We offer zero dig trenchless sewer repair services when applicable which is much cleaner and makes digging up the pipes length of the yard unnecessary.

Hydro Jetting

Unlike the use of cables and snakes to clean a clog from a pipe, hydro jetting utilizes small amounts of water at very high pressure to break the clog and descale the walls of the pipe. This can allow the pipe to go back to it's actual shape in cases where the clog has actually deformed/swollen the pipe. Not only are the walls clean and undamaged, but the clog is broken down and safely removed.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have other questions feel free to call or email us!

Question: What is hydro jetting and when should it be used?

Answer: A substantial clog in your sewage line may require professional help or even a line replacement. However, sewer jet blasting can be a very effective way for drain cleaning, no matter where the blockage is. Basically, a strong spray of pressurized water is pumped through your home’s plumbing, breaking up clogs and leaving pipes flowing freely. We have attached a picture for your reference to show you how it works! If you didn't already see, 217, Inc. has a BRAND NEW Sewer Jetter ready to help you in any clogged drain situation! Don't hesitate to call us today to speed up your life, by unclogging as slow moving drain!

Question: How did I even get tree roots in my sewage line?

Answer: Tree roots are naturally attracted to water. Your drain line is not only a great source of water, but also nutrients that tree roots can thrive on. Roots need a very small crevice to sneak into your drain line where they can grow, prosper, and cause home owners big headaches. Root masses quickly become clogged with toilet tissue, grease and other debris flowing from your home to the main sewer, this results in reduced flow, slow running drains and in most cases a complete blockage which can cause other drains in your home to backup. Call us at 217, Inc. to take care of an existing root problem or to help you prevent and protect against potential root problems.

Sign up for annual clean out and tv camera-ing of your sewer lines to not only prevent backups, but also to be proactive against pesky tree roots invading your lines! Catching an issue early can save a lot of money and prevent the need for underground pipe repair services.
