Why Albany homeowners call for hydro jetting
Jetting uses water pressure matched to pipe material. It is not a DIY pressure washer in a clean-out.
Jetting is only appropriate in lines that can take the pressure. Rowhouses and two-flats with lead services and cast-iron stacks. Nearby towns: Colonie, Troy, Schenectady, Delmar.
Recurring buildup usually tracks local conditions. Deep frost and nor’easters freeze uninsulated lines; combined sewers back up in spring thaw. Common dispatch ZIPs in Albany include 12202, 12206, 12208, 12209. Nearby codes are covered — call with yours.
A camera after the jet confirms the line is actually clear. Local contractors know which laterals in your city can take jetting.
