Hydro jetting is a drain-cleaning method that uses high-pressure water — up to 4,000 PSI — delivered through a specialized hose and nozzle inside the pipe. The water blasts away grease, scale, soap, debris, and tree roots, restoring the pipe’s full flow. Unlike a cable snake that just punches a hole through the clog, jetting scours the pipe wall clean.
How hydro jetting works
- A high-pressure hose and nozzle are fed into the line
- Forward jets propel the hose down the pipe
- Rear-facing jets scour the pipe walls clean
- Debris is flushed back to the cleanout or sewer
- A follow-up camera scope confirms the line is clear
Hydro jetting is the right tool for grease-heavy kitchen lines, root-infested sewer mains, and any line that clogs repeatedly. Book hydro jetting for stubborn drains, or use standard drain cleaning for a single-time clog.
