Frequently Asked Questions

Hydrojetting uses high-pressure water to scour the entire pipe wall, removing grease, roots, and built-up debris that snaking can't reach. Snaking punches a hole through clogs, while jetting restores full pipe diameter. At Jet Cleaned and Remodeled, we often pair jetting with camera inspection to confirm complete clearance in O'Fallon homes.

Schedule a camera inspection when you experience recurring clogs, slow drains, or suspect damage to older sewer lines. It's also valuable before purchasing a home in O'Fallon or Florissant to assess pipe condition. At Jet Cleaned and Remodeled, we use HD cameras to show you exactly what's blocking or damaging your line.

Cost depends on blockage severity, pipe length, accessibility, and whether roots or grease require multiple passes. Older homes in O'Fallon and St. Charles may need more thorough cleaning. At Jet Cleaned and Remodeled, customers consistently mention our pricing is more affordable than competing plumbers.

Snaking uses a rotating cable to break through clogs quickly, ideal for hair or paper blockages. Hydrojetting blasts water at high pressure to clean the entire pipe interior, removing grease and roots. At Jet Cleaned and Remodeled, we recommend snaking for simple clogs and jetting for thorough sewer line cleaning.

When performed by an experienced professional, hydrojetting is safe for most pipes, including older clay and cast iron lines. We adjust pressure based on pipe material and condition. At Jet Cleaned and Remodeled, our nearly 20 years of hydrojetting experience ensures careful, effective cleaning without damage.

Regular hydrojetting or snaking every 1–2 years removes buildup before it causes blockages, especially in older O'Fallon and Florissant homes. Avoid pouring grease down drains and use strainers to catch debris. At Jet Cleaned and Remodeled, we offer preventative maintenance programs to reduce emergencies and extend pipe life.

Older homes often have cast iron or clay sewer lines that crack over time, allowing root intrusion and grease buildup. Long drain runs and aging fixtures also contribute to slow flow. At Jet Cleaned and Remodeled, we see these issues regularly and use camera inspections to pinpoint problems quickly.

Many homeowners use chemical drain cleaners that corrode pipes and only provide temporary relief. They also ignore slow drains until a complete backup occurs. At Jet Cleaned and Remodeled, we recommend calling at the first sign of slow drainage to prevent costly emergencies in O'Fallon and St. Charles.

Most residential hydrojetting jobs take 1–3 hours depending on blockage severity and pipe length. At Jet Cleaned and Remodeled, we complete most jobs within 24 hours and work efficiently to minimize disruption.

A camera inspection shows clogs, cracks, collapsed sections, root intrusion, and pipe material condition in real time. It helps diagnose recurring problems and guides accurate repairs. At Jet Cleaned and Remodeled, customers appreciate seeing the issue clearly before we recommend solutions, ensuring honest and transparent service.

Snaking can cut through small root intrusions temporarily, but roots often regrow quickly. Hydrojetting removes roots more thoroughly and cleans pipe walls to slow regrowth. At Jet Cleaned and Remodeled, we assess root severity with a camera and recommend the most effective long-term solution for O'Fallon homeowners.

Most homes benefit from hydrojetting every 18–24 months, especially older properties in O'Fallon, Florissant, and St. Charles with known root or grease issues. Frequency depends on usage, pipe age, and tree proximity. At Jet Cleaned and Remodeled, we tailor maintenance schedules to prevent backups and extend system life.
