FAQs
What is hydro-jetting and how does it clear main-line blockages?
Hydro-jetting is a professional plumbing method that propels water at pressures up to 4,000 PSI through a specialized hose and nozzle. The high-pressure stream scours the interior walls of the main sewer line, cutting through grease, sludge, tree-root intrusions, and mineral scale that traditional augers often leave behind. Because it flushes debris completely out of the pipe instead of merely poking a hole, hydro-jetting restores the line to near-original flow capacity and helps prevent recurring clogs.
When should I choose hydro-jetting over traditional cable snaking?
Cable snaking is useful for simple, localized obstructions, but hydro-jetting is recommended when you experience frequent backups, slow drains in multiple fixtures, heavy grease buildup, or root infiltration. If an inspection with a sewer camera shows thick layers of residue or stubborn roots, hydro-jetting provides the thorough cleaning needed to solve the problem long-term. It’s also the preferred method before trenchless pipe lining, because the pipe interior must be completely clean for the liner to bond properly.
Is hydro-jetting safe for older or fragile pipes?
In most cases, yes. Before we hydro-jet any main line in New Market, we run a video inspection to assess pipe material, joint integrity, and the extent of corrosion. PVC, ABS, clay, and cast-iron pipes in sound condition handle the pressure well. If we detect cracks, severe scaling, or collapsed sections, we’ll adjust the pressure or recommend a different solution such as localized repair or pipe replacement to avoid damage.
How much does hydro-jetting a main sewer line cost in the New Market area?
Pricing depends on pipe diameter, length, the severity of buildup, and whether additional services like camera inspection or root-treatment chemicals are needed. For most residential properties in New Market, hydro-jetting typically ranges from $350 to $650. We provide a flat, upfront quote after the initial camera inspection, so you know the exact price before any work begins.
How long does a hydro-jetting service take and will it disrupt my household?
A standard residential hydro-jetting job takes about 60–90 minutes from setup to final camera confirmation. During this time, we recommend limiting water use, but there’s no need to leave your home and no excavation is required. Because the process is contained entirely within the existing pipe, lawns, driveways, and hardscaping remain undisturbed.
Can hydro-jetting prevent future clogs and how often should it be scheduled?
Yes. By stripping away grease films, soap scum, and root hairs, hydro-jetting resets the pipe to a nearly pristine state, significantly delaying new deposit accumulation. In typical residential use, we suggest preventive jetting every 18–24 months if you have a history of blockages, or every 3–5 years for routine maintenance. Commercial kitchens and high-grease environments may need service as often as every 6–12 months.
