Yes — hydro jetting is safe for properly installed, structurally sound pipes. The pressure is calibrated to scour buildup off pipe walls without damaging cast iron, PVC, ABS, or properly intact clay. We always recommend a camera inspection first if the pipe is older than 50 years to make sure jetting is appropriate.
When jetting is not the answer
- Collapsed or fractured Orangeburg pipe
- Severely corroded cast iron with paper-thin walls
- Pipe with major offsets or breaks
- Lines that need replacement, not cleaning
We confirm pipe condition with a camera inspection before any jetting on an older line. If the pipe needs repair, we quote sewer repair or trenchless replacement. For sound pipe, schedule full hydro jetting service.
