Hydro-jetting involves using water under high pressure. Hydro-jetting is usually utilized for larger, more persistent clogs, as it affects all of your pipes, rather than just one, which is more likely to solve the bigger issue permanently. While drain snaking can be done by anybody, hydro-jetting is a much more complicated process that requires extensive knowledge from a certified plumber at The Plumbing Works.

There are various benefits of hydro-jetting. Thanks to the high pressure, hydro-jetting removes clogs quickly and efficiently. Hydro-jetting can also be used to clear clogs and tree roots blocking the flow of your pipes. Lastly, hydro-jetting clears out grease, minerals, hair, and other buildup in your pipes.

Hydro-jetting is highly unlikely to damage your pipes. While hydro-jetting is extremely powerful, it is actually more gentle than an auger. Additionally, your The Plumbing Works plumber will always perform a camera inspection prior to hydro-jetting your pipes to assess the situation, and make sure it is safe to hydro-jet your pipes.

Hydro-jetting works by using high-pressure water to break through blockages in pipes, drains and sewers.
