Traditional motorized drain snakes are fantastic for retrieving hair clogs or cutting through minor tree roots. However, if your home’s plumbing is severely choked by years of hardened cooking grease, heavy soap scum, or thick mud sludge, a snake will simply poke a small hole through the muck. The water might drain for a few days, but the sludge will quickly collapse and close the hole back up. For these stubborn, recurring blockages, you need absolute power. We are Steelton, PA’s premier experts in advanced hydrojet drain cleaning. We use industrial-grade, high-pressure water technology to completely obliterate heavy buildup, restoring your pipes to factory-new condition.
When you request our hydrojet drain cleaning service, we deploy a highly specialized machine that acts like a pressure washer for the inside of your plumbing. We feed a flexible, high-pressure hose deep into your heavily clogged sewer or kitchen line. Attached to the end is a specialized nozzle that blasts water at up to 4,000 PSI in a 360-degree, reverse-spray pattern.
The kitchen sink line is typically the most abused pipe in any home. Even if you are careful, microscopic amounts of oils, fats, and grease (FOG) wash down the drain daily. When this warm liquid grease hits the cold pipes beneath your house, it congeals into a rock-hard white paste. Hydrojetting is the only scientifically effective way to completely wash and remove this hardened FOG buildup from your residential plumbing lines without digging up your floors to replace the pipe.
If you live in an older home with original cast-iron plumbing, the inside of your pipes look like jagged, rusty coral reefs. This "scale" constantly snags toilet paper and causes repetitive backups. Our technicians use high-pressure hydrojetting to safely grind and blast that jagged rust away. We smooth the interior of the cast-iron pipe, significantly extending its lifespan and preventing future clogs without requiring an expensive pipe replacement.
"We had a recurring backup issue in our kitchen for months. They came out, ran the hydrojet drain cleaning machine, and blasted years of solid white grease completely out of the pipe. It flows like a brand-new house now."
"My old cast-iron pipes were backing up every few weeks. They used their heavy-duty hydrojetter to descale the rust and wash the line completely clean. Best plumbing service I have ever hired. Honest and very effective."
"A massive grease and root ball blocked our main sewer line on a Saturday. They arrived fast, ran the camera to show me the problem, and hydrojetted it completely clear. I highly recommend them for any tough clogs."
After initial habitation by Susquehannock Indians and subsequent nearby Harrisburg establishment, the area was owned by the Kelker family of Harrisburg by the 1800s. The 100-acre area was chosen in 1866 by Samuel Morse Felton Sr., president of the Pennsylvania Steel Company, to begin construction of a steel mill. This particular site was favored because of the location's proximity to the Pennsylvania Railroad, the Pennsylvania Canal, and the nearby iron mine in Cornwall, Lebanon County. The land was purchased from owners Henry A. and Rudolph F. Kelker; then, steel pioneer Alexander Lyman Holley was chosen to build the mill along the Susquehanna River, which was completed by 1867 (along with a mansion for Felton), and began operation on May 15, 1868. Originally named "Baldwin" after Matthias W. Baldwin, founder of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, by 1871 it had changed to "Steel Works" after the existence of another Baldwin, Pennsylvania Post Office, and finally "Steelton" in 1879 after confusion of the Post Office with the steel mill itself. It was incorporated as a borough on January 19, 1880. The extensive steel works of the Pennsylvania Steel Company later became operated by Bethlehem Steel, ArcelorMittal, and currently Cleveland-Cliffs. Also present at one time were brickyards, a flouring mill, and machine shops.
