When Your Clogged Drain Needs Hydro Jetting

December 1, 2022

A clogged drain can be a real problem, preventing water from flowing freely and making it difficult to run the dishwasher, take a shower, or flush toilets. While there are many DIY solutions for dealing with a clogged drain, calling professionals is often a sure bet. Hydro jetting is a powerful technique that can be beneficial in clearing away even the most stubborn blockages.

What Is Hydro Jetting?

Hydro jetting is a process of using high-pressure water to unclog or clean drains. The water is forced through a small opening at high pressure and then quickly expands, breaking up any clogs or blockages in its path. 

What Is Hydro Jetting?

Cleaning your pipes and removing blockages should not be a struggle. Here are circumstances when hydro jetting is needed: 

  • Fixing a slow drain. If you've tried everything to unclog your drain and it's still moving slowly, it may be time to hydro jet. The high-pressure water will break up any stubborn clogs and get your drain flowing again.
  • Repeated clogs. If you're constantly dealing with clogged drains, it may be due to a build up of grease, soap scum, or hair. Hydro jetting can remove this build up and help keep your drains clear longer than plunging or snaking.
  • Smell or roots in your pipes. Tree roots can invade your sewer line and cause blockages. Also, the odor smell can signify that your drainage needs a thorough hydro jetting.
  • When preparing for new construction. Hydro jetting the drains first will help ensure that they're free of debris and build up for any construction or renovation work requiring cutting into your pipes. This will help minimize the risk of damage to your pipes during construction.

When to Call a Professional

A hydro jetting professional can be a great asset in drain cleaning. Call a professional if you experience the following:


  • An increase in the amount of clogs
  • Slowing drains
  • Foul smells from the drains
  • Waste overflow and debris
