Drain jetter for homeowner use

Jetting removes solids from the line, not roots. Might be time to find the cause and fix it.

Why does it need to be serviced twice a year? That sounds like a problem that should be fixed, not cleaned twice a year.

I had a plumber run a camera down the line. No roots. Just seems to be a defective install that plugs up periodically due to being connected to the disposal and washing machine. Since the troubled section is under the house or about 8 feet of ground, fixing it is an expensive proposition.

Please just answer the question. Is there or isn't there a home jetter you know of and can recommend?

The pulsating drain thing works pretty well for my problem drain line, but the blockage comes back within a short time. Once it stops up and I clear it with one of these things, I have to do it every couple of weeks after that. I eventually get tired of that and just get the drain jetted to solve the problem for a few months. I highly recommend it for more routine problems, though. Just make sure you can either get it past any other drains or vents, or find a way to plug them. In my case, I have a washing machine drain line that I have to put a threaded cap on, or the pulsating jet's water just gushes out of it.

a plumber come out ($120 or so), so I&#39;m wondering if I should just go ahead and buy a jetter myself. Anyone know of a good model that&#39;s cheap enough to make sense for me to buy?<

You can buy hoses and nozzles for a pressure washer, that allow it to be used as a jetter. "
