What Is Hydro Jetting?
Hydro jetting (also called water jetting or hydrojet drain cleaning) is a professional plumbing technique that uses highly pressurized water, typically between 3,000 and 8,000 PSI, to scour the interior walls of your pipes. Unlike mechanical snaking, which only punches a hole through blockages, hydro jetting thoroughly cleans the entire pipe diameter, removing grease, scale, mineral deposits, soap scum, and even invasive tree roots.
Commercial Hydro Jetting
Commercial hydro jetting is essential for restaurants, hotels, healthcare facilities, and multi-unit properties where heavy drain usage leads to rapid buildup. Grease traps overflow, floor drains back up, and main sewer lines become sluggish without regular professional cleaning. Our commercial services include scheduled maintenance programs to keep your business running smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q How much does hydro jetting cost?
Hydro jetting costs typically range depending on the severity of the blockage, the accessibility of the cleanout, and the length of the pipe requiring treatment.
Commercial hydro jetting may cost more due to larger pipe diameters and extensive
systems. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what to expect before
work begins.
Q Is hydro jetting safe for old pipes?
Modern hydro jetting equipment features adjustable
pressure settings, making it safe for most pipe materials, including PVC,
cast iron, and clay. However, severely deteriorated or fragile pipes may not be
suitable candidates. That's why we always perform a camera inspection first, to
assess pipe condition and determine if hydro jetting is appropriate for your specific
situation.
Q How long does hydro jetting take?
Most hydro jetting services take 1-2 hours to
complete, including camera inspection before and after. Larger commercial
systems or severely blocked lines may require additional time. Our technicians
provide accurate time estimates after the initial assessment.
Q How often should I have my drains hydro-jetted?
Commercial properties with heavy drain usage, especially
restaurants and food service facilities, benefit from quarterly or semi-annual
cleaning. We can recommend a maintenance schedule based on your specific usage
patterns and pipe conditions.
Q Does hydro jetting work on tree roots?
Yes, hydro jetting effectively removes tree roots
that have infiltrated your sewer line. The high-pressure water cuts through
root masses and flushes them out of your system. However, if roots have caused
structural damage to your pipes, additional repairs may be necessary. Our
camera inspection identifies whether root intrusion has compromised pipe
integrity.
