For drains with buildup that standard clearing cannot fully remove, hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the interior of the pipe and restore flow for longer.
What This Service Covers
Hydro jetting uses a high-pressure water stream to clear grease, mineral buildup, and root intrusion from the interior walls of a pipe, going further than a standard mechanical snake typically reaches. This service is most relevant for drains with recurring blockages, significant grease accumulation in kitchen lines, or older lines dealing with root intrusion that a basic clearing has not fully resolved.
Because hydro jetting uses considerable pressure, our technicians assess pipe material and condition before recommending it, adjusting pressure appropriately for the specific line involved.
What Happens If It's Put Off
A line with accumulated grease or mineral buildup does not clear itself over time, it narrows further with each use, restricting flow more and more until backups become frequent. Root intrusion follows a similar pattern, roots continue growing toward moisture sources, gradually widening cracks and increasing blockage severity. Addressing significant buildup with a thorough method like hydro jetting tends to prevent the escalating cycle of repeated, less effective clearings.
How The Work Gets Done
We typically run a camera through the line first to assess condition and confirm jetting is the appropriate approach.
Pressure is set appropriately based on pipe material and condition to clear buildup without causing damage.
The high-pressure stream clears buildup along the entire accessible length of the line.
A second camera pass confirms the line is clear before we consider the job complete.
What The Experience Looks Like
Most hydro jetting visits are completed within a single appointment. We explain what the camera inspection reveals before proceeding, and walk you through the results of the follow-up check once jetting is complete, so you understand the condition of your line going forward.
Why This Team Specifically
We confirm jetting is appropriate for your specific line before proceeding.
We adjust pressure to avoid damaging older or more fragile pipe.
A follow-up camera check confirms the line is actually clear.
Common Questions
We assess pipe material and condition first, adjusting pressure accordingly since older or already-compromised pipe requires a more conservative approach.
A snake typically punches through a blockage, while jetting scours the full interior surface of the pipe, removing buildup more thoroughly.
When pressure is properly matched to pipe condition, jetting is a safe and effective clearing method for most residential lines.
Because jetting clears the full interior surface rather than just punching a channel through buildup, results tend to last considerably longer than a standard snake.
Yes, camera inspection both confirms jetting is appropriate and verifies the line is clear afterward.
