Hydro jetting clears a Creedmoor drain or sewer lateral by pushing a high-pressure water jet through the pipe to strip off grease, residue and roots. How the job is done depends on where the house drains: South Granville Water and Sewer Authority sewer for most in-city homes, or a private onsite system in places sewer doesn't reach. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Creedmoor.
Is my Creedmoor home on public sewer?
Most homes in the city are. The South Granville Water and Sewer Authority (SGWASA) provides sewer for Creedmoor and Butner and treats wastewater at its plant in Butner. Its rules require a property to connect to public gravity sewer when a line is within 200 feet of the lot. Where no public sewer is accessible, an approved onsite system is used, so some homes on the edges of Creedmoor are not on municipal sewer. Your bill will tell you: an SGWASA sewer charge means you're connected.
The difference changes the job. On SGWASA sewer, debris the jet knocks loose rinses down into the public main. On a private system it goes into the tank, so the plumber holds pressure and water volume down and checks the tank and drainfield before cleaning.
Will jetting work on my pipes?
For most Creedmoor homes, yes. The city grew a lot in the 1990s and 2000s; census survey figures put the median home at 1995, with about 30% built before 1980. Newer homes generally have plastic drains, which handle jetting well; their clogs come from grease, soap and wipes. The older homes in town may have cast iron or clay, which also clean up well when intact. A camera look first is the safe way to find out.
Why does my drain clog again after it's snaked?
A cable opens a narrow path but leaves residue stuck to the walls, and that residue catches the next load. Jetting scrubs the whole pipe, so it tends to last much longer. If a line keeps clogging even after jetting, the pipe may have a sag, an offset joint or roots getting in, and a camera will show which.
A local note
Granville County issues building permits and handles inspections for Creedmoor, so any repair found during a camera inspection goes through the county's office in Oxford. A routine cleaning of an existing line doesn't usually need a permit. Creedmoor, once called Mule Town for its mule-trading and tobacco-market days, is now a growing suburb between Durham and Oxford. If you're calling about an outlying address, say whether the house drains to SGWASA sewer or a tank so the plumber comes prepared.
