Your Local Hydro Jetting Experts

Clogged or slow drains are a huge burden. You’ve got anything from heavy grease to tree roots giving you problems. And it’s not just an inconvenience. Sewer backups are a health hazard that can carry serious risk. But our Durham hydro-jetting service knocks out the toughest clogs with a high-pressure blast that can power through anything. Harmon Plumbing Services, Inc. is proud to offer you this tried and true section to restore your drainage back to normal.

Why Does My Drain Back Up?

If you’re living in Durham, NC and dealing with consistent clogs in your drain and sewer line, you’re not alone. There are several factors at play that make hydro-jetting Durham homes a necessary service:

Tree Roots - Durham’s tree canopies are always looking for moisture beneath the surface. Your older home’s clay or cast-iron sewer lines are no match. The roots intrude and cause insufficient flow and drains that spew wastewater back into your home.
Grease and Sludge - Even if you never pour your bacon grease down the drain, over time the kitchen lines will accumulate grease and organic material that narrows your pipe until one day, out of nowhere, you’re standing shin deep in the shower every day.
Mineral Scale - Hard water and scale tend to build up over time on the interior walls of your pipes. This creates a rough surface that easily catches more and more debris until you’re dealing with several clogs that slow down your drainage or stop it altogether.

If you’ve tried home solutions or other drain cleaning services like snaking with no luck, hydro jetting in Durham might be the right choice for your home.

Hydro Jetting vs. Snaking: What’s the Difference?

Compared to other services, one might think that hydro jetting is no different than the traditional drain snaking service. Here’s a quick breakdown on what separates the two:

Drain Snaking pokes a hole through whatever’s blocking the typical flow. It’s helpful for singular clogs that aren’t too big. But it leaves grease and scaling stuck to pipe walls that can quickly build up again.
Hydro Jetting is a 360 degree high pressure stream, going up to 4000 PSI, that pushes out roots and sludge to restore more of the pipe’s internal diameter. It’s meant for heavy use cases and can bring flow back to pipes that are completely blocked.

As professional plumbers in Durham we advise homeowners to avoid chemical cleaners that corrode pipes and harm the environment. Hydro jetting is a solution that uses nothing but high-pressure water with minimal risk.

Is Hydro Jetting Safe?

Harmon Plumbing Services, Inc. prioritizes safety and will not suggest hydro jetting unless we are able to do it safely. We perform an inspection with a high-quality video camera to check the sewer line to make sure it’s structurally sound then locate the blockage before applying any pressure. Water pressure is calibrated to your pipe material and blockage type to ensure it’s not too rough on your system. From there, the self-propelling nozzle scours your pipe walls and flushes debris downstream. With this concise approach we can do targeted jobs safely and make sure no damage is done once service is complete.

Residential & Commercial Hydro Jetting

Protecting your commercial property from sewer line backups has never been easier. Hydro jetting in Durham can help your pipes flow like normal and prevent you from costly excavations of the sewer line. We also do preventative maintenance for Durham business owners to help with things like restaurant grease traps or multi-family housing complexes. It’s the ideal way to ensure things are working like normal regardless of what goes down your pipes and drains. You can’t control what everyone flushes or pours out, but you can stay on top of it with commercial hydro jetting services in Durham.

Hydro Jetting FAQs

Does hydro jetting damage older pipes?

Only if it’s not done safely. That’s why we always do a video camera inspection first in order to verify that the pipe structure is intact and adjust pressure levels for safe cleaning.

Can hydro jetting remove tree roots?

Yes. Hydro jetting cuts through fine-to-medium root intrusions and flushes out all remaining debris.

How much does hydro jetting cost in Durham, NC?

Pricing depends on line length, access points, and blockage severity. Contact Harmon Plumbing Services, Inc. for an upfront estimate after a preliminary inspection.

How often should commercial properties schedule hydro jetting?

Restaurants and heavy commercial kitchens benefit from hydro jetting every 6 to 12 months to prevent grease-induced municipal overflows.
