Hydro Jetting
Professional Hydro Jetting from licensed plumbers. Upfront pricing. Workmanship guaranteed. Serving the Golden Horseshoe since 1922.
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to completely clear drain and sewer pipes, removing root masses, grease coating, mineral scale, and debris from the pipe walls rather than simply punching a temporary channel through a blockage. Professional jetting equipment delivers water at up to 4,000 PSI through a rotary nozzle, stripping the pipe walls clean and flushing all material out of the line. The result is a pipe that is clear to its full design diameter, not just temporarily passable.
How Our Hydro Jetting Service Works
A clear, professional process every visit, every customer.
Camera First
We inspect the line with a camera before jetting to identify the blockage type and confirm the pipe can handle high-pressure cleaning.
Access Setup
We access the line through the cleanout or a convenient upstream access point and set up the jetting equipment.
High-Pressure Jetting
Water delivered at up to 4,000 PSI through a rotary nozzle strips the pipe walls clean and pushes all material downstream.
Flush and Clear
All dislodged material including roots, grease, scale, and debris is flushed completely out of the line to the municipal main.
Post-Jet Camera
A follow-up camera run confirms the line is fully clear and documents pipe condition after cleaning.
Benefits of Professional Hydro Jetting
Removes Root Material Completely
Unlike cable snaking which only cuts roots, hydro jetting pulverizes the root mass and flushes all material completely out of the line.
Strips Pipe Walls Clean
Grease coating, mineral scale, and biofilm are stripped from the internal pipe wall, restoring full pipe diameter and design flow capacity.
Extends Time Between Service Calls
A clean, jetted pipe stays clear significantly longer than one that has only been snaked, reducing annual service frequency and total long-term cost.
Essential Pre-Lining Preparation
A properly jetted host pipe ensures CIPP liner adhesion performs to full specification and design life. It is required before any liner installation.
No Chemicals Used
High-pressure water is the only cleaning agent used. No chemicals are introduced to your drain system, your property, or the municipal sewer.
Camera Inspection Before and After
We inspect the line before jetting to confirm the pipe can handle pressure, and after jetting to document the result and pipe condition.
Effective for Preventive Maintenance
Hydro jetting is used as a scheduled maintenance tool, not only as a reactive clearing service, keeping high-use lines performing year-round.
