Backflow test on our irrigation system. Booked it, did it, filed the paperwork, sent me the copy. Zero hassle.

Hydro Jetting in Ankeny, Iowa
A cable makes a hole through a blockage. A jetter takes the blockage off the wall of the pipe. That difference is why a Ankeny kitchen line that gets cabled every spring often never needs it again after one jetting - the grease layer that was narrowing the pipe is gone rather than perforated.

When to call us in Ankeny
- The same line clogs again every few months
- A commercial kitchen line that backs up during service
- Grease visible when the cleanout is opened
- Roots that keep returning after cabling

What the visit covers
- Camera pass first to confirm jetting is safe for the pipe
- Nozzle matched to grease, roots or scale
- Pressure set to the pipe material, not cranked to maximum
- Debris flushed out rather than pushed downstream
- 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 Ankeny 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.

No hot water on the coldest morning of the year. Thermocouple. Out and fixed within two hours of my call, and he showed me where the reset is for next time.

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.

Hydro Jetting in Ankeny: 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 Ankeny?
Most Ankeny 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.
How much does a plumber cost in Ankeny?
We quote flat, per job, before any work starts. You hear the number on the phone or at your door, you agree to it, and it does not change because the job took longer than expected. There is no hourly clock running while we diagnose.
