Frequently Asked Questions About Jetting & Drain Services
What Jetting Is
Jetting uses a specialized high‑pressure hose and nozzle to blast water through drain or sewer lines, removing grease, mineral scale, debris, and even tree roots. It restores pipes close to their original diameter and provides a more thorough cleaning than snaking.
