What affects the cost of Main Line Sewer Jetting
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my main sewer line is the problem?
If you experience multiple slow drains, recurring clogs in various fixtures, or sewage backing up into toilets or bathtubs, it's highly likely the main sewer line is obstructed, especially in older homes with clay or cast-iron drains common in Arbor Lodge.
Can hydro-jetting damage my sewer pipes?
When performed by a licensed plumber using appropriate pressure and nozzle types, hydro-jetting is safe for most modern sewer pipes. However, if your pipes are severely compromised (e.g., collapsed or extensively cracked), the high pressure could exacerbate existing damage, which is why a camera inspection is crucial beforehand.
How often should I have my main sewer line jetted?
For most homes, annual or biennial jetting is recommended, particularly if you have mature trees near your sewer line or a history of recurring blockages. Homes with older clay or concrete laterals in western Oregon are especially susceptible to root intrusion from big-leaf maples and street trees.
What's the difference between snaking and hydro-jetting?
Snaking typically punches a hole through a blockage to restore some flow, but often leaves significant build-up behind. Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to thoroughly scour the entire pipe, removing all debris and leaving the pipe much cleaner, which helps prevent immediate recurrence of blockages.
