Have you ever had to pull roots back to the opening you entered the jet tool ??? How often does that happen Sir ?? The hydro-jet is the best for cleaning cast iron pipes Sir ??? Nicely done video for sure Mr. Green's.
We have an indoor clean out just above concrete floor. When they start jetting the pipe at our house is there going to be a ton of sludge and water backing up into the basement once they start jetting if the clog doesn’t move quickly? The clog is about 65’ from the clean out.
@@ChadAmI80 long story, so they did end up jetting, (they didn’t bring a shop vac) so I ended up using my little 2-3 gallon vac. We just happened to have a large trash can that I would empty out every thirty seconds, we filled up the trash can with sludge, he got the jetter hose stuck. He came back a few days later with a large vacuum truck so they could jet longer without it backing up, still didn’t help. They charged 650.00 for the jetting 400.00 for the vacuum truck and just said we will get the hose out when we come back to do the plumbing. I hired a different company and they ended up breaking the jet hose it’s been a nightmare.
So regarding the broken pipes how is that not an issue that was quite a bit and had to have come from somewhere and recently or long after pipes installed.
I apologize, but not much information was given. Important, yet very easy to pass along to the viewer is : what kind of jetter ? psi ? gpm ? what kind of nozzle ? thank you.
If I had to make an educated guess I would say the Jetter unit is most likely a tow behind that hose is 3/8 diameter with a warthog Jetter nozzle those units can operate anywhere from 3000 to 4500 psi at anywhere from 7 1/2 to 10 gallons a minute. When utilizing large nozzles like that it's all about water volume over water pressure. There are different size hoses and nozzles and configurations for specific jobs.
I Ran a hydro Jet for years. They have different nozzles for roots and plugged lines. I designed a nozzle that will not hang up on a misaligned pipe, or broken pipe or a root filled pipe. For rust build up they have a nozzle that will clear the pipe of all hard rust build up.
I did that job some days for Toronto water We didn't want to go inside because if the jet or snake got caught the city would be in a very expensive position to have to dig it out
Ask your neighbours/family if it is a fair rate. Do you have a tradesman review site you could access to see what other people think of their pricing? Remember the plumbers have their overheads to consider when pricing the job. That said, it will still probably be cheaper than digging it all up and replacing the pipes.
I paid $500 6 years ago. I tried my speedrooter, they tried their I guess spartan, they brought in a tow behind jetter. Yeah…..it’s worth every dime if it works. But that sag in that pipe on this video, ain’t never gonna get right. That’s gonna have to be fixed.
There is a bladder Insert that is impacted with resin epoxy stuff and forced through. It does reduce Internal diameter of pipe but pipe is usable after. Saw many cities using it on tv and some on RUclips
Every district has their price to clean a pipe. Pipes comes in many sizes plus if a line is broke from tree roots the pipe would be full of mud, sand, rock, and broken pieces of pipe.
Cost me 100 bucks off Amazon, and 120 bucks at home depot. I had the setup for 2 hrs and ran out of pipes to clean at my house. Rocks, roots, asshole daughter's tampons, and a matchbox car. And did my neighbor's just for fun. 1600 psi pump from home depot, cheap electric works just fine and safe to use in your basement.
If the roots are minimal, root killer might help. But it takes days to work. Running water will wash it away. If it does work you will need to use it every few months.
You’re being scammed High pressure hose will clear the roots, and if there is a problem with the pipe, it can be re-lined, which requires no digging I had it done at my house, and the work was finished in 6 hours
In this situation hydro jetting is a waste of time and money, you can clearly see that the pipe has severely shifted and will soon collapse. I’m not sure if you only had a root intrusion or similar issues like this video here. Hydro Jetting is meant to remove and flush out any build up or debris. Here, there using a unique jetting head that attaches to the end of the hose, it rotates at a very high velocity due to the pressure from the water and cuts roots. This will only buy you time, but it will not fix anything. Not a smart idea given they have a camera that showed them the shifted sewer line…this is no belly, this is a section of pipe that has shifted and needs to be repaired! Also, as far as going trench-less, like a liner would be a terrible mistake 🤦♂️ please beware of these so called plumbers, the real and only solution is to repair or replace it 🙏
1. You mean the pieces of detached & broken up root? Really? 2. They aren’t going to replace anything, unless someone gives them the ok to do so 3. No point replacing the pipe, unless the underlying issue of tree roots is resolved
@@everyhandletaken 1. YES, all those root balls going in the main will clog it. You must be new to plumbing and sewers... Or you just don't care and bandaid problems 2. That's obviously what it needed with that many tree roots growing in the pipe! 3. Refer to #2.
@@everyhandletaken I hear you for sure... PVC Pipe is expensive especially these days... Everyone is trying to save money for the essentials... If they weren't able to afford the replacement then I'd definitely pour a ton of salt around the pipe to at least kill the roots
That was pretty good camerawork all things considered. Well done sir, and thanks for posting it. 🏆
This is the kind of work that makes modern civilization possible.
Definitely a good video to show customers what they’re getting when we jet 🌊 💯
I felt like I was drowning the whole time. I kept gulping for air. So realistic!
Great flicking video!!! I'm a tech with Mr. ROOTER, and this video is spot on. Very talented, skilled tech to get this work and video!!! Good Job!!!
It's like an enema for the sewer line.
Love the camera👍🏽
Excellent video
I’ve got one of these they work great on soft poop stoppages
I have a tub backing up into my rental property now. Exploring this option. It is an older home though, the pipes are cast
great video thanks
Did you use that warthog to flush them debris down also? Or did you switch to a different kind?
Have you ever had to pull roots back to the opening you entered the jet tool ??? How often does that happen Sir ?? The hydro-jet is the best for cleaning cast iron pipes Sir ??? Nicely done video for sure Mr. Green's.
Awww......you are getting the camera lens wet!
Are you using hot water or just regular temperature pressure?
Good video. where are you located!
Great viewing. Neat job.
Got offsets?
Do you apply copper sulfate in the pipes to kill roots so they don't come back?
Use Riddex (copper sulfate) to kill the roots. Flush down the toilet at night and let it sit to do its work.

