Hydro Jetting in Monrovia

On sound plastic, yes. On a cracked clay lateral or cast iron that has scaled thin, full pressure can turn a blockage into a repair. That is why we will not jet a line we have not seen inside — not to sell an inspection, but because the pressure has to suit the pipe.

Because it does a different job. A cable bores a hole through the blockage; a jet strips the bore back to the pipe wall. On a line snaked twice in a year, the third snaking buys the same afternoon again.

Yes, and most do. The more useful question is whether they will bring the right equipment. A general plumber will clear a trap or a branch without hesitation; a blocked sewer line under a long garden wants a sectional or drum machine and, if it has blocked before, a camera. Worth describing the symptom accurately when you call — one fixture or the whole house — because that determines what arrives on the van and whether the visit can actually finish the job.

There is no good reason to, and it will not do what the videos suggest. Salt is mildly abrasive, so combined with very hot water it may scour a little loose residue from the trap. It does not dissolve grease, it does nothing whatsoever to hair or roots, and it will not move an existing blockage. It is also harmless, which is why the habit persists — nobody notices it failing. If you want a nightly routine that does something, run the hot tap for thirty seconds after washing up. That actually moves warm fat along before it cools and settles.
