What Is Hydro Jetting?

Hydro jetting is an effective and eco-friendly method of cleaning pipes. M & Y Septic Tank explains how hydro jetting works and why it’s a top choice for clearing stubborn clogs.
How Hydro Jetting Works
Hydro jetting is a powerful drain cleaning method that uses high-pressure water to clear blockages and debris from pipes. At M & Y Septic Tank, we use specialized equipment to send a stream of water through the plumbing system at incredibly high pressure—up to 4,000 psi. This pressurized water is strong enough to break up tough clogs caused by grease, tree roots, mineral buildup, and other debris that may be obstructing the flow of water.
The high-velocity water scours the interior of the pipes, removing all types of buildup and ensuring your plumbing is thoroughly cleaned. Hydro jetting not only clears existing blockages but also helps prevent future clogs by thoroughly cleaning the entire length of your pipes. This method is ideal for both residential and commercial properties looking for a long-lasting solution to drain problems.
The Benefits of Hydro Jetting
Hydro jetting offers several advantages over traditional drain cleaning methods. One of the main benefits is its ability to tackle even the most stubborn blockages. Unlike mechanical snakes that can only break through clogs, hydro jetting clears the entire pipe, leaving it spotless. This thorough cleaning reduces the likelihood of future clogs, helping to extend the life of your plumbing system. Hydro jetting is also environmentally friendly, as it uses only water to clear blockages—no chemicals required.
Additionally, it is a safe, non-invasive method that doesn’t damage your pipes, making it an ideal solution for older plumbing systems. At M & Y Septic Tank, we recommend hydro jetting for properties that experience frequent clogs or slow drainage issues. Our expert team can evaluate your system and determine if hydro jetting is the best solution to restore your plumbing to full functionality.