How many PSI water pressure macchine your using ?
So regarding the broken pipes how is that not an issue that was quite a bit and had to have come from somewhere and recently or long after pipes installed.
exactly what i was wondering.. "heres some broken pipe, we'll flush that down" but wheres the damage????
Hello, What is the PSI for this machine? Do you recommend not going above a certain PSI for corrugated plastic piping - to avoid damage to the pipe
The Jetter is 4000 psi overall but not to go over 3800 psi when jetting.
Once the roots penetrated the pipe, they will grow back soon.
Use Riddex root killer every few months. It's copper sulfate.
.
Nice quality video what kind of camera is that?
I can’t answer that one, but what I do know is that I have seen inspection cameras like this, that cost near $15k insane.
Wow -- so nice to actually see this. (Need to get it done). Can roots go through PVC pipe?
Only if pvc is cracked from severe bowing effect, usually if large boulder landscape rocks or heavy machinery driven over it

Thanks for the video, how long until you have to do it again?
Green's Plumbing Co
How do you charge for the camera/ jet the video job for example?
Every other year, but prob should do every year. Get a flushable root killer as well. Use weekly
Can the hydro jet break down hard rust build up?
I Ran a hydro Jet for years. They have different nozzles for roots and plugged lines. I designed a nozzle that will not hang up on a misaligned pipe, or broken pipe or a root filled pipe. For rust build up they have a nozzle that will clear the pipe of all hard rust build up.
Ridgid flex shaft or picote mini with sandpaper flaps will work better for rust or chain head
What brand of sewer camera is that?....
Rigid
how many psi is your machine?
About 2500psi during this job.
Can you reline the main line?
Probably not in this case. I saw a Y. Looks like a neighbor is tied into this line as well
Is that pipe broke
When roots dig though it, yes.
Is it true hydrojetting has to be done on an exterior clean out? Could a plumbing company do a hydrojet down an interior clean out?
I've seen it done inside. The machine is outside with a long feed line running into the building.
I did that job some days for Toronto water We didn't want to go inside because if the jet or snake got caught the city would be in a very expensive position to have to dig it out
Put a man on the moon you think we know how to do this
Why is this the bane of existence for homeowners
Bonjour, Il y a beaucoup trop de raccords qui, laissent passer les racines. Une seule section enlèverait le problème...
there is a company here in utah that wants to charge me $250 for the camera inspection and $400 for the jetting, is this a fair rate?

I'm a plumber. Drain cleaners make a commission when they sell dig jobs, so they'll always want to dig. If it's one root, just jet it.
