Hydro Jetting Service in Manhattan
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the inside of a drain line. It is used where snaking only opens a small hole in the blockage, such as grease buildup, scale and heavy debris, and is common for restaurants and older building lines.
Signs you need this service
- Drains that clog again shortly after being snaked
- Grease buildup in kitchen or restaurant lines
- Slow main line serving several fixtures
- Roots or scale found on a camera inspection
How the job works
- Camera-inspect the line when needed, to check it is suitable for jetting.
- Jet the line with a high-pressure nozzle to scour the pipe wall.
- Re-inspect or flow-test the line.
- Advise on a maintenance schedule where grease or buildup is the cause.
Frequently asked questions
Is hydro jetting safe for old pipes?
It is not right for every pipe. A camera inspection first shows the pipe condition, and we only jet lines that can take it.
Is jetting better than snaking?
Snaking opens a path through a clog. Jetting cleans the pipe wall, so it is the better choice for grease, scale and repeat clogs.
Do you jet commercial kitchen lines?
Yes, restaurant and commercial lines are a common use. See our commercial plumbing page.
