  • Minimize downtime: For businesses, fast action keeps operations up and running.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is hydro jetting safe for older pipes in Pittsburgh homes?

Hydro jetting can be safe for older pipes when handled by experienced professionals. Before starting work, we check the pipe type and condition through inspection, sometimes using a camera. Many Pittsburgh homes have clay or cast iron pipes, so our plumbers adjust pressure and tools to prevent any unnecessary stress. If we find a problem section, we recommend safer alternatives. Our first priority is keeping your plumbing intact while providing a real solution.

How quickly can you provide hydro jetting if I have a plumbing emergency?

We offer 24/7 response for plumbing emergencies across Pittsburgh. You can call at any hour, and our team will strive to dispatch a plumber right away, often on the same day as your call.

Fast action can prevent bigger problems and added costs, so we make emergency calls a top priority.

Our team answers all your questions and discusses any variables so you have the full picture in advance. Transparency and open communication are central to how we do business.

How can I know if hydro jetting is right for my property?

We perform a full assessment, which may include a video inspection, to decide if hydro jetting is appropriate. Factors like your pipe’s material, condition, and the nature of the clog play a role. We always explain our findings in clear, straightforward terms and discuss any alternative methods if they are safer or more cost-effective for your property.
