Hydro jetting in Winchester & the surrounding counties

Hydro jetting for lines that keep clogging.

Grease, scale or roots that a drain machine only pokes a hole through? Hydro jetting scours the inside of the pipe with high-pressure water, so the line is clean wall to wall. Our Winchester team does it.

Hydro jetting

“It was cleared last month, and it's backing up again.”

A drain machine opens a path. Hydro jetting cleans the whole pipe.

Hydro jetting sends water at very high pressure through a special nozzle that scrubs the pipe walls as it travels down the line. It cuts through grease, soap scum, scale and roots, and flushes it all away, so the line stays clear far longer than after a standard drain cleaning.

It suits kitchen lines full of grease, main lines with recurring clogs and commercial drains. Your plumber checks the line first, since very old or damaged pipe may need repair rather than jetting, and gives you a written price before starting.

Snake or jet?

Drain cleaning vs. hydro jetting

Both clear clogs. They do different jobs.

Drain machine

Snaking

A rotating cable breaks through the clog. Quick, lower cost and right for most single clogs.

Hydro jetting

Jetting

High-pressure water cleans the full width of the pipe, removing the build-up that causes repeat clogs.

Is it right for your line?

When hydro jetting makes sense.

It's the most thorough way to clean a line, as long as the pipe is sound.

Plumber clearing a floor drain
Good fit

Sound pipe, heavy build-up

Grease, scale and roots in a pipe that's otherwise in good shape.

Kitchen lines, main lines and commercial drains.

Sewer cleanout with a drain hose
Not a fit

Broken or collapsed pipe

Jetting can't fix a crack, a sag or a collapsed section.

Those need sewer line repair, and a camera shows which you have.

What affects the price

  • Length and size of the line
  • How heavy the build-up is
  • Access to a cleanout
  • Whether a camera inspection is added

Hydro jetting FAQs

Questions about hydro jetting

What it is, when it's worth it and what it costs.

How much does hydro jetting cost? +
What is hydro jetting used for? +

Cleaning drain and sewer lines that have grease, soap scum, scale or roots built up on the walls. It's often used on kitchen lines, main lines with repeat clogs and commercial drains.

Is hydro jetting worth it? +

When a line keeps clogging because of build-up, yes. It cleans the full width of the pipe, so it stays clear longer than after snaking. For a one-time clog, standard drain cleaning is usually enough.

Can hydro jetting damage pipes? +

On sound pipe, no. Very old, cracked or collapsed pipe can be damaged, which is why we check the line first and may recommend a camera inspection.

Do you offer hydro jetting in Norfolk or Wilmington? +

Hydro jetting is offered by our Winchester branch. In Norfolk and Wilmington, our plumbers clear lines with drain machines and can inspect them with a camera.
