A Powerful Solution for Clearing Clogged Drains
Hydrojetting drain cleaning is a powerful and effective method for outdoor drain cleaning that uses high-pressure water to clear stubborn clogs and clean pipes thoroughly. This technique is especially useful for sewer lines and outdoor plumbing, offering a level of cleaning that traditional methods like snaking or chemical cleaners often fail to achieve. By using hydrojet, homeowners can ensure their outdoor drains are free from blockages caused by grease, roots, and debris, providing a comprehensive solution that keeps plumbing systems functioning optimally.
How Does Hydrojetting Work?
Hydrojetting involves the use of a specialized hose equipped with a high-pressure nozzle that blasts water at up to 2,000 PSI into your pipes. This powerful stream of water breaks down clogs, removes tree roots, and washes away grease, scale, and other debris that has built up over time. The process is highly effective for clearing both residential drains and sewer lines.
Key Benefits of Hydrojet:
- Thorough Cleaning: Unlike traditional methods, hydrojetting cleans the entire pipe, not just the area of the clog.
- Environmentally Friendly: Uses only water, making it a chemical-free solution that’s safe for the environment.
- Prevents Future Issues: By clearing buildup and debris, hydrojetting reduces the likelihood of recurring clogs and costly repairs.
When Should You Consider Hydrojetting?
Hydrojetting is ideal for situations where traditional methods fall short, such as:
- Persistent Clogs: If you’ve been experiencing frequent clogs or slow drains, hydrojetting can provide a long-lasting solution.
- Tree Root Intrusion: For pipes affected by tree roots, hydrojetting effectively removes roots and clears the path without damaging the pipes. Learn more about how tree roots can cause plumbing problems on our blog.
- Grease and Scale Buildup: In commercial kitchens or older homes, grease, scale, and other debris can significantly reduce pipe diameter. Hydrojetting restores the full capacity of your pipes.
Hydrojetting vs. Traditional Drain Cleaning Methods
While methods like snaking or chemical cleaners can offer temporary relief, they often fail to address the root cause of the problem. Snaking only punctures the clog, leaving buildup on the pipe walls that can cause future blockages. Chemical cleaners can be harsh on your pipes and the environment. Hydrojetting, on the other hand, offers a thorough, eco-friendly solution that cleans the entire pipe.

Is Hydrojetting Safe for All Pipes?
Hydrojetting is safe for most plumbing systems, including PVC, copper, and cast iron pipes. However, it’s important to have your plumbing inspected by a professional before proceeding, as older, fragile pipes may not withstand the high pressure. At GPS Plumbing, our experienced plumbers will evaluate your system to ensure that hydrojetting is the right solution for your home.
The Hydrojetting Process at GPS Plumbing
- Inspection: We begin with a video camera inspection to identify the location and severity of the blockage. This step ensures that hydrojetting is appropriate for your pipes.
- Hydrojetting: Using specialized equipment, we insert the hydrojetting nozzle into your drain and blast away the clog and buildup with high-pressure water.
Important Note: Hydrojetting is for Outdoor Use Only
While hydrojetting is an effective method for clearing clogs and cleaning pipes, it is designed for outdoor plumbing systems such as sewer lines and exterior drains. The high-pressure water used in hydrojetting can cause water to spray everywhere if used indoors, potentially leading to water damage. Therefore, hydrojetting is not suitable for indoor drains or pipes inside your home. Always consult a professional to determine the best drain cleaning method for your specific plumbing needs.
