Professional Hydro Jetting Services

Your Drains Will Flow Like New

When you’re dealing with the same slow drain for the third time this year, you need more than another quick fix. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to completely clear years of grease, soap scum, hair, and debris that’s built up inside your pipes.

You’ll notice the difference immediately. Water flows faster, odors disappear, and multiple fixtures stop backing up at once. More importantly, you won’t be calling for drain service every few months because the root cause is actually gone.

This isn’t just drain cleaning – it’s pipe restoration. Your plumbing system works the way it’s supposed to work, and you can stop worrying about when the next backup will happen.

Hydro Jet Plumbing Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your drain system to understand what we’re dealing with and locate the blockage. A camera inspection shows us the condition of your pipes and helps us adjust water pressure accordingly.

Next, we insert a specialized nozzle into your drain line and use high-pressure water – typically 3,000 to 4,000 PSI – to blast away buildup from the pipe walls. The water pressure is strong enough to cut through grease, soap scum, and even small tree roots, but controlled enough to protect your pipes.

The debris gets flushed downstream and out of your system completely. We’ll run another camera inspection to confirm everything is clear and show you the results. Your pipes are restored to nearly their original diameter, and water flows freely again.

What's Included in Our Service

Every hydro jetting service includes a thorough camera inspection before and after the cleaning. You’ll see exactly what was blocking your drains and confirm that it’s completely gone. We adjust water pressure based on your pipe material and age – older cast iron gets different treatment than newer PVC.

We handle everything from kitchen sink lines clogged with grease to main sewer lines blocked by years of buildup. The service works on all pipe materials when performed correctly, and we’ve got the experience to know the right approach for each situation.

You’ll get upfront pricing before we start, and we’ll explain what we found and what it means for your plumbing system. No surprises, no upselling – just professional drain cleaning that actually solves the problem.

Hydro jetting typically costs more upfront than basic drain snaking, but it saves money long-term because it actually solves the problem. While snaking might cost $150-200 and need to be repeated every few months, hydro jetting usually ranges from $300-600 and can keep your drains clear for years. When you factor in the repeated service calls, emergency fees, and potential water damage from backups, hydro jetting is often the more economical choice. Plus, you get the peace of mind that comes with knowing your drains are actually clean, not just temporarily opened.
Professional hydro jetting is safe for all pipe materials when performed by experienced technicians who adjust pressure accordingly. We always start with a camera inspection to assess pipe condition and identify any existing damage. Older cast iron or clay pipes get lower pressure treatment than newer PVC systems. The reality is that if your pipes are so deteriorated that proper hydro jetting would damage them, they’re already at risk of failure and need attention anyway. We’ll identify these issues upfront rather than discover them during an emergency backup situation when repairs are more expensive and disruptive.
Most residential hydro jetting jobs take 1-3 hours depending on the extent of the blockage and length of pipe being cleaned. We work efficiently and keep disruption to a minimum – you can usually continue normal activities in other parts of your home. The process involves some noise from the equipment, similar to a pressure washer, but nothing excessive. We’ll let you know the estimated timeframe upfront and keep you updated as we work. The temporary inconvenience is worth it when you consider that you won’t be dealing with slow drains and backup concerns for years afterward.
Most residential properties benefit from hydro jetting every 2-5 years, depending on usage and what goes down the drains. Homes with heavy cooking and grease disposal might need it more frequently, while properties with good drain maintenance habits can go longer between services. Commercial kitchens and high-use facilities often schedule annual hydro jetting as preventive maintenance. The key is addressing buildup before it becomes a backup problem. If you’re currently dealing with recurring slow drains or frequent service calls, hydro jetting can reset your system and give you a fresh start with proper maintenance.
Hydro jetting can cut through small to medium tree roots and clear root intrusions from your sewer line. The high-pressure water is effective at removing root masses and cleaning pipe walls where roots have been growing. However, if roots have caused significant pipe damage or there are major structural issues, hydro jetting alone might not be the complete solution. We’ll identify the extent of root damage during our camera inspection and recommend the best approach. In many cases, hydro jetting followed by root treatment can restore proper flow and prevent immediate regrowth, giving you time to plan for any necessary pipe repairs.
Drain snaking creates a hole through the blockage to restore flow, while hydro jetting completely removes buildup from the entire pipe diameter. Think of snaking as poking a hole through a clogged artery versus hydro jetting as actually cleaning the artery walls. Snaking is faster and cheaper for simple clogs, but the buildup remains on pipe walls and problems return quickly. Hydro jetting removes grease, soap scum, mineral deposits, and debris completely, restoring pipes to nearly original capacity. If you’re calling for drain service every few months, hydro jetting addresses the underlying cause rather than just treating symptoms.
