A person wearing black boots uses a red plumbing snake to clear a clogged drain, surrounded by dirty water and oil stains on the concrete surface.

Why Choose Hydro Jetting?

Unlike a traditional sewer snake, which often creates a small opening through a blockage, hydro jetting cleans the inside of the pipe.

High-pressure water removes:

Grease and Cooking Oil

Sludge and Sediment

Mineral Buildup

Soap Residue

Hair and Paper Debris

Food Particles

Small Root Fibers

How Hydro Jetting Works

We insert a flexible jetting hose through a sewer cleanout or drain opening. This hose has specialized nozzles that direct high-pressure water forward and backward inside the pipe.

The forward-facing jets break apart blockages while the rear-facing jets propel the hose through the line and flush loosened debris out of the pipe.

Different nozzle designs allow us to match the cleaning method to the type of buildup inside.

For heavy root intrusion, we may combine hydro jetting with mechanical root cutting to expunge roots and debris.

A high-pressure water jet cleans the inside of a large, muddy pipe or drain, removing debris and buildup.

When Is Hydro Jetting Recommended?

Hydro jetting is ideal for:

  • Recurring drain backups
  • Slow drains throughout the home
  • Heavy grease buildup
  • Mineral scale inside older pipes
  • Sewer maintenance
  • Restaurant and commercial drain cleaning

A sewer camera inspection evaluates your sewer line to make sure hydro jetting will work.

A person wearing gloves and work boots uses a plumbing snake to unclog an outdoor drain on a tiled surface.
