What is Hydro Jetting?
Hydro jetting is a non-invasive and effective plumbing solution to clear out grease and debris buildups on pipe walls. This drain cleaning solution involves using highly pressurized (up to 4000 psi) water flow to scour the interior surface of plumbing pipes. Hydro jet plumbing can remove grease, sludge, tree roots and any such obstructions from sewer pipes. A hose, a highly durable nozzle and a high-tech hydro jetting machine is used in the process to throw the water inside pipes in high pressure. No chemicals is used during the process but only water which makes it environment friendly.
Although, there are few alternative methods to clean drains and sewer pipes such as rodding or snaking where plumber uses a tool to power a hole through the accumulation. But hydro jet plumbing is more prevalent among expert plumbers nowadays for its effectiveness and higher rate of acuracy. Hydro jetting can also resolve overflows in a clogged grease trap or interceptor.

Knowledgebase - Hydro Jet Plumbing
How does hydro jetting work?
Hydro jetting is neither a DIY project nor should be done by an ametuer plumber. Hydro jet plumbing is not a simple task. The whole cleaning process involves use of highly pressurized water flow which will force and break through grease buildups, mineral scale or any other obstructions and eventually flow down the sewerage system. If anything goes wrong with such measurement in determining pressure of water flow, the situation can get worse. An expert hydro jet plumber will never proceed with drain cleaning without a thorough inspection of your system. If there’s any damage already occurred in your pipes, hydro jetting will only cause more damage to your plumbing system resulting in expensive repair.
It’s recommended that you leave this task to the professionals such as the Grease Company, who have the right technology, and experience to complete the job in a proper fashion.
There are two main steps of hydro jet plumbing, inspection and utilizing high pressure water to clean pipes.
It is forbidden for commercial kitchens to reuse cooking oils and doing so is considered as a health code violation.
Step : 1
As mentioned earlier, before the main process of hydro jetting begins, the hydro jet plumber will perform a video inspection of your plumbing system. In the inspection, he will locate heavy blockages and buildups, and if there’s any damage inside the pipe to understand whether the system can withstand high pressure water flow. If your plumbing pipes are old or got cracks inside it, it’s best not to proceed with hydro jet plumbing to avoid further damage. In that case, experts from TGC will recommend another appropriate method for your plumbing system such as SNAKING.
Step : 2
After the inspection, the plumber will find an ideal spot to stick the hose inside. A highly durable nozzle is used in the process for the best result. The plumber drops hoses into your pipes or drains and the hydro jetting machine starts to shoot water inside your plumbing pipes. The machine can shoot up to 20 gallons of water per minute (5000 psi). This is where it gets tricky for the plumber as the pressure has to be set accordingly otherwise water flow can damage the pipes. As the hose moves through the plumbing system with water flows, debris, grease buildups and even tree roots will break and travel down the sewer system.
What are the differences between hydro jetting and snaking?
Snaking is the method of using a auger to power through grease buildups, and puncture clogs. Plumbing snakes consists of a long tube made of metal and a cable attached to the tube with a steel blade or corkscrew. Some of the plumbing snakes are manual and some of them are battery operated.
Snaking was a great method for drain cleaning before hydro jetting was introduced. Unlike hydro jetting, Snaking can’t clear the pipes completely. It only creates a hole in the blockage. On the other hand, hydro jet plumbing doesn’t use a blade or chemicals but highly pressurized water flow to get rid of clogs. With hydro jet drain cleaning, you can literally break any obstruction, doesn’t matter- how stubborn they are. It is much more effective and promises better and long-term cleaning than Snaking.
However, there are some cases such as a weakened or old pipe, plumbing pipes that are already damaged, SNAKING is chosen instead of hydro jetting as this method is less intense and doesn’t create much pressure on pipe walls like hydro jet plumbing.

Risks of Hydro Jetting
When it comes to clearing clogs and removing debris, grease build ups from the inside of a plumbing pipe, there’s no better solution than hydro jetting. But there are some drawbacks that you should know about-
Hydro jetting can damage old or weakened pipes: Hydro jet plumbing uses water flow in really high pressure to break through blockages. When the pipe is new or strong enough to withstand such pressure, it is completely OKAY. But in the cases where the pipes are old, or have gone damaged due to some reason (root infestation), hydro jet plumbing will just make the scenario worse. Old or damaged pipes can get totally broken by the highly pressurized water flow resulting in expensive pipe replacement.
Hydro jet plumbing is not a DIY (do it yourself) project: Hydro jet drain cleaning is not a DIY project like Snaking. You’ll need to consult a professional hydro jet plumber to conduct the cleaning operation.
Hydro Jetting involves the use of a hydro jet machine, highly durable hose and nozzle which is expensive. The cleaning process includes a video inspection, and measuring the pressure of water flow based on the thickness of blockages. One mistake can damage your plumbing system and these are the reasons why hydro jetting needs to be done by a professional plumber.

We make sure that your pipes are clean as new, and less prone to another quick buildup.
