How a hydro jetting visit works in Smithfield
- Camera firstWe do not jet blind. The survey tells us pipe material, condition and whether jetting is safe on that line.
- Match the nozzleGrease, roots and hard scale each want a different head and pressure - one setting for everything is how pipes get damaged.
- Scour the lineWater is worked upstream then drawn back, pulling debris toward the access point rather than packing it forward.
- Re-cameraSecond pass on video shows bare pipe wall, which is the proof you are paying for.
- Set an intervalCommercial kitchens in Smithfield usually want quarterly. Most homes need it far less often, and we will say so.
What the job includes
- Pre-jetting camera survey
- Pressure and nozzle matched to pipe material and diameter
- Root cutting heads where intrusion is present
- Grease and scale removal to full diameter
- Post-jetting camera to verify the result
- Maintenance interval recommendation in writing

Hydro Jetting reviews from Smithfield
Our irrigation backflow failed its test. They came out, fitted a repair kit, retested and filed the paperwork with the water department. I did not have to chase anything.
Simone B.Smithfield, NCGarbage disposal was humming and I assumed it was dead. Turned out to be a jam plus a partly blocked trap arm. Cleared both, no new unit needed. Appreciated the honesty.
Kevin T.Smithfield, NCWoke up to water coming through the kitchen ceiling. Called at 5am and had someone at the house before 7. He found the split line, showed me the failed fitting, and had it repaired and pressure tested by mid-morning. The price he quoted at the start is what I paid.
Marcus D.Smithfield, NCHydro Jetting in Smithfield: common questions
Is hydro jetting safe for older pipes?
On sound cast iron, clay, PVC or ABS, yes. On a line the camera shows as cracked or badly deteriorated, no - and that is exactly why we survey a Smithfield line before jetting it.
How is jetting different from snaking?
A cable bores a hole through the blockage so water passes. Jetting strips the pipe wall back to its original diameter. If your Smithfield drain keeps re-clogging after a snake, that is the difference showing up.
How much does hydro jetting cost in Smithfield?
Most residential jobs run $450 to $1,150. Commercial kitchen lines vary with length, access and how much buildup is present, and we quote flat after the camera pass.
How often should a restaurant jet its lines?
Every three to six months for most Smithfield kitchens. Grease trap volume and menu type move that number, and the first camera pass usually tells us where you sit.
Will jetting remove tree roots?
Yes, cutting heads shear roots back to the pipe wall. It does not repair the joint they came in through, so we will show you the entry point and price a repair if it warrants one.
