Hydro Jetting in Mishawaka, IN

Hydro Jetting · Mishawaka, IN

Grease and roots scoured off the pipe wall

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

ASAP Poop sends jetter rigs to homes and businesses across St. Joseph County and Elkhart County. Our jetter crew works on sewer lines, drain lines, lift station lines and commercial lines. Jetting is one part of our septic services in Mishawaka and the towns around it. Call (574) 254-7667, and we look at the job and put the quote in writing.

When does hydro jetting beat cabling a drain?

A drain cable spins a cutting head through the pipe and punches a path through the clog. Water moves again, but much of the grease and scale stays on the pipe wall. That coating catches the next clog, so the line backs up again.

Hydro jetting cleans the full width of the pipe as the hose works down the line. It scours off the coating and flushes the loose material away. That makes jetting the better pick for a greasy or scaled line and for roots in the joints. It also suits a line that clogs again soon after cabling.

A single clog in one sink or tub is usually a job for drain cleaning with a cable. When several drains back up at once, the clog is often in the main sewer line. That main line is a common job for sewer jetting.

Sewer jetting for grease and roots

Grease goes down a kitchen drain warm, then cools and sticks to the pipe wall. Mishawaka's sewer use ordinance covers grease from food service businesses. The city's evaluation form asks whether their kitchen drains run to a grease interceptor. The lines on either side of that interceptor can still collect grease, and hydro jetting scours it off.

Tree roots get into sewer pipe through cracks and loose joints. Hydro jetting cuts them loose and flushes them down the line. The crack or joint they came through is still there, so roots can grow back. When they keep returning at the same spots, pipe lining puts a new pipe inside the old one.

Older cast iron drain pipe grows rust scale on its inside wall, and slow lines collect sludge. Jetting washes both out. The lines that feed a lift station or pump chamber collect grease and sludge too. Jetting them is part of our lift station service.

Who pays to clean a sewer lateral in Mishawaka?

In Mishawaka, the sewer lateral is the pipe from your home to the sewer main in the street. The city's Sewer Maintenance Department says the homeowner is responsible for its upkeep. That includes paying for routine cleaning of the lateral.

A line that clogs again soon after jetting may be cracked or sagging. The next step there is sewer line repair. Mishawaka residents with a failed lateral can also ask the Sewer Maintenance Department about the city's Sewer Insurance Program.

Outside Mishawaka, each town or sewer utility sets its own rules for the lateral. Ask yours which part of the line is the owner's to keep up. On a septic system, the whole line from the house to the tank is the owner's.

FAQ

Hydro Jetting Questions, Answered

Common questions about hydro jetting around Mishawaka and the rest of St. Joseph and Elkhart Counties. If yours is not here, call and ask.

Call (574) 254-7667

How much does hydro jetting cost?
The price depends on the line and what is in it. A long sewer line packed with roots takes more time than a short kitchen line. Access matters too, along with how many lines need jetting. We look at the job and put the quote in writing before any work starts.
How do I know a line needs hydro jetting?
Several drains backing up at once point to a clog in the main line. So does water rising in a floor drain or tub when a toilet flushes. A line that clogs again soon after cabling may need jetting too. When you call, our office asks which drains back up and how often.
Is hydro jetting safe for older pipes?
Hydro jetting suits most sewer and drain lines that are still in sound shape. A pipe that is already cracked or crushed is the exception, because the water pressure can make the damage worse. Tell us the age of the line and how often it clogs when you call. If the signs point to a broken pipe, we talk through a repair first.
Can you jet the line from my house to the septic tank?
Yes. That line is a sewer line, and jetting clears it the same way as a line to the city sewer. The loosened buildup washes down into the tank. If the tank is due for a pump-out, tell us when you call.
How often does a line need hydro jetting?
It depends on what goes down the line. A home line may stay clear a long time after one cleaning. A busy commercial kitchen line, or a line that takes roots, may need jetting on a regular schedule. The line's own history of clogs is the most useful guide.
Do you offer hydro jetting near me?

Had a septic emergency and they were able to send a tech out within an hour to clear the tank. Fast, friendly service. Both the dispatcher and the technician were informative and knew exactly what we needed. Highly recommended.
