The Power of Hydro Jetting: A Deep Clean for Your Plumbing System

Clogged pipes are one of the most common and frustrating plumbing issues. While plungers and drain snakes can handle minor obstructions, some clogs are too stubborn to budge. When grease, scale, or debris builds up deep within your plumbing system, traditional cleaning methods often fall short. That’s where hydro jetting comes in—a powerful, professional-grade solution offered by Hank & Sons Plumbing that restores full water flow and keeps your plumbing running like new.

What Is Hydro Jetting?

Hydro jetting is an advanced drain-cleaning technique that uses highly pressurized water—up to 4,000 PSI—to scour the inside of your pipes. A specialized hose equipped with a multi-directional nozzle blasts water through the line, cutting through years of accumulated buildup. This process not only removes blockages but also cleans pipe walls, preventing future clogs.

Unlike chemical cleaners that can corrode pipes, hydro jetting relies solely on water, making it both eco-friendly and safe for most plumbing systems when performed by professionals.

When Should You Schedule Hydro Jetting?

Hydro jetting isn’t something you need every week—but it’s an excellent preventative and restorative service when your plumbing shows signs of trouble. You may benefit from hydro jetting if you notice:

• Slow or frequently clogged drains
• Gurgling sounds from toilets or sinks
• Unpleasant odors coming from drains
• Water backing up in multiple fixtures
• Previous clogs that keep returning despite snaking

For commercial properties such as restaurants or apartment complexes, regular hydro jetting can be a vital part of plumbing maintenance, preventing downtime and costly repairs.

Residential and Commercial Applications

At Hank & Sons Plumbing, our hydro jetting services are tailored to the specific needs of homeowners and business owners across Southern California.

For homeowners, hydro jetting can eliminate grease buildup from kitchen sinks, clear soap scum and hair from bathroom drains, and remove root intrusions from outdoor plumbing lines.

For commercial clients, especially in restaurants and food service, hydro jetting is crucial for keeping sewer lines clear of grease, oil, and food waste that can quickly lead to major blockages.

By thoroughly cleaning your plumbing system, hydro jetting helps protect your investment and extend the lifespan of your pipes.

Why Hydro Jetting Beats Other Methods

While a plumbing snake can pierce through a blockage, it doesn’t remove the buildup lining the pipe walls. That leftover residue often leads to new clogs forming within weeks. Hydro jetting, on the other hand, completely flushes debris away—leaving the interior of your pipes smooth and clear.

In short, snaking is a temporary fix; hydro jetting is a long-term solution. It’s also far more efficient for large or complex plumbing systems that experience chronic clogs.

Safety and Professional Precision

Hydro jetting requires precision and experience. The pressure must be adjusted to match the pipe’s material and condition—too much force could cause damage, while too little won’t be effective. That’s why it’s essential to hire licensed professionals like Hank & Sons Plumbing. Our technicians inspect your lines beforehand using video camera equipment to ensure they’re in good condition and to identify the exact cause of the blockage.
