Professional Hydro Jetting Services

What Real Drain Cleaning Looks Like

Your drains flow like new again. No more slow drainage, no more backups during heavy use, no more calling for service every few months because the problem keeps coming back.

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour your pipes clean from the inside out. We’re talking about removing years of grease buildup, soap scum, hair clogs, and even tree roots that have been growing in your sewer line.

The difference is immediate and lasting. Water flows freely, odors disappear, and you get back to not thinking about your plumbing because it just works the way it should.

Hydro Jet Plumbing Process

Here's How We Clear Your Lines

First, we inspect your drain system to understand what we’re dealing with. This often includes video inspection to see exactly where the blockages are and what’s causing them.

Next, we position our hydro jetting equipment and insert a specialized nozzle into your drain line. The nozzle shoots high-pressure water in multiple directions, scouring the pipe walls clean while flushing everything downstream.

The water pressure is calibrated for your specific pipe material and condition. We’re thorough but careful, clearing blockages without damaging your pipes. When we’re done, we often run another video inspection to show you the results and confirm your lines are completely clear.

Hydro Jetting Drain Cleaning

What's Included in Our Service

Every hydro jetting service includes a thorough assessment of your drainage problem and the most effective approach to solve it. We bring professional-grade equipment that can handle residential and commercial applications.

You get complete blockage removal, not just a hole punched through the clog. Our high-pressure water cleaning removes buildup from the entire pipe circumference, restoring full flow capacity.

We also provide honest feedback about your pipe condition. If we spot potential issues during the cleaning process, we’ll let you know what to watch for and when you might need to address them. No surprises, no upselling, just the information you need to make good decisions about your plumbing.

The bathroom setting includes tiled walls and floor, highlighting professional plumbing techniques for resolving toilet clogs.
Drain snaking punches a hole through blockages, which often allows some water flow but leaves most of the buildup stuck to your pipe walls. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to completely scour the pipes clean, removing grease, soap scum, hair, and other debris that’s been accumulating for years. The result is pipes that flow like new, not just temporarily improved drainage. That’s why hydro jetting results last much longer than traditional snaking.
Professional hydro jetting is safe for most pipe materials when done correctly. We adjust water pressure based on your specific pipe type, age, and condition. Before starting, we often perform a video inspection to assess pipe integrity and identify any areas that need special attention. Our equipment allows precise pressure control, so we can clean effectively without causing damage. If your pipes are too fragile for hydro jetting, we’ll let you know upfront and recommend alternative solutions.
Most residential customers see results that last 2-4 years, depending on usage patterns and what goes down their drains. Homes with heavy grease disposal or large families might need service more frequently, while light-use situations often go longer between cleanings. The key difference from snaking is that hydro jetting removes the buildup that causes recurring problems, rather than just creating temporary flow. We’ll give you realistic expectations based on your specific situation and usage patterns.
Yes, hydro jetting is highly effective at cutting through and removing tree roots that have infiltrated your sewer line. The high-pressure water can slice through root masses and flush them out of the system. However, if roots have caused significant pipe damage or if there are major structural issues, hydro jetting alone might not be a permanent solution. We’ll use video inspection to show you the extent of any root problems and discuss whether additional repairs are needed to prevent roots from returning.
The process typically takes 1-3 hours depending on the extent of blockages and the length of line being cleaned. We’ll need access to your main cleanout or drain access points, and there will be some noise from our equipment. Most of the work happens outside or in utility areas, so disruption to your daily routine is minimal. You might notice some temporary water discoloration immediately after service as loosened debris clears the system, but this resolves quickly. We clean up our work area and properly dispose of any waste materials.
Hydro jetting costs vary based on the length of line being cleaned, accessibility, and severity of blockages. Most residential jobs range from $350-$800, which often costs less than multiple service calls for recurring drain problems. We provide upfront pricing after assessing your specific situation, so you know exactly what you’re paying before work begins. While hydro jetting costs more than basic snaking, the longer-lasting results and thorough cleaning often make it more cost-effective over time, especially if you’ve been dealing with recurring drainage issues.
