What Is Hydro Jetting & Why Does It Work?
Hydro jetting is the most thorough drain cleaning method available. Our truck-mounted equipment blasts water at up to 4,000 PSI through your pipes, scrubbing every inch of the pipe wall clean, not just clearing a path through the clog.
Unlike traditional drain snaking, which can leave behind grease film and debris that causes clogs to return quickly, hydro jetting leaves your pipes as clean as when they were installed.
Before we jet any line, we run a camera inspection to confirm the pipe can handle the pressure and to locate exactly where the blockage is. This ensures a safe, targeted, and effective clean every time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is hydro jetting?
Hydro jetting is a professional drain cleaning method that uses a high-pressure stream of water, typically 3,000 to 8,000 PSI, to blast away blockages, grease, scale, and debris from inside your pipes. Unlike a snake, which just punches a hole through a clog, hydro jetting scours the entire pipe wall clean.
Is hydro jetting safe for my pipes?
Yes, when performed by a trained plumber. We inspect your pipes with a camera before jetting to confirm they are in good enough condition. Hydro jetting is safe for cast iron, PVC, and most modern pipe materials.
How long does hydro jetting take?
Most residential hydro jetting jobs take 1 to 2 hours. Commercial or severely blocked lines may take longer. We will give you a time estimate after the initial inspection.
