FAQs
What is hydro-jetting and how does it clear clogged drains?
Hydro-jetting is a professional drain-cleaning method that uses a specialized machine to pressurize water up to 4,000 PSI and propel it through a flexible hose and nozzle. The high-velocity water stream scours the full inside diameter of the pipe, cutting through grease, sludge, mineral scale, tree roots, and other debris. Unlike mechanical cable snaking, which simply punches a hole through the blockage, hydro-jetting restores the pipe to near-original condition by washing away buildup along the entire line.
Is hydro-jetting safe for my home’s plumbing system?
Yes. When performed by licensed technicians, hydro-jetting is safe for most residential and commercial drain lines, including PVC, cast iron, copper, and clay tile. Our team first inspects the pipe with a video camera to verify its integrity and choose the right pressure and nozzle type. We avoid hydro-jetting on severely cracked or collapsed pipes and will recommend repair options instead. Proper pressure regulation and operator training ensure pipes are cleaned without damage.
How does hydro-jetting compare to traditional drain snaking?
Drain snaking (cabling) breaks up clogs mechanically but typically leaves grease and residue on the pipe walls, allowing new blockages to form quickly. Hydro-jetting, on the other hand, cleans 360° around the pipe, removes stubborn buildup, and flushes it out to the main sewer. This results in longer-lasting flow restoration and improved pipe health. Snaking is sometimes used for minor, localized clogs, but hydro-jetting is the preferred solution for heavy grease, scale, or root intrusions—and for preventative maintenance.
Can hydro-jetting remove tree roots from my sewer line in Winfield?
Absolutely. We equip our hydro-jetting units with root-cutting nozzles that slice through and flush out intruding roots. For larger or more fibrous root masses, we may pair jetting with mechanical root-cutting blades and then apply a foaming root inhibitor to slow regrowth. A post-jetting camera inspection verifies that the roots are gone and the pipe is clear from your home to Winfield’s municipal sewer or your septic tank.
What should I expect during a hydro-jetting service call?
1. Arrival & set-up: Our licensed plumber arrives at your Winfield property, explains the procedure, and protects surrounding work areas. 2. Video inspection: We run a camera to locate blockages and assess pipe condition. 3. Jetting: The technician selects the correct nozzle and water pressure, then jets the line from the cleanout, systematically moving upstream and pulling debris downstream to the main. 4. Final camera pass: We confirm the pipe is debris-free and show you before-and-after footage. 5. Clean-up & report: Equipment is removed, the area is cleaned, and you receive a digital service report and maintenance tips. Most residential jobs take 1–2 hours.
Do you offer hydro-jetting maintenance plans for Winfield homeowners and businesses?
Yes. Because restaurants, commercial kitchens, and older homes with mature trees are prone to recurring buildup, we offer scheduled hydro-jetting plans (quarterly, semi-annual, or annual). Subscribers get priority scheduling, discounted rates, and free follow-up camera inspections. Preventative jetting greatly reduces emergency backups, extends pipe life, and keeps your drains flowing reliably year-round.
