usage and the type of material entering your drains. For typical residences, a preventive hydro-jetting every 18–24 months keeps lines clear of grease and soap scum. Restaurants, commercial kitchens, and multi-family buildings in New Market often benefit from quarterly or semiannual service because of higher grease and food-particle loads. After your first jetting, we’ll evaluate pipe condition and recommend a maintenance interval tailored to your property.
Will hydro-jetting stop tree roots from invading my sewer line?
Hydro-jetting is highly effective at cutting and flushing out intruding roots, but it doesn’t kill the roots outside the pipe. After clearing, we typically apply a foaming herbicide treatment or suggest installing a root-resistant liner to inhibit regrowth. Annual camera inspections and maintenance jetting can also catch new root activity early and prevent blockages before they disrupt service.
What should I expect during a hydro-jetting appointment in New Market?
1) Arrival & setup: Our licensed team arrives in a fully equipped hydro-jetting rig and explains the procedure. 2) Inspection: We run a video camera through the line to identify blockage type and assess pipe health. 3) Jetting: We insert the nozzle via a clean-out and blast high-pressure water until the pipe walls are clean and flow is restored. 4) Post-inspection: A final camera pass confirms results. 5) Cleanup & report: We tidy the area and provide a digital video file plus maintenance tips. Most residential jobs take 60–90 minutes, and water service can be used immediately afterward.
How much does hydro-jetting cost in the New Market area, and is it covered by insurance?
Residential hydro-jetting typically ranges from $275 to $525 in New Market, depending on line length, severity of blockage, and accessibility. Commercial lines or extensive root cutting may cost more. Standard homeowner insurance generally does not cover routine maintenance, but it may cover damage caused by sudden pipe failure; check your policy for details. We offer up-front, flat-rate quotes and financing options to make the service affordable.
