Commercial Sewer Jetting Services by
the Licensed Master Plumbers at Frugal Rooter Plumbing and Drain

Whether your Northern Virginia based business is a gas station, a restaurant, a retail store or an office building, your ability to serve customers relies heavily on sewer pipes. Few things put the brakes on business like a backed up sewer main. No one wants to be in a building where raw sewage is pouring out of the toilets and drains all over the floors. It smells awful, and there is a real risk of exposure to harmful bacteria and chemicals. If you can't bring customers through the door, you aren't doing business, which naturally begs the question: Can your business really afford a clog?

Water is wet. The sky is blue. Sewer Lines Clog.

The unfortunate reality is, sewer clogs happen. In fact, as a building ages, they become all but unavoidable. In some of Virginia's older neighborhoods, such as Alexandria and Arlington, it's often the result of a catastrophic failure in sewer pipes made from traditional pipe materials such as ceramic, cast-iron or paper. Sometimes it's because something got flushed that shouldn't have.

Just as often as the other two, however, sewer clogs are the result of the slow, steady build-up of material on the inside of the sewer pipe. Fats, oils, and other non-water soluable materials that end up going down the drains form a sticky coating on the inside of the pipes that builds every time someone flushes. After a couple of years, this build-up forms a clog. Fortunately there's a preventative solution that completely removes the build up and costs hundreds, if not thousands, less than cleaning up after a clog.

Sewer Jetting: How to avoid the unavoidable clog.

As with many problems, it is a lot cheaper to prevent a clogged sewer than it is to clean up after one. Sewer Jetting uses high pressure water to blast away years of build-up from the inside of pipes in minutes. By regularly cleaning your sewer pipes you can avoid the high costs of clean-up and lost business resulting from a sewer line backing up into your building.

The Advantage of Prfessional Sewer Jetting

Non-commercial sewer jetting equipment is available as an attachment for regular pressure washers. However, in addition to the added inconvenience of having to store the equipment for years between uses, these units deliever significantly fewer gallons per minute in water flow than the commercial units used by professional plumbers. This results in an inability to clear large, solid obstructions from the sewer pipes, such as tree roots, childrens' toys, etc.

Another draw-back of these units is an inability to adjust the pressure applied. In Northern Virginia's older neighborhoods, such as Vienna, Alexandria, and Arlington, it is not uncommon for sewer pipes to be made of materials other than PVC, such as cast iron and orangeburg, a type of sewer pipe that is actually made from paper. These types of pipe can not handle high pressures. Attempting to jet a sewer line without the knowledge and equipment of a highly-experienced local plumber can, and often does, result in severe damage to the line, turning what could have been a simple cleaning into a much more costly replacement.

Commercial sewer jetting units, like the ones used by the plumbers at Frugal Rooter Plumbing and Drain, have ten times the flow rate and can adjust pressure from 0 psi all the way up to 4000 psi. Our highly-skilled plumbers can tell whether your pipes are capable of handling a jetting, and can perform the cleaning with the necessary precision to ensure your pipes remain intact, your sewage flows smoothly and, most of all, your doors never close because of a clogged sewer main.
