What Is Hydro-Jetting and When Do You Need It?

Hydro-jetting is an advanced drain cleaning method that uses highly pressurized water (typically 3,500–4,000 PSI) to thoroughly clean the interior of pipes. Unlike traditional drain snakes that merely punch holes through blockages, hydro-jetting completely removes:

• ✔ Grease and fat buildup
• ✔ Mineral scale
• ✔ Tree roots
• ✔ Sludge and debris
• ✔ Biofilm (bacteria colonies)

You might need hydro-jetting if:

• ✔ You have recurring clogs despite regular drain cleaning
• ✔ Multiple fixtures in your home are draining slowly
• ✔ Your drains emit foul odors that persist after conventional cleaning
• ✔ You haven't had your sewer line professionally cleaned in several years
• ✔ A camera inspection reveals significant buildup along pipe walls
• ✔ You have older cast iron or clay pipes that have developed scale buildup

Hydro-jetting is highly effective but should be performed by professionals, as the high water pressure can damage compromised pipes. Our technicians first perform a video inspection to ensure your pipes can withstand the procedure, then use specialized nozzles designed for your specific plumbing system to safely restore your pipes to near-new condition.
