Fair price, showed up when they said, and did not leave a mess. I do not know how to review a plumber more highly than that.

Hydro Jetting in Ames, Iowa
We run jetting on restaurant grease lines, root-filled main sewers and old scaled cast iron across Ames. The nozzle pulls itself upstream while the rear jets flush the debris back toward the cleanout, so the line finishes genuinely clear. We camera before and after so you can see the difference rather than take our word for it.
Call (833) 435-9778 and describe what is happening. We will give you an arrival window before you hang up and a flat price before anyone starts work - the same price at 2am as at 2pm.

- Second camera pass to verify the finished line
- Maintenance interval recommended for commercial lines
Winter splits pipes in the same places every year
The runs that fail in Ames are predictable: supply lines in exterior walls, anything crossing an unheated crawl space, and hose bibs left connected in November. Ice rarely bursts the pipe where it forms - it bursts it downstream where the pressure has nowhere to go, which is why the damage often shows up somewhere that never froze.

Straightforward people. Told me the repair on my eleven year old heater would work but probably only buy me a year, gave me both prices, and let me decide. No pressure either way.

Woke up to water coming through the kitchen ceiling at about 4am. Somebody answered on the second ring, talked me through shutting the main off, and a truck was here inside the hour. Split pipe in the bathroom wall. Fixed and tested before I left for work.

Hydro Jetting in Ames: common questions
Is hydro jetting safe for old pipes?
Not always, which is why we camera first. A sound clay or cast iron line handles jetting fine at the right pressure. A line that is already cracked or badly deteriorated should be repaired, not jetted, and we will tell you that.
How is jetting different from snaking?
A cable bores a channel through the clog and the line reopens at reduced diameter. Jetting strips the build-up off the pipe wall so you get the full bore back. Snaking is faster and cheaper; jetting lasts far longer.
How often should a restaurant jet its grease line in Ames?
Most Ames kitchens do well on a six month interval, busier ones on quarterly. We set the schedule off what the camera shows in your line rather than a generic number.
Will jetting cut tree roots?
Yes, a root nozzle cuts roots back to the pipe wall. It does not fix the crack or joint that let them in, so we usually pair it with a camera inspection and a conversation about lining.
Can you tell me what is wrong over the phone?
Often we can narrow it down, and sometimes we can tell you it is something you can fix yourself in five minutes. We would rather do that than send a truck you did not need.
