Frozen pipe in the crawl space. They thawed it carefully, watched it come back under pressure to check for splits, then insulated the run. Has not happened again.

Hydro Jetting in Iowa City, 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 Iowa City 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.

Water pressure worth checking
A lot of Iowa City homes run higher static pressure than they should, and high pressure quietly shortens the life of every valve, supply line and water heater in the house. It is a cheap thing to measure and an inexpensive thing to correct with a pressure reducing valve.

Third plumber we called about a main line that kept backing up. First two just cabled it and left. These guys ran a camera, showed me the cracked joint on the screen, and lined it. Two years and no problems since.

Basement floor drain smelled for weeks. Turned out to be a dried trap, not anything serious. He explained it, filled it, and charged for the callout only.

Hydro Jetting in Iowa City: 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 Iowa City?
Most Iowa City 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.
What should I do while I wait for the plumber?
For anything involving running water, shut the main valve off and open the lowest faucet in the house to drain the pressure. For a gas smell, get everyone outside first and call from there. For a backup, stop using every fixture in the house, not just the one that is blocked.
