Fort Wayne Indiana Hydro-jetting

Repairs Clogged Sewer Lines With Jetting

What is hydro-jetting?

Hydro-jetting is the process of using a specialized machine to push high-pressure water through pipes to get blockages out of sewer lines or pipes. We send the jet through whichever pipe causes you an issue. As the hose moves, it removes buildup, debris, roots, and other blockages.

One great thing about jetting is that it will not cause damage to the pipes during the removal of clogs. It is also a safe way to get rid of debris. Because of this, hydro-jetting can be used on corrugated tile, unlike augering, which can damage those types of drainage lines. Although many people are used to using a “snake”, jetting is a better option than the auger in many scenarios.

Jets can help with many blockage types. We use jetting machines to get rid of grease, limescale buildup, random debris, tree roots, or even foreign items in the lines, just to name a few. You do not need to know what is causing your blockage. Let us investigate the problem for you. We can get rid of a blockage by doing a combination of jetting, augering, and camera investigation.

Why is jetting a good solution?

J&S uses hydro-jetting as a safe and effective way to remove debris. We perform this technique to clean the total diameter of the pipe and remove any clogs or buildup. Jetting eliminates clogs fully. We can either pull the blockage out of the cleanout or move it onto the larger pipes of a city main that can handle the item. This is important because other techniques only break up the clog into small portions. Then they leave them behind inside the pipe, which will only temporarily solve the problem.

Another reason jetting is a good option is because it is safe for corrugated lines, in which augering cannot be used because of potential damage to pipes. We use the jet on the corrugate tile in yards and fields to safely remove debris.

Another advantage of the jet is its hose is long.  It is a solution for long distances of pipe up to 500 feet, while augers usually only cover short distances. This means that if the clog is far into your pipes, we can still reach it and break it up.

My yard drains are not working, who can fix my yard drains?

Usually, after a large rainfall, you will realize quickly if your drains are not working properly. Properties have drainage installed to rid rainwater or other natural runoff water and move it away from the house. This is great for when it is functioning, but it can be detrimental if they are not working properly. If blocked, or broken, water can pool outside, or worse, it can get into your home.

Your drainage could be malfunctioning for many reasons. One of the most common reasons is a clog in the line. Natural substances can cause clogs like roots, dirt, or rocks. Something can also cause them that should not be in the line. We find so many random objects in lines that you would not even believe. This could include anything from a toy, trash, an animal, or another item that mistakingly got into the line.

Another reason for flooding could be a break in the line. When we jet, this is apparent if rocks spill out of the cleanout. When we do a camera inspection, it will also show any breaks in the footage.

Whether it is a clog or a break, we do a camera inspection of your line. This shows us where the problem is located. Then we jet the line and get the flow of water moving again. If worse comes to worst, we can also excavate and repair broken pipes.

Can you jet sewer lines?

J&S can perform a hydro-jetting service on clogged sewer lines. If your house is on the city sewer and has backups, jetting might be an option for you. We jet from your house to the city sewer hook-up. J&S will have any blockages in your lines removed. We can also jet other lines around your home.

Although we can remove clogs from lines, it is important for you to prevent future clogs by not putting items down your pipes that should not be there. Do not flush feminine hygiene products, “flushable” wipes, diapers, clothing, or any other item that is not water or a normal amount of toilet paper. These will cause clogs in your line. Please research things to not flush or put down your drains if you are questioning a household habit that could cause issues in the drains. Good habits can help avoid the headache of a sewer issue.

Why won’t my toilets flush and why is water coming up into my shower?

There are no good words for that moment when you see sewage backing up into your shower. This situation needs immediate attention. Call us and don’t hesitate to get the solution started.

Backups in your home’s sinks, toilets, or showers are usually caused by a blockage. Some common items that cause blockages include hair, grease, food, sand, tree roots, or any other item.

We will have to diagnose the blockage to get your plumbing back in working order. Then we will perform a jetting (or auger) service. Finally, we will do a camera inspection of the line to make sure it is clear and flowing before we leave. We take care of the problem from start to finish.

How to get rock out of my pipes?

hydro-jetting is a great solution if you find rocks in your pipes, and need them removed. We use the jet’s high-pressure water to go into your pipe. This will pull out all the rock sitting in or blocking the pipe. We will continue this process until no more rock is pulled out, or until we find a break.

Why you have rocks in your pipes is another issue. If it just so happens that somehow rock was dropped into the pipe, jetting will solve your problem. However, if rock keeps getting pulled out of the line after we jet multiple times, we then perform a camera inspection. At this point, when we use the camera, it might show a break in the pipe and pinpoint the exact location. This break in the line would then need to be fixed. We can excavate and repair it to get it functioning properly again.

Why is my pond water too high and not draining properly?

Ponds, including retention ponds, that are at high levels and are not draining properly, usually have a blockage. Various things can cause a clog. Some common items that cause blockages include gravel, rock, sand, tree roots, animals, trash, or a foreign item.

J&S performs a jetting service to solve this problem. This stops the flooding and opens the drains back up to flow. Then we conduct a camera inspection of the line to ensure the lines are open and actively draining.

If there is a break in your line, we pinpoint the location and give you options for repairs. We can excavate to fix the underlying problem if needed.
