When a drain clogs again and again, a cable snake is only part of the answer. Snaking opens a path through the blockage, but it leaves the greasy, scaled pipe walls behind - which is exactly what catches debris and starts the next clog. Hydro-jetting takes a different approach: it cleans the entire inside of the pipe.
Plumber Cumming GA provides professional hydro-jetting in Cumming, GA for homes and businesses throughout Forsyth County. Using high-pressure water and specialized nozzles, we restore drains and sewer lines to near-new condition. Call (770) 230-0428 to schedule hydro-jetting service.
How Hydro-Jetting Works
A hydro-jetting hose is fed into the drain, ending in a nozzle with forward and rear-facing jets. The forward jets cut through the blockage while the rear jets propel the hose and wash the loosened debris back to the access point. The result is a pipe scoured clean all the way around, rather than a small hole through a clog.
Water pressure and nozzle type are matched to your pipe material and size, which is why a professional should always perform the work. Before jetting, we often run a sewer camera inspection to confirm the pipe condition.
What Hydro-Jetting Removes
- Grease and cooking oil
- Soap scum and detergent residue
- Hair and fibrous buildup
- Mineral scale and rust
- Sludge and sediment
- Tree roots (with a root-cutting nozzle)
- Sand and grit in main lines
Hydro-Jetting vs. Snaking
Both tools have their place. A cable auger is fast and effective for a simple, isolated clog. Hydro-jetting is the better choice when:
- The drain clogs repeatedly
- Grease or scale has built up on the pipe walls
- The blockage is in a main line or sewer lateral
- Roots need to be cut out of the line
- You want to restore full flow, not just get by
For everyday clogs in a single fixture, our drain cleaning service covers it. Hydro-jetting is the deeper clean.
Our Hydro-Jetting Process
- Inspect - a camera confirms the pipe is safe to jet and shows the type of blockage.
- Contain - we protect the work area and control wastewater.
- Jet the line - a matched nozzle scours grease, scale and roots from the pipe walls.
- Flush and verify - we flush the line and re-inspect with the camera to confirm a clean pipe.
- Advise - we recommend preventive steps or a maintenance schedule when appropriate.
Commercial Hydro-Jetting
Restaurants, grocery stores, hotels and apartment buildings depend on hydro-jetting to keep grease-heavy lines flowing and compliant. Preventive jetting on a schedule prevents costly backups and emergency shutdowns. See our commercial drain cleaning program for details.
When Hydro-Jetting Isn't the Answer
Hydro-jetting is powerful, but a badly damaged or collapsed pipe cannot handle it. If the camera shows a crushed, offset or heavily deteriorated line, the correct fix is a repair - such as trenchless sewer repair or a sewer line repair. We will always show you what we see and explain the honest best option.
