FAQs
What is high-pressure hydro-jetting and how does it clear clogged drains?
Hydro-jetting is a drain-cleaning method that uses a specialized hose and nozzle to blast water at pressures up to 4,000 psi through your plumbing lines. The force of the water scours away grease, soap residue, mineral scale, sludge, and even small tree roots, flushing the debris completely out of the pipe and restoring it to near-original diameter. Because only water is used—no harsh chemicals—hydro-jetting is environmentally friendly and leaves your lines clean rather than simply poked open.
Is hydro-jetting safe for older or PVC pipes?
Yes—when performed by a licensed, experienced plumber. Before we hydro-jet, we perform a camera inspection to verify pipe material and condition. If we find brittle cast iron, cracked clay tile, or joints that could separate, we can dial down the pressure or recommend a different solution. For sound PVC, ABS, copper, or newer cast-iron lines, hydro-jetting is completely safe and actually prolongs pipe life by removing corrosive build-up.
When should I choose hydro-jetting instead of traditional drain snaking?
Snaking is good for punching a hole through soft clogs, but it leaves lots of debris on the pipe walls. Choose hydro-jetting when you have: • recurring blockages or slow drains • heavy grease in kitchen lines • soap and hair buildup in bathroom stacks • commercial lines with food waste • scale or sediment from hard water • intrusive roots in sewer laterals. Hydro-jetting cleans the entire pipe circumference, reducing the chance of another clog for years.
How long does a typical hydro-jetting service take and will it disrupt my home or business in McDonald?
Most residential jobs take 60-90 minutes from setup to final camera inspection. Larger commercial lines may require 2-3 hours. We access the drain through an existing clean-out or a pulled toilet, so there’s no digging and minimal mess. You can remain in your home or keep your business open; we simply shut off water to the affected fixtures while we work and clean the area thoroughly before leaving.

How much does hydro-jetting cost and what factors affect the price?
