Hydro jetting is a professional drain and sewer cleaning method that uses highly pressurized water—often up to 4,000 PSI—to remove stubborn blockages and thoroughly clean the inside of pipes. Unlike drain snakes, which simply punch through a clog, hydro jetting removes grease, sludge, soap residue, mineral buildup, tree roots, and other debris from pipe walls.
Hydro jetting is commonly recommended for:
- Slow or frequently clogged drains
- Grease buildup in kitchen drain lines
- Tree root intrusion in sewer pipes
- Commercial plumbing systems
- Preventive sewer maintenance
Before hydro jetting is performed, many plumbers conduct a sewer camera inspection to verify the condition of the pipes and ensure they can safely withstand the cleaning process.
