High Pressure Jetting: When It's the Right Tool
Hydro jetting is what you want when [a cable](/services/drain-cleaning) keeps getting the line open and it keeps closing again. Jetting scours the pipe wall rather than boring a channel through whatever is coating it, which is why it lasts on grease and scale where cabling doesn't. Call [(301) 834-2944](tel:+13018342944) and tell us how many times the line has been cleared.
It isn't universally better. For a single hair mat past a trap, a cable is faster, cheaper, and correct. Jetting earns its cost on recurring problems and on lines where the restriction is the pipe wall itself.

Why Repeat Clogs Mean Coating
A line that clears and reblocks on a schedule is telling you something specific: the blockage is a lining, not a plug. The cable made a channel through it, water flowed, and the lining gradually closed the channel.
Kitchen lines do this with grease. Older lines do it with scale. Either way the fix is removing the material from the wall, and that's a pressure job.
This is also why we ask about history rather than just symptoms. A first-time clog and a fourth-time clog in the same line are different problems wearing the same coat.

Is It Safe for Older Pipe?
That's a fair question and the answer depends on the pipe, which is why the camera goes first. Sound pipe handles it. Pipe that's already cracked, badly corroded, or offset at a joint is not a candidate, and jetting it would be the wrong call.
We'd rather tell you the line needs repair than take the jetting job. Call (301) 834-2944 and we'll look before quoting.

FAQ Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers below
Is hydro jetting better than snaking? +
It's better for a different problem, not better in general. A cable handles a single obstruction well and costs less. Jetting is what removes grease and scale from the pipe wall, so it's the answer when a line keeps reblocking rather than when it's blocked once.
Can jetting damage old pipes? +
It's not appropriate for pipe that's already cracked, heavily corroded, or offset at a joint, which is exactly why the line gets camera'd first. Sound pipe handles it. If yours isn't sound, cleaning isn't your fix anyway.
How long does it last? +
Longer than cabling on a coated line, because the coating is gone rather than perforated. How long depends on what put it there: a kitchen line that keeps receiving grease will build up again over time.
