What is hydro jetting?
A professional drain-cleaning technique using high-pressure water
Hydro jetting is a professional drain-cleaning technique that uses high-pressure water to completely clean the inside of your pipes. Unlike snaking, which only creates a hole through the clog, hydro jetting scours the entire pipe wall and resets the maintenance clock.
- High-pressure water blast: Water pressures up to 4,000 PSI break apart stubborn blockages and accumulated debris.
- Complete pipe cleaning: Removes grease, sludge, roots, and obstructions to restore full flow.
- Safe and eco-friendly: Compatible with most residential materials including PVC, copper, and cast iron. Uses no harsh chemicals.

Our process
How our hydro jetting service works
The visit is structured so customers know what is happening and why. No surprises, no upsell pressure, no hidden line items.
Initial video inspection
We assess the pipe condition and locate blockages using a high-definition camera before any jetting begins. This ensures we use the right nozzle and pressure for your specific situation.
Hydro jetting application
High-pressure water clears debris, grease, scale, and roots based on inspection findings. We match nozzle and pressure to the pipe: chain knocker for scale, flushing for grease, root cutter for sewer lines.
Final inspection
A post-clean camera confirms pipes are clear and documents the pipe condition. We provide maintenance recommendations to keep your drains flowing.
