Why Richmond 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. Fan and Church Hill rowhouses with galvanized and cast iron; later slab ranches south and west. Nearby towns: Henrico, Glen Allen, Midlothian, Chesterfield.
Recurring buildup usually tracks local conditions. Piedmont clay movement shifts laterals; ice storms freeze crawlspace lines. Recurring clogs need a camera, not chemicals. Common dispatch ZIPs in Richmond include 23220, 23221, 23223, 23225. 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.
