Hydro Jetting 4,000 PSI clears what snaking leaves behind.

WHAT IT IS

What hydro jetting actually does inside your pipe.

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water, delivered through a specialized nozzle at up to 4,000 PSI, to scour the interior walls of a sewer pipe. Unlike a snake, which punches a hole through a blockage, hydro jetting removes the blockage material entirely and cleans the pipe wall back to near-original bore.

Grease accumulations, mineral scale, silt deposits, and soft root intrusions that have built up over years are stripped from the wall in a single pass. The nozzle sprays forward to cut through blockages and backward to flush debris down the line and away from the property.

Hydro jetting is also the required pre-treatment before CIPP pipe lining. The liner must bond to a clean pipe wall; any debris, scale, or organic material left behind can cause voids in the liner adhesion. LiningWorks always jets before any lining installation.

Every hydro jetting service begins with a camera inspection so we know what we're cleaning (material type, blockage location, and pipe condition) before any pressure is applied. We don't jet pipes that are too fragile to handle the pressure.

PROBLEMS HYDRO JETTING RESOLVES

Drain and sewer problems hydro jetting eliminates.

These are the four conditions that hydro jetting resolves by removing the buildup itself, not just the blockage it causes. If your drain has one of these, snaking clears it temporarily; hydro jetting removes the coating causing the recurrence.

• Grease buildup that recurs within weeks of snaking

  Grease coats the pipe wall. Snaking punches through it but leaves the coating. Hydro jetting strips the wall clean, eliminating the surface grease returns to.
• Mineral scale narrowing the pipe bore progressively

  Hard water deposits calcify on cast iron and older pipes. Hydro jetting removes the scale layer and restores near-full diameter in one pass.
• Silt and debris compacted in low-sloped drain lines

  Flat or low-slope runs trap sediment. Hydro jetting's backward-spray nozzle flushes compacted material fully out of the line.
• Soft root masses blocking the line between hard joints

  Fine root webs and soft root masses in the pipe bore are flushed clear by hydro jetting, though cracks and joint gaps that let them in require lining to restore structural integrity.

BEFORE & AFTER

Grease-blocked sewer line, hydro jetted, full bore restored.

A SouthPark condominium with a kitchen drain that backed up monthly despite repeated snaking. Hydro jetting stripped 8mm of grease coating from 55 feet of 4-inch ABS. The blockage that was snaked through every month was the wall coating, not a discrete plug.
