Hydro Jetting in Farmington
Farmington housing is a historic downtown with much newer development out toward the retail and transit area, which usually means old lines in the historic streets, modern PVC in the new build. The age of a property is the best single predictor of what its drain lines are made of, and that decides what a hydro jetting is likely to show.
Farmington’s historic streets have the mature trees and old clay laterals that go with them. The newer development is a different world below ground, and the two ends of town rarely have the same problem.
What we look for in Farmington lines
Jetting an older line is a decision that follows the camera, not one that precedes it. Cast iron that has thinned can be in no condition to take pressure, and the scale may be doing more structural work than anyone would like. Where the pipe is sound, jetting takes grease off a rough wall that a cable would only bore through.
That is the Farmington version of the question. The general case, including when this service is the wrong choice, is covered on the hydro jetting page.
Access in Farmington
Older properties often have the cleanout in the basement rather than outside, and on some of the oldest housing there is no accessible cleanout at all. That is worth establishing on the phone, because it changes both the approach and the cost.
Farmington is inside our regular Davis County service area, so travel is not the constraint. Access at the property usually is.
Before we recommend anything
It suits grease, sludge and soft build-up. It is not appropriate for a pipe that is already cracked, which is the reason we look before we jet.
If the line turns out to be sound, that is what we will tell you. A recurring blockage on its own is not evidence that a sewer needs replacing.
