Professional Hydro Jetting Services

Your Drains Will Actually Work Again

You know that frustration when your kitchen sink backs up again three weeks after the last plumber “fixed” it. Or when your shower drains so slowly you’re standing in ankle-deep water every morning.

Hydro jetting solves the problems that snaking and chemical cleaners can’t touch. We’re talking about years of grease, soap scum, hair, and debris that’s built up inside your pipes – the stuff that creates a perfect foundation for new clogs to form.

After professional hydro jetting, your drains flow like they did when your plumbing was new. Water moves freely. Backups stop happening. You can actually use your sinks and showers without wondering if today’s the day everything backs up into your basement.

Hydro Jet Plumbing Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we run a video inspection through your drain system to see exactly what we’re dealing with. This shows us where the blockages are, what’s causing them, and whether your pipes can handle high-pressure cleaning.

Next, we insert a specialized nozzle connected to our hydro jetting equipment. This nozzle shoots water at pressures up to 4,000 PSI in multiple directions – forward to break through blockages and backward to flush everything toward the main line.

The high-pressure water cuts through grease, removes mineral deposits, clears out tree roots, and scrubs your pipe walls clean. Everything gets flushed out to the municipal sewer system. When we’re done, we run another video inspection to confirm your pipes are completely clear.

Hydro Jetting Drain Cleaning

What You Get With Our Service

Every hydro jetting service includes a complete video inspection before and after the cleaning. You’ll see exactly what was blocking your drains and confirm that everything’s been removed.

We handle main sewer lines, kitchen drains clogged with grease, bathroom lines blocked with hair and soap buildup, and floor drains that haven’t worked properly in years. Our equipment works on pipes from 2 inches to 24 inches in diameter.

You’ll also get an honest assessment of your pipe condition. If we find cracks, breaks, or sections that need repair, we’ll explain your options without pushing unnecessary work. Sometimes hydro jetting reveals problems that need attention – but it’s better to know about them before they cause major backups or water damage.

If you’ve had your drains snaked multiple times and the clogs keep coming back, hydro jetting is probably your best option. Traditional snaking just pokes a hole through blockages – it doesn’t remove the buildup on your pipe walls that causes new clogs to form. Hydro jetting actually cleans the entire diameter of your pipes. You’ll also want hydro jetting if you’re dealing with grease clogs in kitchen lines, tree roots in your sewer line, or mineral deposits that have built up over years.
That’s exactly why we start with a video inspection. We need to see the condition of your pipes before we begin any high-pressure cleaning. If your pipes have cracks, significant corrosion, or other structural issues, we’ll recommend repairs first or suggest alternative cleaning methods. Modern hydro jetting equipment allows us to adjust water pressure based on your pipe material and condition. Cast iron, PVC, and clay pipes all require different approaches, and experienced technicians know how to work with each type safely.
Most residential hydro jetting jobs take 1-3 hours depending on the extent of your blockages and the length of pipe we need to clean. We typically access your sewer line through a cleanout port outside your home, so there’s minimal disruption to your indoor spaces. You can use other drains in your house while we work on specific problem areas. We’ll let you know upfront if we need to shut off water to certain areas and for how long. The process is much faster than traditional methods and definitely faster than dealing with recurring backups.
Chemical drain cleaners only dissolve certain types of blockages – and they’re harsh on your pipes and the environment. They won’t remove grease buildup, mineral deposits, or tree roots. Plus, they can actually damage older pipes over time. Hydro jetting physically removes everything from your pipe walls using only water pressure. It’s more thorough, longer-lasting, and safe for your plumbing system. You’ll also avoid the toxic fumes and potential chemical burns that come with liquid drain cleaners. The results last much longer because we’re actually cleaning your pipes, not just creating a temporary opening.
For most homes, hydro jetting every 2-3 years keeps your main sewer line flowing properly. Kitchen drains that handle a lot of grease might need attention more frequently – maybe every 18 months. It really depends on your usage patterns and what’s going down your drains. If you have large trees near your sewer line, you might need annual service to keep roots from taking over. We’ll give you a realistic timeline based on what we find during your initial service. Regular hydro jetting is much cheaper than emergency calls and water damage repairs.
Hydro jetting solves most blockage problems, but it’s not a cure-all. If your pipes are broken, collapsed, or severely damaged, you’ll need repairs before cleaning can be effective. Tree roots that have grown through pipe joints might require cutting tools in addition to hydro jetting. We can handle grease clogs, hair blockages, mineral buildup, small root intrusions, and general debris accumulation. During our initial video inspection, we’ll identify any structural issues that need attention and explain whether hydro jetting alone will solve your specific problem or if additional repairs are necessary.
