FAQs
What is hydro-jetting and how does it clear my drains?
Hydro-jetting is a professional drain-cleaning method that uses a specialized hose and nozzle to deliver water at pressures up to 4,000 PSI. The high-velocity water stream scours the entire diameter of the pipe, breaking up grease, sludge, roots, mineral scale, and other debris, then flushes the waste downstream to the municipal sewer or septic tank. Unlike mechanical augers that simply punch a hole through a blockage, hydro-jetting restores the pipe to near-original capacity by thoroughly washing away buildup on the pipe walls.
When should I choose hydro-jetting instead of traditional snaking for my Seymour property?
Snaking is effective for simple, localized clogs caused by foreign objects or minor hair buildup. Hydro-jetting is the better choice when you have: • Recurrent or severe blockages in the same line • Heavy grease or soap scum buildup from kitchens or restaurants • Tree-root intrusion in sewer laterals • Slow-draining fixtures throughout the building • Preparation needs before a pipe-lining or camera inspection. Because hydro-jetting cleans the full pipe circumference, it offers a longer-lasting solution for chronic or heavy debris issues common in Seymour’s older clay and cast-iron sewer lines.
Is hydro-jetting safe for old cast-iron or newer PVC pipes?
Yes—when performed by licensed plumbers with the proper nozzles and pressure settings. Experienced technicians will: • Inspect the line first with a video camera to confirm structural integrity. • Select pressure appropriate for the pipe material (lower PSI for fragile clay or aging cast iron, higher PSI for sturdy PVC). • Use controlled nozzle angles that propel debris forward without damaging joints. For severely deteriorated or collapsed pipes, alternative repair methods will be recommended before hydro-jetting proceeds.
How much does professional hydro-jetting cost in the Seymour area?
Pricing varies with pipe size, length, and severity of buildup, but typical residential jobs in Seymour range from $350 to $600. Commercial lines or heavy root infestations may run $600–$1,200 due to extra labor and water usage. A camera inspection is often bundled or discounted when scheduled with the jetting service, so ask for package pricing to maximize value.
Will hydro-jetting prevent future clogs, and how long do the results last?
Because hydro-jetting removes virtually all residue inside the pipe, it slows down the re-accumulation of grease, soap, and sediment. Homeowners usually enjoy 1–3 years of clog-free performance, while restaurants often schedule preventive jetting every 6–12 months. Regular maintenance intervals, plus mindful disposal habits (no grease or wipes down the drain), will extend the time between service calls.
Do I need to prepare anything before your technicians arrive for hydro-jetting?
Preparation is minimal: 1) Clear access to the main clean-out, basement, or crawlspace entry. 2) Move any fragile items away from work areas. 3) Inform the plumber of known plumbing modifications or previous blockages. 4) Avoid running water or flushing toilets 30 minutes before appointment time to keep the line as dry as possible. Our crew will shut off water fixtures as needed, protect floors with tarps, and perform a post-service cleanup so your property is left just as we found it.
