Hydro Jetting in Nashville, TN

Hydro Jetting · Nashville, TN

High-pressure water that scours the whole pipe wall

Hydro jetting cleans a drain or sewer line with a stream of high-pressure water. The jetting hose goes into the line, usually through a cleanout. Its nozzle sprays water against the pipe wall and scours off grease, scale, sludge and roots. The loosened buildup then washes down the line toward the sewer main.

Stop The Drip is a plumber in Nashville serving La Vergne and Middle Tennessee. We use hydro jetting when a line keeps clogging or a drain cable cannot clear it. Call or text (615) 723-2488, and we look at the job and put the quote in writing.

When hydro jetting beats cabling a drain

A drain cable spins a cutting head into the clog and breaks it apart. That opens the line again, but the cable does not carry the debris out. Hydro jetting does both jobs. It scours the pipe wall and flushes the buildup down the line.

That makes hydro jetting the better fit for a line that clogs again soon after it was cabled. It also suits lines with heavy grease or roots in the joints.

A single clog in one sink or tub is usually a job for drain cleaning with a cable. We pick the method after we hear how the line has been acting.

What a hydro jetting service visit looks like

We start by asking what the drains have been doing and which ones back up. One slow sink points to its own branch line. Several drains backing up at once point to the main sewer line.

Next we get into the line, usually through a cleanout. We feed the jetting hose in and work the nozzle down the pipe. The spray strips buildup off the wall, and the loosened material washes down toward the sewer.

After the jetting, we run water through the drains to check the flow. A line that still backs up may be broken or sagging. That points to sewer line repair, and we explain what we found before any of that work starts.

Who cleans a clogged sewer line in Nashville?

In Nashville, Metro Water Services says the private sewer service line belongs to the property owner. That line runs from the building all the way to the public sewer main. Metro Water says no part of it belongs to the city.

So a clog in that line is the owner's to clear. Metro Water's help program starts after a plumber has worked on the problem and could not fix it. Hydro jetting is how we clean that line when grease or roots fill it.

Outside Nashville, your own sewer utility sets the rules. Ask it which part of the line is yours.

FAQ

Hydro Jetting Questions, Answered

Common questions about hydro jetting around Nashville and the rest of Middle Tennessee. If yours is not here, call or text and ask.

Call (615) 723-2488

How much does hydro jetting cost?
The price depends on the line we clean and what is in it. A long sewer line full of roots takes more time than a short kitchen line. Access matters too, since some homes have a handy cleanout and some do not. We look at the job and put the quote in writing before any work starts.
Can hydro jetting clear a kitchen drain that keeps clogging?
Often, yes. A kitchen line that keeps clogging may have grease built up on the pipe wall. A cable breaks up the clog and opens the line. Hydro jetting goes further and scours that grease off the wall, then flushes it down the line.
Is hydro jetting safe for older pipes?
Hydro jetting handles most drain and sewer lines and the clogs in them. A pipe that is already badly worn or broken is the exception, since heavy cleaning can break it further. Before we jet a line, we ask about its age and its history of clogs. If the line shows signs of broken pipe, we talk through the repair first.
Does hydro jetting remove tree roots?
Hydro jetting cuts roots loose and flushes them out of the pipe. Metro Water's sewer brochure says roots get in through tiny cracks or loose joints. Those openings stay after jetting, so roots that return at one joint call for a repair there. The same brochure suggests keeping trees and shrubs at least 10 feet from your sewer line.
How do I keep my drains clear after hydro jetting?
Keep cooking grease and wipes out of the drains. Metro Water Services says grease can clog private plumbing lines. Its sewer brochure lists wipes as trash, even the ones sold as flushable. How long a jetted line stays clear depends on what goes into it.
Do you offer hydro jetting outside Nashville?
Yes. La Vergne sits at the center of our service area, and we work about 30 miles around it. That covers towns like Murfreesboro and Franklin. See the full list of towns we serve, or call or text (615) 723-2488.

Called the business and was able to get a same day appointment for my clogged kitchen drain and broken garbage disposal. They replaced the garbage disposal and did a hydro jetting. Throughout the process Freddie was very professional, friendly, and informative.He let me know all the steps of the process, gave options and his recommendations. At the end of the day, everything is fixed and he performed multiple tests to verify their work. Overall satisfied with this company .
