## Our Process

1. **Drain Assessment** — We identify the source and location of the blockage — whether it's a kitchen grease accumulation, root intrusion, or hard scale buildup — before choosing the right clearing method.
2. **Method Selection** — Light clogs are cleared with an electric snake; persistent or recurring clogs, grease buildup, or root intrusion are handled with high-pressure hydro jetting.
3. **Clearing & Verification** — After clearing, we run a camera or flow test to confirm full opening and check for any underlying structural issues that caused the blockage.
4. **Root Treatment (if applicable)** — For root intrusion, we apply a root-inhibiting foam treatment to slow regrowth — extends the clear period by 1–2 years versus snaking alone.
5. **Maintenance Recommendation** — We document the condition and recommend a cleaning interval — typically annually for rental kitchens and every 2–3 years for main lines without root intrusion.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### How is hydro jetting different from snaking, and when does a Nashville property need it?

A drain snake (cable machine) mechanically cuts through or hooks a clog and pulls it back, but it leaves residue on the pipe walls — grease coatings, mineral scale, and root fibers that reaccumulate quickly. Hydro jetting uses water at 2,500–4,000 PSI to scour the pipe walls clean, removing everything. For Nashville rentals with recurring kitchen drain issues, or any property where a camera shows significant grease coating or root regrowth, jetting is the right call. We see snake-only service on Nashville rentals requiring return visits every 3–6 months; jetting typically extends the clean period to 1–2 years.

### What causes recurring drain clogs in older Nashville homes?

The three most common causes in Nashville are: (1) Grease accumulation in kitchen drain lines, particularly in properties with heavy cooking use — the fats coat cast iron or older galvanized lines and accumulate year-over-year. (2) Root intrusion through deteriorated clay tile or cast iron joints in the main line — Nashville's mature oak and elm tree-lined neighborhoods (East Nashville, Inglewood, Madison) make this extremely common. (3) Pipe bellies from clay soil settling that hold standing water and catch debris. If a Nashville property needs drain service more than once per year, a camera inspection is the next step to identify the underlying cause.
