Jetting

Mad Duck Construction provides jetting services that keep drainage lines clear across Four Oaks, Clinton, Dunn, Smithfield, Goldsboro and the surrounding North Carolina communities. We work on storm drains, ditch tile and pump stations for municipalities, contractors and property owners who need lines flowing before the next heavy rain, not after it.

Family owned and operated since 2020, we run specialized equipment built to handle grease, roots and debris — the three things that put a drainage system out of service.

Municipal Sewer Jetting

High pressure water cleaning to eliminate blockages and prevent sanitary sewer overflows. Rather than punching a hole through an obstruction and leaving the rest in place, jetting scours the pipe wall to wall and carries the material out, restoring the line to its full carrying capacity.

Storm Water Line Cleaning

We remove silt, leaves and road debris from storm water lines to prevent localized flooding. Storm systems fill gradually and quietly, and the loss of capacity usually goes unnoticed until a storm puts water where it does not belong — across a roadway, into a parking area, or onto adjoining property.

Root Cutting and Removal

Roots find joints and cracks, then grow into the line and catch everything moving past them. We cut and remove root intrusion so the pipe drains properly again, and we can tell you what condition the line is in once the obstruction is out.

Lift Station and Wet Well Cleaning

Lift station and wet well cleanings restore optimal capacity and prevent pump failures. Grease, rags and settled solids accumulate in the well, shorten pump cycles and eventually burn out equipment that costs far more to replace than to maintain.

Cost Saving Preventative Maintenance

Jetting is far cheaper as maintenance than as an emergency. A scheduled cleaning is a planned visit on a normal working day; the same line left alone becomes an overflow, a road closure, a failed pump or a regulatory problem. We can work to a schedule that suits your system and the volume it carries.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of lines do you jet?

Storm drains, ditch tile, sanitary sewer mains and pump stations. We work for municipalities, contractors, developers and property owners across Johnston County and the surrounding area, on systems ranging from a single blocked run to a full maintenance schedule.

How does jetting prevent sanitary sewer overflows?

An overflow happens when a line loses capacity faster than anyone notices. High pressure water cleaning removes the grease, roots and settled solids that cause that loss, so the line carries what it was designed to carry instead of surcharging during the next heavy flow.

Why does storm water line cleaning matter if there is no blockage?

Storm lines silt up gradually. Leaves, sand and road debris reduce the cross section long before anything backs up, and the shortfall only shows during a storm, as water across a roadway or standing in a parking area. Clearing them ahead of the season is far cheaper than dealing with the flooding.

Can you handle root intrusion?

Yes. We cut and remove roots that have entered through joints and cracks, then flush the material out rather than leaving it in the line. Once the obstruction is gone we can tell you what condition the pipe is actually in.

What is involved in a lift station or wet well cleaning?

We remove the grease, rags and settled solids that build up in the well. That restores the station to its proper capacity and takes the load off the pumps, which is what prevents the short cycling and premature failures that make pump replacement necessary.

How often should a system be cleaned?

It depends on what the system carries and how it is laid out. Lines handling grease or heavy debris need attention more often than a clean residential storm run. We will look at your system and recommend an interval, and scheduled maintenance is always cheaper than an emergency call.
