Hydro Jetting

If blocked drains and slow-running pipes are left unaddressed in your home, they can quickly turn into sewage backups and costly pipe damage. At Tru Plumbing and Gas, we offer hydro jetting services that go far beyond surface-level fixes, giving your pipes a deep clean. Whether you're dealing with stubborn grease buildup, recurring clogs in your home's main line, or years of accumulated scale slowing everything down, hydro jetting is one of the most effective drain-clearing solutions available.

Hydro Jetting Services

Standard drain cleaning methods, such as snaking, can temporarily clear a clog, but they often leave behind buildup that causes the problem to recur months later. Tru Plumbing and Gas provides hydro jetting services to completely clean your pipes from the inside out, restoring them to good working order and eliminating the source of your clog or backup. 

What Is Hydro Jetting?

Hydro jetting is a professional drain and sewer cleaning method that uses highly pressurized water to scour the interior walls of pipes. It’s an ideal solution for grease, scale, tree root intrusions, mineral deposits, and years of accumulated debris. Depending on the severity of the blockage, the water is blasted at 1,500 to 4,000 PSI to restore drainage and prevent future clogs. 

How Hydro Jetting Works

Before we hydro jet your pipes, we insert a high-definition camera into them to assess their condition and identify any blockages. This step guarantees that hydro jetting is the right approach and that your pipe walls are strong enough to withstand the pressure. 

Once we've completed the inspection, a flexible hose is fitted with a specialized jetting nozzle and inserted into the pipe. The nozzle is designed to direct high-pressure water forward and backward simultaneously to break up blockages and flush debris downstream. 

Signs You Need Hydro Jetting for Your Drains

While our professional plumbers will make sure that hydro jetting is the best solution, there are common warning signs that your pipes could benefit from a thorough hydro jetting service:

• Recurring clogs: Clogs that recur after snaking usually indicate deeper blockages. 
• Multiple drain backups: Multiple clogs are almost always a sign that your sewer line is blocked.
• Multiple slow drains: Your main line connects to multiple pipes, and a deeper clog can cause slow drains throughout your home.
• Gurgling sounds: If you hear gurgling sounds from your toilet or sinks after the water drains, this points to a sewer line clog.
• Foul odors: Bad smells indicate the buildup of grease or other organic matter.

Benefits of Hydro Jetting

The advantages of hydro jetting go well beyond simply clearing a blockage. Here are the reasons it's one of the most effective drain cleaning solutions available:

• Complete pipe cleaning that scrubs the interior walls
• Long-lasting results
• Environmentally friendly
• Eliminates bacteria

Our Hydro Jetting Services

Tru Plumbing and Gas handles all residential hydro jetting for homes as well as commercial water jetting for retail businesses, offices, and restaurants.

Residential hydro jetting

Home plumbing systems accumulate grease, soap scum, hair, mineral deposits, and other debris over the years. Our residential hydro jetting service is tailored to fit all pipe sizes and layouts found in homes. The service provides a long-lasting, deep clean. We recommend getting this service once a year or every two years, depending on your home’s history of clogs.

Commercial hydro jetting

High-traffic commercial areas such as restaurants, office buildings, retail centers, and industrial facilities require hydro jetting more frequently than residential communities. This is especially true for commercial kitchens that have grease buildup. For commercial businesses, we recommend hydro jetting services twice a year.

Hydro Jetting vs Drain Snaking

Both hydro jetting and drain snaking are effective tools and plumbing techniques, but they serve different purposes. Hydro jetting completely cleans the interior walls of your pipes and removes clogs made from grease buildup, tree root intrusions, and hard mineral scale. For recurring clogs, main sewer line issues, or pipes with significant buildup, hydro jetting is needed.

Drain snaking uses a long, flexible cable that's fed into a drain to break apart or pull out a specific clog. It's fast, relatively affordable, and effective for simple, minor, and isolated blockages, such as a wad of hair near a drain.

Is Hydro Jetting a Safe Drain Cleaning Method?

Hydro jetting is extremely safe when performed by a licensed, experienced plumber who follows the correct process. The key is to assess the pipe’s condition before blasting it with high-pressure water.

Compatibility with different pipe materials

PVC, cast iron, copper, and older pipes all have different pressure tolerance levels. PVC and copper pipes are common in newer homes and handle hydro jetting well at standard pressures. Cast iron pipes are found in older properties and, while durable, can have corroded sections that require a more careful approach. 

By first examining the interior condition of your pipes, our plumbers identify any deterioration, cracks, or weaknesses before applying water pressure. Water pressure is adjusted specifically for the pipe material and condition, and the nozzle is carefully guided to avoid any weakened sections. 

Addressing homeowner concerns

Will high-pressure water damage your pipes? It’s a common concern, but properly calibrated hydro jetting on pipes won’t cause damage. Our plumbers adjust the water pressure based on your piping materials and condition.

Safety is our number one priority with all plumbing jobs. Our plumbers are experienced with hydro jetting equipment and camera inspections.
