At Xtreme Drainworks, we specialize in professional hydro jetting services designed to completely clean and restore your drain and sewer lines. Unlike traditional drain snaking, hydro jetting uses high-pressure water — typically between 2,500 to 4,000 PSI — to scour the inside walls of pipes, removing grease, sludge, roots, scale buildup, wipes, debris, and years of accumulated buildup.
What’s the Difference Between Snaking and Hydro Jetting?
Traditional drain snaking is designed to punch a hole through a blockage to temporarily restore flow. While snaking can be effective for simple stoppages, it often leaves grease, sludge, and debris attached to the pipe walls, allowing the problem to return quickly.
Hydro jetting is a complete pipe cleaning solution. Instead of simply poking through the clog, hydro jetting thoroughly washes and flushes the entire inside diameter of the pipe, restoring proper flow and helping prevent future backups.
Benefits of Hydro Jetting
Storm drain systems should only be cleaned using hydro jetting methods. Due to the materials commonly used in storm drain piping — including older clay, thin wall plastic, corrugated pipe, and deteriorated concrete systems — using mechanical snakes or cutting blades can cause severe pipe damage, separation, or collapse.
Hydro jetting allows storm drain lines to be safely flushed and cleaned using controlled water pressure without the aggressive mechanical force associated with cable machines. This method is the safest and most effective way to remove mud, sand, roots, debris, and buildup from storm drain systems while reducing the risk of damage to aging infrastructure.
