Benefits of Hydro Jetting

Clears minor and major clogs: Hydro jetting makes short work of even the toughest clogs. Years of grease buildup, plastics, fabrics, and even tree roots don't stand a chance when they come in contact with a high-capacity pressure jet.
Safe and all-natural: Since a hydro jet uses high-pressure water with no chemicals, it's safe to use and has no adverse side effects to speak of.
Works for different kinds of piping: Depending on the age of your home, your pipes could be made of copper, CPVP, PEX, or something else. Hydro jetting, however, is safe to use on all residential piping materials.
Improves drainage: In Florida, it's common to see grease and waste buildup inside pipes. This buildup can prevent your plumbing fixtures from draining properly. When you clear your drains, it removes this buildup, improving your home's drainage.
Prolongs life of the pipes: When your pipes are cleaned out, it prevents debris from corroding or breaking your pipes. Hydro jetting can actually extend the life of your home's piping and thus increase the retail value of your home.

Hydro Jetting Service FAQs

Is hydro jetting safe for older pipes?

Yes, with a camera inspection first - we check your pipes are structurally sound before applying pressure, and we dial the pressure down for older lines.

How is hydro jetting different from drain snaking?

Snaking just punches a hole through the clog, while hydro jetting scours the entire pipe wall clean with high-pressure water, removing grease, scale, and roots completely.

Can hydro jetting remove tree roots from a sewer line?

Yes, it's highly effective at cutting through and flushing out root masses - but the roots will return unless the entry point is repaired or lined.

How often should a sewer line be hydro jetted?

Most homes benefit from hydro jetting every 1–2 years as preventive maintenance, though homes with heavy root intrusion or grease buildup may need it more often.
