The Alternative to Sewer Line Replacement!

Removes What Cable Rootering Can't!

Typically, if you have a clogged sewer line or drain line you call someone to come and "rooter" out your lines. They send a steel cable down your line with a cutter bit and pierce the blockage, allowing the fluids to drain. Whew, all is right with the world now, right? Wrong. Rootering a line does not take care of all of the problem. You see, when a line backs up it typically allows the sludge and paper to coat to the walls of the pipe, where it dries because the fluid level is no longer high enough to flush it down the line. This dried debris becomes one of your next problems because it will "catch" paper and debris as it's pushed down the line.

But the roots are all gone....Think again. Unless the technician can get a 4" cutter bit down your 4" line, the answer is almost always "No." Not only that, but over time running a steel cutter bit down your line can take a toll. On many occasions we have witnessed a sewer line with a hole blown right through the side. A result of excessive rootering.

What is the solution? Hydro-Jetting! What is hydro-jetting? It's a process where specialized equipment is used to remove the roots and the debris through high pressure spray nozzles attached to a feed line. The line is inserted the same way that a cable rooter is inserted. The difference is what happens next.

There are different nozzles that are used for different applications. Basically, the nozzle is inserted until it reaches the blockage in your line. At that point, the jets are turned on and water jets out of the nozzles at up to 4,000 PSI, penetrating the blockage and allowing the line to drain. Once the blockage is penetrated, the technician will switch nozzles and send the unit down the entire length of your pipe, shearing tree roots off at the point where they entered the line, as well as jetting the pipe walls down to a state where they almost look like new. No more roots or dried debris that act as paper or debris catchers.

A camera inspection can be performed to show the customer the before and after results that this process provides to you and your lines. Take a moment to visit the video page and see for yourself how your lines will be flowing more freely!

How long will it last? If your line has a long history of root penetration but the rest of the line is in fairly good shape, this process can be performed on a periodic maintenance basis and you could get another 10 or 20 years of use out of your line. Far cheaper than what the cost is to replace your line, which could reach several thousand dollars!
