Drains and pipes can become clogged over time, causing serious damage, inconvenience, and large water or repair bills. The most effective method for clearing stubborn clogs from your sewer line is through hydro-jetting. This proven technique streams high-pressure water into your line, clearing debris and leaving your pipes clear.

Hydro-jetting may be appropriate in the following circumstances:

  • Tree roots
  • Clogs
  • Waste
  • Oil and grease

What is hydro-jetting? Hydro-jetting is similar to pressure washing. It pushes water through a nozzle at high pressure to clean sewer lines and remove debris clinging to the inside of your pipes. Hydro-jetting is ideal for clearing out older pipes with years of debris buildup and cleaning out pipes that may have collected mud and sand from cracks and fissures.

What are the benefits?

  • The force of the water removes even the toughest-to-reach debris.
  • Unlike chemicals and some power drain snakes, hydro-jetting will not damage your pipes.
  • By using different types of nozzle attachments, we provide a thorough sewer line cleaning.
  • Hydro-jetting not only removes solid blockages but also clears away sludge and mineral deposits.
  • It scours the entire sewer line, helping to prevent future debris attachment.

Pipes last a long time, but old or worn-down pipes can cause many problems for a house. Old pipes are more likely to clog, leak, or burst, and corroded pipes can displace minerals and other harmful materials into your water supply. If you suspect you need to replace your home’s pipes, don’t wait—especially if your home is older and you don’t know how long it’s been since the pipes were replaced.

1-Tom-Plumber will conduct a full survey of your plumbing system before making any recommendations. We take only the actions necessary to keep your plumbing functioning at 100%. If we recommend a total or partial replacement of your pipes, we work with you to determine the best course of action, considering your home, budget, preferences, and any logistical situations.

If neither cleaning the trap nor plunging clears a plumbing clog, the next weapon of choice is a drain auger (also known as a snake). This tool is a coiled spiral snake approximately 1/4-inch thick with a handle on one end, which works the opposite way a plunger does. A plumber will push the snake into the clog and crank it to drive the snake farther into the obstruction. While parts of the clog break up and flush through the drain, the snake helps access the clog so that it can be pulled out easier. Some snakes can fit as an attachment on an electric drill, giving it more power to force it through the clog.

Benefits of pipe snaking:

  • Tried and true method: It works and does a solid job on most clogs because plumbers have been using it for decades.
  • Easy on the pipes: It is an undisruptive procedure for your pipes, making it a great option for fragile pipes.
  • Tackles minor clogs easily: Snaking can easily get the job done for minor clogs and restore your drain.
  • Exposes plumbing dangers: Since a snake uses pressure to break through clogs, it can alert you to issues like tree roots in your pipes.
