Is hydro jetting right for you?
Signs a Cable Isn't Enough
Most clogs need only a cable, but jetting makes sense when:
- Clogs come back months after snaking
- Grease coats the kitchen line
- Roots or heavy buildup showed on camera
Our faith, our standard
Straight Answers, No Upsell
We believe honest work honors God. Here is what that looks like.
A First Clog Gets a Cable
A first clog usually needs only a cheaper cable. We save jetting for lines that keep backing up.
We Won't Jet a Bad Pipe
Jetting won't fix a break or sag, and could worsen it. We'll show you why on camera.
Plumbing for a Greater Purpose
A portion of every job goes to a local ministry.
What to expect on jetting day
Before We Arrive
We usually camera the pipe first to check it's solid, then price it in writing.
During the Visit
We jet from the cleanout, so no water or flushing for an hour or two.
When We Leave
We test the drains and can show you the clean pipe on camera.
How hydro jetting works
Scours the Whole Pipe, Not Just a Hole
A cable punches through; a jetter's high-pressure nozzle scours the whole pipe wall.
- Washes out grease, sludge and scale
- Cuts roots a cable leaves behind
- Clogs take longer to come back
When we won't jet
- Pressure can damage cracked, collapsed or rusted pipe
- Roots return unless the bad joint is repaired
Snaking vs Hydro Jetting
| Snaking | Hydro Jetting | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Less | More |
| Cleans | A path through | Whole pipe wall |
| Grease | Partly | Fully |
| Old pipes | Safer | Check first |
| Lasts | Shorter | Longer |
Hydro Jetting FAQs
How much does hydro jetting cost?
Most jobs run $325 to $875, depending on line length, access and buildup. Any camera look first is priced up front too.
Can hydro jetting damage my pipes?
On a healthy pipe, no. On a cracked, collapsed or corroded pipe it can, so we camera it first.
How long do the results last?
Longer than snaking, since the walls get clean. Roots can return through a bad joint, and grease returns if you keep pouring it down.
Do you jet septic lines?
We jet a sound house drain pipe, but don't pump or service septic tanks. If the tank is full or failing, we'll send you to a septic company.
Is it messy?
Usually not. We work from an outdoor cleanout when possible, and lay drop cloths for inside drains.
