Drains, sewers and backups

Cable machines bore a route through a blockage; jetters wash the entire bore of the pipe. For grease, sludge and soft scale that keep coming back, jetting is often the better tool.
How a jetter works
- A hose with a nozzle that sprays mostly backwards pulls itself along the pipe while forward jets break up the blockage.
- The backward jets scour the pipe wall and push debris toward the city sewer.
- Nozzle choice and pressure are matched to the pipe material and age.
Clues it is this job
- Kitchen sink backs up weeks after being snaked
- White fat clinging inside the trap arm
- Sluggish flow but no hard plug
- Sludge returning every season
When we do not jet
- Jetting a pipe that is already cracked or a clay line with open joints can make things worse.
- Fragile old cast iron with thin walls also needs care.
- We usually look with a camera first if we suspect the pipe is in poor condition.
Good candidates
- Restaurant-style grease buildup in a home kitchen line, long horizontal runs in semis and row houses, and lines that need clearing every few months are the jobs where jetting earns its keep.
Jetting does not repair a broken pipe. It cleans a sound one.
