Hydro Jetting in Pontiac, MI

Original sewer laterals prone to scale and root intrusion are common in its older neighborhoods, and downtown and commercial properties run drain and grease-line systems that benefit from regular jetting.

Pontiac has one of the larger stocks of older housing in Oakland County, and that age shows in its drains. Decades-old clay and cast-iron laterals scale up inside and loosen at the joints, while the mature trees throughout its established neighborhoods send roots toward any gap in the line. The result is the recurring main-line clogs that snaking only postpones. Root-cutter hydro jetting clears the intrusion and scours the line, and a camera inspection comes first to confirm the older pipe is sound and to show how far roots extend so we can recommend a maintenance interval.

Pontiac's scale sets it apart from the smaller cities around it: a revitalizing downtown and a substantial base of commercial and institutional buildings — offices, civic facilities, and larger properties — that run extensive drain and grease-line systems carrying far heavier loads than a home. We jet these larger systems thoroughly, can camera-inspect long or shared lines to pinpoint a problem before it spreads, and offer preventive scheduling to keep high-use lines ahead of trouble. For an older home or a downtown building, we diagnose first and recommend only what's needed.
