What Is Hydro Jetting?
Hydro jetting is a special drain cleaning technique that uses highly pressurized water (typically 3,000 to 8,000 PSI) to remove blockages and clean the inside of sewer pipes, allowing water to flow. A specialized nozzle sprays water in multiple directions, cutting through tough clogs and washes away buildup that has been accumulating for years.

This technique differs from traditional methods like snaking or rooting, which only poke through a clog, leaving debris on the pipe walls. Hydro jetting completely cleans the entire interior of the pipe which restores it to a working condition. The water's force is strong enough to dissolve grease, cut through tree roots, and flush out mineral scale preventing more problems in the future.
While hydro jetting sounds like pressure washing, the two processes are very different. The hydro jetting equipment used is designed specifically for plumbing systems. It uses nozzles that can easily make their way through pipes and spray water in multiple directions. The water pressure is adjusted for things like the condition of the pipe and what material the pipe is made of. This service is safe for most residential and commercial plumbing when performed by a trained professional.

When is Hydro Jetting the Right Choice?
Hydro jetting is a great solution in the following situations:
- Recurring clogs: Stubborn clogs that continue to return after multiple attempts at unclogging may indicate that there is buildup within the pipe walls that desperately need a thorough cleaning.
- Slow-draining: When multiple sinks, tubs, or showers are draining slow, it may indicate a problem in the main sewer line. Many times homeowners mistake the slow draining as an issue with fixtures, but this is not always the case.
- Food waste buildup: Substances such grease, oil, fats and other food waste can buildup in kitchen lines over time. This is commonly seen in lines connected to dishwashers and garbage disposals.
- Tree root intrusion: Older clay and concrete pipes may be damaged by tree roots looking for moisture as the roots can crack into the lines. Hydro jetting can cut through roots and clean out the blockages in the line.
- Mineral scale buildup: Limescale buildup occurs in places that use hard water. It can buildup inside pipes restricting water flow caused by narrowing the diameter of the pipe.
- Trenchless repair preparation: As with any repair, creating a clean surface area provides improved overall outcomes. Clean pipes ensures a clean surface for the new pipe to adhere to.
When Not to Use Hydro Jetting
************
If you have severely damaged pipes or collapsing pipes, hydro jetting may not be the recommended solution. High pressure water may cause further damage in these situations. A camera inspection performed by our technicians will determine if hydro jetting is the right solution for your home.
