FAQs
What is hydro-jetting and how does it clear a clogged drain?
Hydro-jetting is a professional drain-cleaning method that uses a specialized nozzle connected to a high-pressure water hose (up to 4,000 PSI) to scour the inside walls of pipes. The pressurized water breaks up sludge, grease, scale, tree roots, and other debris, flushing the loosened material out to the main sewer. Because it cleans the entire diameter of the pipe instead of punching a single hole through a clog, hydro-jetting restores maximum flow and helps prevent future blockages.
How can I tell if my home or business in Petros needs hydro-jetting instead of traditional snaking?
Conventional cable snaking is effective for soft obstructions near the fixture, but it often leaves residues on pipe walls. You may need hydro-jetting if you experience: (1) frequent, recurring clogs in the same drain line; (2) slow drains throughout multiple fixtures, suggesting a main-line obstruction; (3) heavy grease buildup in restaurant or commercial kitchens; (4) root intrusion identified by a camera inspection. Our technicians always perform a video inspection before recommending hydro-jetting to verify that the service will solve the problem.
Is hydro-jetting safe for older cast-iron or PVC piping systems?
Yes—when performed by trained professionals. Before jetting, we inspect the line with a camera to confirm structural integrity. We choose the correct pressure level and nozzle type for the pipe material and diameter. Although older, badly corroded pipes may require lower pressure or a different approach, most cast-iron, clay, ABS, and PVC systems handle jetting well. In fact, removing scale and corrosion can prolong the life of aging pipes by improving flow and reducing internal wear.
How often should I schedule preventive hydro-jetting in Petros?
Frequency depends on usage and the type of property: • Residential homes with moderate use typically benefit from a jetting service every 18–24 months. • Restaurants and commercial kitchens with high grease output often need quarterly or semiannual jetting. • Facilities troubled by tree roots may schedule annual jetting after root-cutting to keep lines clear. Our team can place you on a maintenance program, send reminders, and provide inspection reports so that you never experience an unexpected shutdown.
Can hydro-jetting remove tree roots and grease permanently?
Hydro-jetting cuts through small to medium root infiltrations and emulsifies grease, but it cannot prevent roots from regrowing or new grease from entering the line. For root issues, we pair jetting with root-inhibiting treatments or recommend pipe-lining where appropriate. For grease, we advise installing or servicing grease traps and adopting best kitchen practices. Regular maintenance jetting keeps both problems under control and extends the interval between major repairs.
