Why New Orleans 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. Raised shotguns and Creole cottages with cast iron and galvanized; slab ranches in newer lake neighborhoods. Nearby towns: Metairie, Gretna, Kenner, Harvey.
Recurring buildup usually tracks local conditions. High water table and hurricane surge load laterals; humidity shortens tanks in sealed closets. Common dispatch ZIPs in New Orleans include 70112, 70115, 70116, 70118. 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.
