FAQs
What plumbing issues can a high-pressure water jetter resolve?
A high-pressure jetter is ideal for clearing stubborn blockages such as tree-root intrusions, grease build-ups, silt, and scale in sewer or storm-water pipes. The powerful water stream scours the pipe walls, breaking up debris and restoring full flow without the need for harsh chemicals or invasive digging.
Is high-pressure jetting safe for my older pipes?
Yes. Our technicians assess pipe material and condition before jetting. We use adjustable pressure settings—typically between 2,000 psi and 4,000 psi for residential lines—to ensure the force is strong enough to clear blockages but gentle enough to avoid pipe damage, even in older clay or earthenware systems common in Newcomb homes.
How fast can you respond to an emergency plumbing call in Newcomb?
We offer 24/7 emergency service with on-call plumbers stationed locally. Most customers in Newcomb receive a technician at their door within 60 minutes of booking, often sooner during normal traffic conditions. Our vans are fully equipped with jetters, CCTV cameras, and spare parts so we can resolve the issue on the first visit.
Will jetting provide a long-term solution or will the blockage return?
High-pressure jetting not only removes the immediate obstruction but also cleans the entire internal pipe surface, reducing future build-up. For root-related problems, we combine jetting with CCTV inspection to pinpoint intrusion points and recommend follow-up preventive measures such as root barriers or scheduled maintenance jetting every 6–12 months.
Do you offer CCTV drain inspections along with jetting?
Absolutely. After jetting, we insert a high-definition CCTV camera to verify the blockage is completely cleared and to inspect for cracks, misalignments, or root entry points. The footage is saved and provided to you, along with a written report detailing pipe condition and any repair recommendations.
What does high-pressure jetting cost and is there a call-out fee?
For Newcomb residents, our standard emergency call-out fee is waived between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. on weekdays. Jetting starts at $220 for the first hour, which covers setup, blockage removal, and disposal. After the first hour, billing is in 15-minute increments. We provide upfront, fixed quotes once we diagnose the problem, so you know the full cost before work begins.
