Are you struggling with repeat clogged drains? The problem may lie farther in your sewer line. Heavy buildup of grease, sludge, and corrosion can block your pipes and result in frequent drain clogs. When the buildup is that extreme, we recommend hydro jetting.
Hydro jetting is a method of drain cleaning that is much more thorough than snaking or using the plunger. It involves blasting high-pressure water into your drain line and scouring pipe walls clean throughout the length of the line.

When To Consider Hydro Jetting Instead of Drain Cleaning
Choosing between hydro jetting and drain cleaning depends on the nature of the clog you’re dealing with. For example, hydro jetting offers the only proper solution to deep sewer line clogs. While drain snakes work well on shallow clogs, they don’t cure the problem 100%.
Typical telltale signs that your system needs hydro jetting include:
Regular system backups
Noisy or gurgling pipes
Frequent clogging despite being mindful of what goes down your drains
Smelly kitchen and bathroom drains
Slow draining
A drain snake won’t completely scour the inside of the pipe as a hydro jetting tool would. Therefore, the clog may recur within a couple of months. Hydro jetting clears out the pipe, leaving it as good as new.
The best way to determine the proper drain cleaning option for your situation is to contact us at Chris Wilson Plumbing & Heating Repairs Inc. If you’re in doubt about whether you need hydro jetting service, reach out to our drain cleaning experts to schedule an inspection.
Cons of Hydrojetting
When it comes to clearing clogs, nothing beats hydro jetting. However, just like any other plumbing service, hydro jetting has several drawbacks.
It May Damage Old, Frail Pipes: The high pressure typical of hydro jetting could damage older and weaker pipes. Before recommending hydro jetting, our team will inspect your pipes with a sewer camera to ensure they can handle the highly pressurized water.
Requires Professional Expertise: Hydro jetting is not your typical DIY plumbing job. Only experienced hydro jetting experts have the training and equipment to hydro jet your pipes without damaging them.
Uses Lots of Water: While hydro jetting doesn’t use harsh chemicals, it requires plenty of water, which isn’t ideal during California’s drought.
Hydro Jetting vs. Traditional Drain Cleaning Methods
When comparing hydro jetting to traditional drain cleaning methods, it becomes clear that hydro jetting offers a superior solution for tough clogs. Traditional methods like snaking and chemical treatments might address surface problems but often fail to provide a long-term solution, as they can leave behind residue and buildup within the pipes.
On the other hand, hydro jetting uses a powerful stream of water to thoroughly clean the interior surfaces of pipes. This ensures not only the removal of clogs but also a deep cleaning that prevents new blockages from forming. Understanding these differences can help homeowners make informed decisions based on their plumbing needs.
Preparing Your Home for Hydro Jetting Services
Preparing for hydro jetting services is essential to ensure the process goes smoothly and effectively. Homeowners should inform their plumbing service of any known issues and potential problem areas in the plumbing system. Clearing space around access points can also facilitate quick service and help technicians perform their job without delay.
Additionally, it’s a good practice to review your plumbing history with the service provider. This information helps technicians assess the specific needs of your plumbing and tailor their approach. By taking these simple steps, homeowners can maximize the benefits of hydro jetting and support a successful service experience.
