FAQs
What is hydro-jetting and how does it differ from traditional drain snaking?
Hydro-jetting is a drain-cleaning technique that uses a high-pressure stream of water—typically 3,000–4,000 PSI—to scour the inside walls of pipes. While a mechanical snake simply punches a hole through a clog, hydro-jetting removes grease, scale, tree-root remnants, and other buildup along the entire pipe diameter. The result is a more thorough clean that restores full flow capacity and helps prevent recurring blockages.
Is hydro-jetting safe for my home’s plumbing system in Powell?
Yes. When performed by licensed, experienced plumbers, hydro-jetting is safe for most residential and commercial piping, including PVC, copper, cast iron, and clay. Before we start, our technicians inspect the line with a video camera to verify its condition and choose the correct pressure and nozzle type. If we discover severely damaged or collapsed pipe sections, we’ll recommend repairs instead of jetting to prevent further harm.
What kinds of drain problems can hydro-jetting solve?
Hydro-jetting is highly effective for: • Grease and soap buildup in kitchen lines • Hair and product residue in bathroom drains • Scale and mineral deposits that narrow older pipes • Sand, silt, and sludge in outdoor or basement drains • Invasive tree roots (after mechanical cutting) • Recurring clogs that snaking can’t eliminate By clearing the entire pipe wall, hydro-jetting restores optimal flow and greatly reduces the chance of future blockages.
How long does a hydro-jetting service take, and will it disrupt my day?
Most residential hydro-jetting jobs in Powell take 60–90 minutes from setup to clean-up. Larger commercial lines or heavily obstructed sewers can take longer. Our team schedules appointments in convenient two-hour windows, and because hydro-jetting doesn’t require excavation, there’s minimal disruption to landscaping or flooring. You can remain in your home or business during the service, and water service is typically interrupted for only a short period.
How often should I have my drains hydro-jetted?
For typical homes, hydro-jetting every 18–24 months keeps main sewer lines clear and prevents emergency backups. Restaurants and businesses that handle heavy grease may benefit from quarterly or semi-annual jetting. After your first service, we’ll provide a personalized maintenance schedule based on pipe condition, usage patterns, and any local Powell municipal recommendations.
What does hydro-jetting cost and is it worth the investment?
In Powell, residential hydro-jetting usually ranges from $275 to $550, depending on pipe size, clog severity, and access points. While it’s more expensive than basic snaking, it delivers a comprehensive clean that saves money in the long term by reducing emergency calls, protecting pipes from corrosive buildup, and extending the life of your drainage system. We provide upfront, flat-rate pricing before any work begins and offer financing for larger commercial projects.
