A cable machine (drain snake) is the right tool for most clogs — it breaks up or retrieves the obstruction and restores flow. But if the same drain keeps clogging every few months, or if a kitchen line is coated with years of grease buildup, snaking only punches a hole through the problem. The pipe walls stay coated, and the clog comes back.

Hydro jetting uses a high-pressure water stream fed through a specialized nozzle to scour the inside of the pipe clean. The nozzle sprays water forward to break up blockages and backward to propel itself through the line while cleaning the walls. Grease, scale, mineral deposits, and debris are flushed out completely — not just pushed aside.

Before we jet any line, we run a camera inspection to check the pipe condition. Hydro jetting is highly effective on pipes in good condition, but we would not jet a pipe that is severely corroded or cracked — in those cases, repair comes first. This is standard practice and protects your pipes.
