Hydro Jetting
Why does this drain keep clogging?
A drain that repeatedly backs up may need more than another quick clearing. Hydro jetting uses pressurized water to strip buildup from the pipe walls, but only after the line's condition has been confirmed, so jetting is the right tool for the job.
What hydro jetting is
Cleaning the walls, not just the opening
Basic drain clearing punches through a blockage to restore flow. Hydro jetting is different: a specialized nozzle sends high-pressure water in all directions, scouring grease, scale, and buildup off the interior walls of the pipe.
Instead of clearing a path through the clog, it removes the buildup that keeps causing the clog. That's why it's considered for drains that won't stay clear.
What it can address
The kinds of buildup jetting targets
Grease & scale
A coating that narrows the line and catches debris; jetting scours it off the walls.
Soft root intrusion
Smaller roots that have entered through joints; jetting can cut them back when the line is otherwise sound.
Restricted flow
When buildup has narrowed the line enough to slow multiple fixtures, jetting restores full diameter.
Why the line gets evaluated first
Jetting a cracked or collapsed line can make things worse. That's why the line's condition matters before pressurized water goes through it, and why inspection usually comes first.
Good fit
A sound line with buildup; jetting cleans the walls and restores full flow.
Pair with inspection
When the cause isn't obvious, a camera confirms before jetting is done.
Not the fix
A cracked or collapsed line needs repair, not cleaning; jetting alone won't hold.
