Hydro Jetting Services
When a drain keeps clogging, it is usually not just “a blockage.” It is buildup stuck to the inside of the pipe. Hydro jetting is a high-pressure cleaning method that washes the pipe walls clean, helping restore proper flow and reduce repeat clogs.
If you are dealing with slow drains, recurring backups, sewer odors, or gurgling fixtures, hydro jetting may be the most effective next step.
What Hydro Jetting Is
Hydro jetting uses specialized equipment to send a controlled stream of high-pressure water through a drain or sewer line. Instead of simply punching a hole through a clog, it scrubs residue off the interior of the pipe.
It is commonly used for:
interior drain lines with heavy buildup
branch lines feeding into the main
main sewer lines with recurring backups (when conditions allow)
When Hydro Jetting Makes Sense
Hydro jetting is usually recommended when the issue is recurring or when basic drain clearing has not solved the problem for long.
Common signs include:
the same drain clogging again and again
multiple drains slowing down or backing up
toilets bubbling when other fixtures drain
sewer odors that come and go
backups after laundry, showers, or dishwashing
slow drainage that gradually worsens over weeks or months
If you are not sure whether you need a snake, jetting, or an inspection first, that is normal. We can help you choose the right approach based on the symptoms and what we find on-site.
What Hydro Jetting Can Clear Out
Hydro jetting is built for the sticky, layered stuff that lines the pipe walls over time, including:
grease and cooking oils
soap residue and scum
sludge and organic buildup
paper and soft debris accumulation
certain types of mineral scale buildup
some root-related obstructions, depending on the line condition
If the line is damaged, collapsed, or has a sag that holds water, cleaning can help temporarily, but a repair plan may be needed for a lasting fix.
Hydro Jetting vs Snaking
A drain snake is often the right first move for a simple clog. Hydro jetting is different. It is a deep clean that targets buildup and restores the full interior diameter of the pipe as much as possible.
In practice:
snaking helps when there is a single obstruction
hydro jetting helps when buildup is the root cause of repeat clogs
If a clog keeps returning, hydro jetting is often the step that stops the cycle.
Is Hydro Jetting Safe for Older Pipes?
Hydro jetting can be safe for many pipe types when pressure and technique are matched to the system. The key is knowing what condition the line is in.
If there are signs the pipe may be compromised, or if the line history is unknown, a camera inspection may be recommended before jetting. That keeps the plan smart and avoids guesswork.

Hydro jetting cost factors
Hydro jetting pricing depends on the situation in the line, not just the name of the service. A few factors that can affect cost include:
whether it is a smaller interior line or a main sewer line
how severe the buildup is and how long clearing takes
whether a cleanout is available for access
whether a camera inspection is recommended first
whether the issue involves recurring buildup that needs deeper cleaning
If you tell us what you are seeing and where you are located, we can usually set expectations clearly before booking.

Hydro Jetting FAQ
How long does hydro jetting take?
Many jobs can be completed in a single visit, but the timeline depends on the length of the line, severity of buildup, and whether an inspection is recommended first.
Will hydro jetting stop clogs from coming back?
It can significantly reduce repeat clogs when buildup is the main cause. If the underlying issue is roots, pipe damage, or poor slope, cleaning helps, but repairs or prevention may be needed for a long-term fix.
Do i need a cleanout?
A cleanout helps for main line work, but it is not always required. If you are not sure you have one, we can help identify the best access point during the visit.
Can hydro jetting remove roots?
Hydro jetting can help clear certain root intrusions depending on conditions, but if roots are actively entering the line, you may need ongoing prevention or a repair plan to stop repeat problems.
