Answers to Hydro Jetting FAQs

WHAT IS HYDRO JETTING?

Think of sewer jetting as a pressure washer—but for your pipes. We force highly pressurized water through drain and sewer lines, flushing out debris buildup and scouring the pipe interior clean. The water pressure reaches up to 4,000 PSI, which means it can break up congealed grease, tree roots, and other tough clogs.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Before pipe jetting, we inspect your pipes with a specialized camera to assess their condition. We also locate and identify the cause of the clogs. After setting up our equipment, we blast high-pressure water into the pipes to clear the obstructions blocking water flow. The result is free-flowing pipes that are less susceptible to clogging in the future.

IS IT RISKY TO USE HYDRO JETTING ON OLDER PIPES?

Hydro jetting services are applicable for old pipes as long as they are stable enough to withstand high water pressure. If the pipes are too brittle, we may recommend a different cleaning method or replace them altogether.

HOW WILL YOU ACCESS THE PIPES?

We insert the hydro jet hose through the cleanout, a capped pipe sticking a few inches above the ground. It is usually located outside of your home. For smaller drains, we can access the line the same way when snaking a toilet or tub.
