What Is Hydro-Jetting (Hydro Jet / Water Jet)?
A cleaning service that uses high-pressure water delivered through specialized nozzles to break up grease, cut roots, remove scale, and flush debris from drains and sewer lines.
We calibrate pressure and flow to pipe size/material, use penetrating/rotary heads for different deposits, and often pair jetting with camera inspection to target the work and verify a smooth bore.
Why Choose White Glove Plumbing
Compliance & safety first: Technicians trained in confined-space awareness, sanitation, and code-compliant drain work.
Documented outcomes: Before/after camera video, distance/depth notes, and a prioritized maintenance plan.
Beyond a quick poke: We de-scale, de-grease, and cut roots, not just poke a temporary hole.
One accountable team: If a structural defect appears, we can spot-repair or go trenchless and sanitize impacted areas.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Limit water use—pause laundry and dishwashers to prevent backups.
Avoid chemical drain cleaners—they can damage pipe and PPE.
Locate cleanouts if you know where they are; keep access clear.
Note symptoms (gurgling, slow drains, where/when it happens).
Call our 24/7 dispatcher—we’ll assess, clear safely, and verify results.

Post-Jet Camera Verification
Re-camera to confirm clean bore, joints, and flow; note any structural defects for repair options.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is jetting better than snaking?
They’re different tools. Snaking can punch through a clog; jetting cleans the pipe walls and flushes debris for longer-lasting results.
Will hydro-jetting damage my pipes?
Not when done correctly. We match pressure and nozzles to pipe material/condition and avoid brittle sections we identify on camera.
Do I need a cleanout?
Preferred, yes. We can install a cleanout or use alternative access points where safe.
Can you jet indoors?
Yes—using portable units and containment where appropriate, with camera guidance.
Will jetting remove roots permanently?
Jetting cuts and flushes roots but doesn’t fix broken joints. We’ll recommend spot repair or lining if structural defects exist.
How often should I maintain grease lines?
Usage-based—many kitchens benefit from quarterly jetting after an initial deep clean.
