FAQs
What is high-pressure jetting and how does it clear drains?
High-pressure jetting (also called hydro-jetting) uses a specialized hose and nozzle that blasts water into the drain line at pressures up to 4,000 psi. The focused stream scours the full internal diameter of the pipe, cutting through grease, sludge, tree roots, mineral scale, and other obstructions. Unlike mechanical snaking, which only opens a path through the clog, jetting completely washes debris out to the main sewer, leaving the pipe walls clean and free-flowing.
When should I choose high-pressure jetting instead of traditional snaking?
Jetting is the preferred choice when clogs are severe, recurring, or caused by grease, sand, scale, or roots—materials a cable snake cannot fully remove. It’s also ideal for preventive maintenance on restaurants, commercial properties, or older homes in Sparta that experience frequent slow drains. If video inspection shows heavy buildup along the pipe walls, jetting will restore the line to near-original capacity.
Is high-pressure jetting safe for my plumbing system?
Yes. Modern jetting equipment allows the technician to match water pressure and flow to the pipe material and diameter. For sound PVC, cast-iron, or clay lines, properly performed jetting is safer than chemical cleaners or aggressive mechanical cutters. Before we jet, we inspect the line for cracks or collapsed sections—if the pipe is already compromised, we’ll recommend a repair instead of jetting.
How fast can you respond to an emergency blockage in Sparta?
Our Sparta-based crew is on call 24/7. For most emergency drain stoppages we arrive within 60–90 minutes of your call. Because the jetting unit is trailer-mounted and self-contained, we can begin clearing the line immediately—no waiting for municipal water or power hookups.
Will one jetting service prevent future clogs?
Jetting eliminates existing buildup, so many customers enjoy years of trouble-free service afterward. However, if your line is exposed to ongoing grease discharge, root intrusion, or mineral-heavy water, buildup can return. We offer optional maintenance schedules—typically every 6–12 months for commercial kitchens and every 2–3 years for residential lines—to keep drains flowing at peak capacity.
How much does high-pressure jetting cost and what affects the price?
In Sparta, residential jetting of a single main line generally ranges from $250–$450. Pricing depends on the pipe length, severity of blockage, accessibility (indoor clean-out vs. outdoor), and whether video inspection or root cutting heads are required. We provide upfront, flat-rate quotes before work begins, and there are no overtime fees for nights, weekends, or holidays.
