FAQ
Common homeowner questions
Does hydro jetting remove roots?
Hydro jetting can clean heavy buildup and some root material, but root cutting tools or repair may be needed depending on the pipe and severity.
Will roots come back?
If roots entered through a crack or failed joint, they often return. Cleaning restores flow, while repair addresses the entry point.
Can old clay or cast iron pipe be jetted?
Sometimes, but pipe condition matters. A careful provider should consider age, access, and camera findings before using high pressure.
