Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a high pressure drain cleaner and how does it work?
A high pressure drain cleaner, also known as hydro jetting, is a plumbing service that uses water under extremely high pressure to clear clogs and clean pipe walls. The equipment features a high-pressure hose with a specially designed nozzle that blasts water at up to 4,000 PSI. This intense force allows it to remove blockages like grease, soap scum, scale, hair, and even tree roots. It’s a powerful alternative to traditional snaking methods, which typically only bore a hole through the blockage. High pressure jetting scours the entire diameter of the pipe, restoring full flow and reducing the chances of future clogs. The process is safe for most residential and commercial plumbing systems, provided it’s performed by a trained technician who adjusts the pressure to match pipe conditions. Cottrell Plumbing, Heating & Air uses this method to provide deeper, longer-lasting drain cleaning results.
Is high pressure drain cleaner safe for all types of pipes?
Yes, high pressure drain cleaning is generally safe for most modern plumbing systems, including PVC, copper, and cast iron. However, older or fragile pipes require a careful inspection before the service is performed. At Cottrell Plumbing, we always begin with a camera inspection to assess the condition of your pipes. Based on what we find, we adjust the water pressure and nozzle type accordingly. This ensures that the cleaning is effective without causing any pipe damage. Hydro jetting is actually less invasive than using chemical drain cleaners, which can corrode pipe interiors. When done by trained professionals, it’s a safe, environmentally friendly way to maintain clear and functional plumbing. For especially old or damaged systems, we may recommend lower pressure settings or an alternative approach. In all cases, our priority is delivering a safe and effective solution tailored to your plumbing system.
How often should I schedule high pressure drain cleaner services?
The recommended frequency for high pressure drain cleaning depends on the usage of the plumbing system. In most homes, hydro jetting is ideal once every 18 to 24 months as part of preventative maintenance. This keeps the drain lines clear of buildup and reduces the risk of emergency clogs. For commercial properties, especially restaurants or medical facilities where grease, food waste, or chemical runoff is common, cleanings may be required every 3 to 6 months. At Cottrell, we offer service plans for residential and commercial clients to help manage these timelines effectively. Regular jetting not only prevents clogs but also extends the life of your plumbing and minimizes future repair costs. If you’ve had frequent slow drains, recurring clogs, or are unsure when your last drain cleaning was, it’s a good idea to schedule a professional inspection.
Can a high pressure drain cleaner remove tree roots from pipes?
Yes, high pressure drain cleaning is one of the most effective ways to eliminate invasive tree roots from sewer lines. Over time, tree roots naturally seek out moisture and can enter your pipes through tiny cracks or joints. Once inside, they grow rapidly and cause major blockages. Our hydro jetting equipment uses specialized rotating nozzles that blast water in multiple directions, slicing through and dislodging even thick root masses. After the jetting process, we often perform a camera inspection to confirm the roots have been completely removed. While this method removes the obstruction, it doesn’t prevent future root intrusion. To provide long-term solutions, we may recommend pipe relining, root inhibitors, or replacing damaged sections of pipe. For homes in areas with lots of tree coverage, regular inspections and hydro jetting every 12–18 months can help prevent severe root-related clogs.
What are the signs I might need a high pressure drain cleaner?
There are several clear indicators that it may be time to schedule a high pressure drain cleaner service. If you’re experiencing recurring clogs, slow draining sinks or tubs, bubbling toilets, or unpleasant odors coming from your drains, it’s likely that there is significant buildup inside your pipes. Gurgling sounds from drains, frequent use of plungers, or multiple clogged fixtures at once also point to a deeper blockage that regular cleaning methods can’t resolve. In commercial settings, slow kitchen lines or overflowing floor drains can severely impact operations. Hydro jetting addresses not just the immediate clog but also the underlying cause—like grease buildup, tree roots, or mineral deposits. Unlike traditional methods that just poke a hole through the clog, high pressure jetting cleans the entire pipe wall. If you’re unsure, a video inspection can help determine if hydro jetting is the right solution for your system.
