For Holly Springs homes, hydro jetting is a way to clean a drain or sewer lateral with a high-pressure water jet that removes grease, soap, sludge and roots from the full pipe wall. It's used when a line keeps clogging after a cable has cleared it. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Holly Springs.
Do Holly Springs homes really need jetting?
Sometimes, even though the housing is young. Holly Springs, on I-575 between Woodstock and Canton, grew fast after 2000; census survey figures put the median home at 2009, with only about 4% built before 1980. Nearly every drain line here is plastic, so roots and corroded pipe are rarely the issue. The problem is what goes down the drain. Cooking grease cools and sticks; wipes labeled flushable don't break down; soap and hair build up in the main line. A cable opens a path through that, but jetting removes the coating, so the line stays clear longer.
Who handles sewer here?
The Cherokee County Water & Sewerage Authority (CCWSA) provides water and sewer in Holly Springs; the city's rezoning application requires a CCWSA availability letter, and the downtown sanitary sewer project was built with CCWSA. CCWSA customer service is 770-479-1813. If manholes are overflowing or neighbors have the same problem, start there. A backup in one house is in the private drain line, which is where a plumber works. Whether every property is on sewer hasn't been confirmed, so if you aren't sure, check your CCWSA bill for a sewer charge.
Is a permit involved?
Not for cleaning. If a camera finds a broken or sagging section, the repair is permitted work. Holly Springs handles permits and inspections through a city building official, with applications through its Cloudpermit online portal, and City Hall can be reached at 770-345-5536 with questions.
A local note
Newer subdivisions sometimes have a cleanout buried under landscaping or mulch near the foundation. Finding it before the plumber arrives saves time. If your home is still under a builder's warranty and the line has clogged early, mention that too; a camera recording can be useful if the problem turns out to be an installation issue rather than buildup.
When you call the number on this page, an independent plumber who serves Holly Springs will ask which drains are affected and whether the line has been cleaned before. Until they arrive, stop running the washer, dishwasher and showers, and keep pets and children away from any wastewater.
