When jetting beats cabling
- The same stack backs up again a few weeks after being snaked
- Grease coats the inside of kitchen or food-court lines
- Scale has built up in old cast iron under the slab
- Fine roots keep returning at a joint in the lateral
- Sand and silt collect in a long, flat run
What we bring
- Jetter or sectional cable machine with root and grease heads
- Push camera with a sonde to mark depth
- Spare cleanout caps and test balls
Tested before we leave
- Camera run end to end after clearing
- Depth and distance of each defect marked
- Recording reviewed with you on screen
What is included
- Camera inspection to find the problem and check the pipe can take jetting
- Nozzle chosen for the job: penetrating, rotating or root-cutting
- Line flushed from the cleanout toward the city connection
- Second camera pass to confirm the pipe wall is clean
- Footage and notes saved for the building file
How we jet a building line
- Find and open the nearest accessible cleanout.
- Feed the hose upstream against the flow, then pull back slowly.
- Repeat passes until the water returning runs clear.
- Run fixtures on each floor to confirm the drainage.
- Close up the cleanout with a fresh gasket and wash down the area.
Things that limit jetting
Badly broken or collapsed pipe can be made worse by high pressure, which is why we camera first. Where the line is cracked or offset, we show you the footage and talk through spot repair, lining or replacement instead.
Good candidates for scheduled jetting
- Restaurants and food courts
- Low-rise apartment buildings with shared stacks
- Plazas with several tenants on one main
- Older buildings with long horizontal runs
