Hydro-Jetting Before Lining in Nashville and Middle Tennessee
A liner can only bond to a clean pipe. High-pressure water scours grease, scale and debris out of the line before anything is installed.

Hydro-Jetting Before Lining, explained.
Lining over a dirty pipe is a recipe for a poor result. Grease, scale, sludge and debris prevent a liner from seating against the pipe wall and can leave wrinkles and voids. Hydro-jetting uses a nozzle on a high-pressure hose to scour the pipe clean with water.
The jetter moves down the line, pushing debris ahead of it and out. We choose pressure and nozzle for the pipe so old, fragile pipe is not damaged, and we pair jetting with a camera so we can see the result. Jetting is a standard step before any CIPP job and is also a good maintenance service on its own.

Can jetting damage old pipe?
High pressure in the wrong hands can. We camera the pipe first and set the pressure to the pipe so fragile sections are protected.
Is jetting enough to fix roots?
It clears roots from the pipe, but they can grow back if joints are open. Lining the pipe afterward closes those gaps.
Does jetting use a lot of water?
It uses water in a controlled flow during the cleaning. We plan around it and manage the discharge.
