Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can I hydro jet my drainfield to restore septic drainage?
Yes. In many cases, hydro jetting can help restore proper drainage by breaking up buildup and compacted material in the drainfield lines. While results depend on the condition of the system, drainfield hydro jetting is often a cost-effective alternative to full replacement.
Should I snake or hydro jet my main line?
Snaking is best for simple clogs, while hydro jetting is recommended for heavy buildup such as grease, sludge, roots, or long-term blockages. Hydro jetting thoroughly cleans the entire pipe, not just the immediate clog, making it the better long-term solution in many cases.
What if I don’t have a cleanout?
If no cleanout is available, we can often access the line through existing plumbing fixtures or recommend installing a cleanout. Cleanout installation improves access, reduces future service costs, and allows for more effective drain cleaning and inspections.
