Hydro Jetting in Fort Myers, Cape Coral & Southwest Florida

When snaking is not enough, high-pressure water cleans the inside of your pipes and sewer lines, clearing grease, sludge and roots so clogs stop coming back.

A Deeper Clean Than a Drain Snake

Hydro jetting uses specialized equipment to force highly pressurized water through your plumbing. Instead of poking a hole through a clog, it scours the entire inside wall of the pipe and flushes the debris out of the line.

When stubborn buildup, grease or sludge keeps causing slow or clogged drains, traditional drain cleaning may not be enough. Hydro jetting helps restore proper flow and reduces the chance of the same clog coming back.

What the water breaks apart and washes away

  • Grease and oil buildup
  • Hair and soap scum
  • Food and organic debris
  • Sludge and sediment
  • Mineral deposits
  • Tree roots and other obstructions
  • Years of accumulated residue inside pipes

Which One Does Your Drain Need?

Quick clog removal

A drain snake creates an opening through a clog so water can flow again. It is fast and works well for a single, isolated blockage.

  • Best for: one slow sink, tub or toilet
  • What it does: punches a hole through the clog
  • Keep in mind: buildup on the pipe walls stays behind

Why hydro jetting

Benefits of Hydro Jetting

From household drain lines to larger sewer lines, hydro jetting clears years of buildup and helps your plumbing run the way it should.

1

Thorough pipe cleaning

Cleans the inside surfaces of your pipes rather than simply punching a hole through a blockage.

2

Powerful clog removal

High-pressure water breaks through tough accumulations of grease, sludge, mineral deposits and other debris.

3

Helps prevent recurring clogs

Removing buildup from the pipe walls reduces the conditions that cause repeated blockages.

4

Chemical free

Hydro jetting uses pressurized water instead of harsh chemical drain cleaners, which is gentler on your pipes and the environment.

Text Your Question
What is hydro jetting?

Hydro jetting is a professional pipe-cleaning method that forces highly pressurized water through your plumbing. The stream breaks apart and washes away grease, sludge, scale, roots and other buildup from the inside of the pipe.

What is the difference between hydro jetting and snaking?

A drain snake typically creates an opening through a clog. Hydro jetting cleans the interior walls of the pipe to restore better overall flow. Snaking suits a single clog, while hydro jetting is better for lines that keep clogging.

Can hydro jetting remove tree roots?

Yes. The high-pressure water can break apart roots and other obstructions inside the line. If roots are suspected, we often recommend a camera inspection first so we can see what we are dealing with.

Is hydro jetting safe for my pipes?

It is an excellent option for many tough or recurring drain and sewer problems, but it is not appropriate for every system. Older, damaged or severely deteriorated pipes may need additional evaluation before high-pressure cleaning, so we inspect first and recommend the safest option.

Does hydro jetting use chemicals?

No. Hydro jetting uses pressurized water rather than harsh chemical drain cleaners, which makes it gentler on your pipes and the environment.
