Hydro Jetting
Hydro jetting uses a high-pressure water hose with a rotating nozzle to scour grease, scale and sludge off the inside of a pipe. It cleans the full diameter rather than punching a hole through the blockage.

Common signs
- Clogs that return shortly after cabling
- Heavy grease buildup in kitchen lines
- Scale buildup in older cast iron
- Sludge or debris shown on a camera inspection
What the provider typically checks
Plumbers usually run a camera first to make sure the pipe can handle the pressure. Jetting enters through a cleanout and is often followed by another camera pass to confirm the pipe is clear.
Before you call
Note where your cleanouts are if you know. Describe how often the drain has clogged and what has been tried already.

Questions
Can jetting damage pipes?
Badly deteriorated or broken pipe can be damaged by high pressure, which is why a camera inspection usually comes first.
Is jetting different from drain cleaning?
Yes. Cabling opens a path through a clog. Jetting cleans the pipe walls along the full length of the run.
Who decides what the work will cost?
The independent provider sets the scope and the charges after looking at the problem. Confirm all details directly with the provider on the call.
