What Hydro Jetting Does
Hydro jetting directs a pressurized water stream — typically 1,500 to 4,000 PSI depending on pipe diameter and blockage type — through a specialized nozzle to scour the inside of your drain or sewer line completely clean.
Unlike a drain snake, which punches a channel through a clog, hydro jetting removes the entire obstruction along with the layer of grease, scale, or organic material coating the pipe wall. The result is a pipe that flows like new.
When Hydro Jetting Is the Right Tool
- ✓Kitchen drain lines coated with grease that has hardened over months or years
- ✓Main sewer lines with tree root debris after mechanical root cutting
- ✓Commercial lines in restaurants, apartment buildings, or industrial facilities
- ✓Any drain that has been snaked multiple times with diminishing results
- ✓Pre-sale or pre-lining pipe cleaning before a camera inspection or relining job
Chemical-Free and Environmentally Sound
Hydro jetting uses only water. No caustic chemicals, no solvents, no residue left behind in the pipe or in the municipal sewer system. For homeowners with older plumbing, young children, or pets, it is the safest drain cleaning method available.
It is also the method we recommend before pipe lining — a thoroughly cleaned pipe surface ensures the epoxy bonds correctly to the wall. Heavy scale may require mechanical pipe descaling first.
What to Expect
Camera inspection
We confirm hydro jetting is appropriate and check for structural vulnerabilities before applying pressure.
Nozzle selection
We choose the nozzle based on pipe diameter, material, and the type of blockage or buildup.
Jetting pass
We work backward from the obstruction, with the nozzle pulling itself through the pipe as it jets.
Post-jet camera verification
A final camera pass confirms the pipe wall is clear and full flow is restored.
Documentation
You receive before-and-after footage and a written service confirmation.

Common questions about hydro jetting
Can hydro jetting damage older pipes?
Done correctly, no. We always run a camera inspection first to assess pipe condition and material. If a pipe has structural damage — cracks, root punctures, significant corrosion — we identify it before jetting and address it first.
How often should drain lines be hydro jetted?
For most homes, once every 18–24 months for kitchen lines and every few years for the main sewer line. Commercial kitchens and high-volume buildings typically need more frequent service.
Is hydro jetting the same as regular snaking?
No. A snake removes soft blockages by mechanical action — hooking or breaking up the clog. Hydro jetting removes the clog and scours the pipe wall clean, eliminating the residue that causes recurrence. It's a more thorough treatment.
Will hydro jetting remove tree roots permanently?
It flushes out root debris after mechanical cutting, but doesn't prevent regrowth. If root intrusion is ongoing, CIPP pipe lining is the long-term fix — the epoxy surface creates a barrier roots cannot penetrate.
