How Does Hydro Jetting Work?

The service begins with our skilled technician performing a detailed inspection of your system to check for damage. If it looks like your pipes and drains can handle it, they will insert the jetting hose into your plumbing and pump an appropriate level of water pressure into your pipes. This level can be adjusted based on the condition of your system, being able to pressurize the water up to 35,000 psi! The water will scour the walls of your pipes, removing buildup, and gravity will move that debris down, so it is safely flushed out of your home. This makes the process not only great for destroying clogs, but also maintains the overall health of your pipes.

It is always recommended to have hydro jetting done by a professional because of the specialized tools used and how meticulous the service needs to be. Performing this work incorrectly can cause severe damage to your pipes.

Now that you know what hydro jetting is and how it works, you might be wondering if it is right for your home, and the best person to answer this is a licensed and experienced plumber.

However, if you are a good candidate, there are plenty of benefits to hydro jetting versus other drain cleaning solutions.

Benefits of hydro jetting include:
