Hydro Jetting: A Guide To How To Works
Hydro jetting is far more effective at thoroughly cleaning drains and pipes than over-the-counter clog removers. The hydro jetting process involves using highly pressurized water sprayed through specialized nozzles that we insert deep within your plumbing system. The water we spray is pressurized to between 1,500 and 4,000 psi. This highlights the importance of hiring a professional because if the pressure is too high, it can cause damage to your pipes. Conversely, clogs and debris won’t be removed effectively if the pressure is too low.
Once inserted, the water flowing through the system’s multiple nozzles sprays out in a circular motion within the pipe. This motion can remove food debris, solid waste, grease, fat, and even tree roots that have broken through the pipe.
Signs You Need Hydro Jetting Services
You will likely notice problems with your plumbing that can indicate the need for hydro jetting. The following are some of the most common signs you may experience in your home:
- Slow drainage: As the clog or obstruction shrinks the interior diameter of the pipe, it will restrict the flow of water through the drains.
- Sewage backups: Sewage backups into drains, sinks, or toilets indicate a significant clog preventing water discharge into the main sewer line.
- Noxious odors: Noxious odors occur when bacteria feed and proliferate on debris within the wastewater.
- Bubbling or gurgling: These sounds occur as water tries to force its way through the pipe, causing air to get trapped and making a bubbling or gurgling sound as the water drains.
- Discolored water: Discolored water, often cloudy, indicates a significant buildup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can't I just rent a hydro jetting system?
You can, but it’s not advisable. If you have damaged pipes or apply the incorrect pressure, it’s very easy to cause extensive damage to your plumbing. Thus, it’s easier and less expensive to hire a professional.
What happens if my pipes are clogged because of obstructions such as tree roots, damaged pipes, etc.?
If the obstruction can be removed without damaging the pipe, we can hydro jet and perform pipe repairs to restore the integrity of the pipe. However, if the pipe is damaged due to corrosion, collapse, etc., we’ll recommend pipe repairs to safely and permanently restore the condition of your pipes.
