Our hydro jetting services in South Jersey are the premier solution for solving your most persistent drain problems for good. For many homeowners and business owners, dealing with a clogged drain is a frustrating cycle. A drain slows, then stops completely, and a temporary fix like a plunger or a mechanical snake offers brief relief before the issue returns. These methods only address the immediate blockage, not the underlying cause.
Over time, substances such as grease, oil, soap scum, hair, and mineral deposits accumulate on the inner walls of your pipes, forming a thick sludge. This accumulation narrows the pipe's diameter, slowing drainage and creating a sticky surface that easily traps new debris, leading to recurring clogs. For the many older homes and busy restaurants in our community, this buildup can cause chronic plumbing issues and even lead to pipe damage if not properly addressed. We believe it is time to stop patching the problem and start solving it permanently.
What is Hydro Jetting?
Hydro jetting is the most effective and thorough method for cleaning your pipes and sewer lines. Think of it as power-washing the inside of your plumbing system. We use a specialized, flexible hose and a high-pressure nozzle to send a powerful stream of water—up to 5,000 PSI—through your pipes. This process does more than just break through a clog; it scours the entire inner surface of the pipe, completely removing years of accumulated grime and restoring the pipe to its original, full-flow capacity.
Have A Plumbing Emergency In South Jersey?
Our process at Great Jet Plumbing is designed for safety and maximum effectiveness.
First, our technician performs a video inspection of your pipes. This is a critical step that allows us to see the exact location and cause of the blockage. Most importantly, it lets us assess the condition of your pipes to ensure they can safely handle the high pressure of the hydro jet.
Based on the inspection, we select the right nozzle for the job. Different blockages require different tools, from nozzles designed to cut through invasive tree roots to those that provide a 360-degree clean for general buildup. We also calibrate the water pressure to a level that is strong enough to clear the obstruction without harming your pipes.
Finally, the hydro jetting hose is inserted into your plumbing system, typically through an existing access point, such as a cleanout. The high-pressure jets propel the nozzle forward, cleaning the pipe walls. As we retract the hose, the water flushes out any dislodged debris from your system, leaving your pipes completely clean.
Advantages of Our South Jersey Hydro Jetting Services
Compared to other methods, hydro jetting offers clear and lasting benefits.
Complete Cleaning: A traditional plumbing snake just punches a hole through the center of a clog, leaving most of the buildup behind, so the next blockage starts almost immediately. Hydro jetting is the only method that cleans the entire pipe wall, which is why the results can last up to four times longer.
A Smart Investment: While the initial cost may be higher than snaking, hydro jetting saves you money over time by eliminating the need for repeated service calls. By proactively cleaning your pipes, you also prevent major plumbing emergencies such as sewer backups or burst pipes, which can lead to costly water damage repairs.
Safe and Environmentally Friendly: Our hydro jetting service uses only water to clean your pipes. We never introduce harsh or toxic chemicals into your home or the local water supply, making it a safe choice for your family and the environment. The entire process is done through an existing clean-out, so there is no need to dig up your yard or driveway.
When Should You Consider Hydro Jetting?
If you are experiencing any of the following issues at your South Jersey property, it is time to call us for a consultation:
- Frequent Clogs: You are constantly dealing with the same slow or blocked drains.
- Slow Drains in Multiple Areas: When sinks, showers, and toilets are all draining slowly, it often points to a blockage in the main sewer line.
- Bad Odors from Drains: Persistent foul smells are a sign of trapped waste and bacterial buildup in your pipes.
- Gurgling Sounds: Noises from your pipes often mean air is being trapped and forced around a significant blockage.
- You Own a Restaurant or Commercial Property: Businesses that handle fats, oils, and grease require regular hydro jetting as preventive maintenance to avoid shutdowns and health code violations.
Do not wait for a minor clog to become a major disaster. Contact Great Jet Plumbing today to schedule your video inspection and learn how our South Jersey hydro jetting services can provide a lasting solution for your home or business.
