What Is Hydro Jetting and When Do You Need It?
When a plunger or drain snake isn’t enough, hydro jetting is the next level of drain cleaning — and it’s one of the most effective methods available. At Santa Monica Drain Co., we often recommend it for tough clogs and recurring blockages.
What Is Hydro Jetting?
Hydro jetting uses a high-pressure stream of water to scour the inside of your pipes. This pressure (up to 4,000 PSI) is strong enough to:
- Break apart tough clogs
- Remove grease, scale, and debris
- Wash away tree roots
- Restore pipe diameter to near original
When to Consider Hydro Jetting:
- Recurring clogs despite multiple cleanings
- Grease buildup in kitchen drains
- Tree root intrusion in sewer lines
- Preparation before sewer lining or repair
Benefits:
- Chemical-free and environmentally friendly
- Cleans the entire pipe, not just the clog
- Helps prevent future blockages
Hydro jetting is safe for most modern plumbing, but older or damaged pipes should be inspected first. We always perform a camera inspection before jetting to ensure it’s the right choice for your system.
