My house is over 40 years old and the plumbing system hasn’t been updated for decades. Recently, the drains have started to back up more often, especially after heavy water use. Has anyone dealt with persistent clogs in older homes, and what’s the most effective long-term solution?

Older houses often present hidden challenges when it comes to plumbing, especially with build-ups that accumulate over decades. Traditional snaking methods usually give temporary relief but don’t solve the deeper issue. I found an experienced hydro jetting service in Seattle that uses high-pressure water to clear out years of buildup and even tree roots. This method works particularly well in older systems because it restores the pipes almost to their original diameter. After using hydro jetting, the drains in my house started running freely again, and I didn’t need frequent call-backs for clogging. While it might sound like a bigger investment compared to simple snaking, the results last significantly longer and reduce the risk of emergency repairs. For anyone with aging plumbing, hydro jetting can be a reliable and safe solution.
