FAQs
What is hydro-jetting and how does it unclog drains?
Hydro-jetting is a professional drain-cleaning method that uses a specialized machine to deliver water at pressures up to 4,000 PSI through a flexible hose and precision nozzles. The high-velocity water stream scours the entire interior diameter of the pipe, cutting through grease, sludge, tree roots, mineral scale, and other obstructions. Unlike mechanical snaking, which only punches a hole through the clog, hydro-jetting restores the pipe to nearly original capacity by washing debris completely downstream to the main sewer.
Is hydro-jetting safe for my plumbing pipes?
Yes—when performed by trained Reliance technicians, hydro-jetting is safe for most residential and commercial drain lines, including PVC, cast iron, copper, and ABS. Our crew first inspects the line with a video camera to confirm pipe integrity and identify weak spots. We then select an appropriate pressure setting and nozzle type to avoid damage. Hydro-jetting can actually prolong pipe life by removing corrosive buildup that would otherwise eat away at the pipe walls.
When should I choose hydro-jetting over traditional snaking?
Snaking is useful for quick relief of minor, soft clogs located near the fixture. Choose hydro-jetting when: • You experience recurring or multiple slow drains. • Grease, sludge, or scale buildup is suspected (common in restaurants and older homes). • Tree roots have infiltrated your sewer line. • You want a preventative maintenance cleaning instead of a temporary fix. Hydro-jetting not only clears the blockage but also cleans the pipe walls, drastically reducing the likelihood of future clogs.
How much does professional hydro-jetting cost in Reliance?
Pricing depends on pipe diameter, length, severity of blockage, and accessibility. In Reliance, typical residential jobs range from $300 to $600, while larger commercial lines or heavy root intrusions can run $600 to $1,200. Our quotes include camera inspection, hydro-jetting, and a post-cleaning video for your records. We provide upfront, flat-rate pricing so you know the total before we begin.
How long does the hydro-jetting process take and will it disrupt my home or business?
Most residential hydro-jetting jobs are completed in 1–2 hours, including setup and cleanup. Commercial or multi-line projects may take half a day. Water service can usually remain on except for the specific line being jetted. Our technicians use drop cloths, protective mats, and sealed clean-out ports to keep your property tidy. Noise is minimal, resembling a pressure washer running outside.
Can hydro-jetting prevent future clogs, and how often should it be done?
Because hydro-jetting scours the entire pipe wall, it removes residue that would otherwise trap debris and cause new blockages. Many restaurants and commercial kitchens schedule preventive hydro-jetting every 3–6 months. Homeowners with older sewer lines or significant tree root exposure often benefit from an annual or biennial cleaning. After inspection, we’ll recommend a maintenance interval tailored to your pipe material, usage, and vegetation conditions.
