Tired of Recurring Clogs? Hydro Jetting Can Help

Clogged pipes aren’t just a nuisance—they’re a warning sign. If your kitchen sink drains slowly, your toilet is bubbling, or unpleasant smells are coming up through the drains, you might have a blockage forming deep in the line.

Most people use a plunger or a drain snake. These tools can help, but they usually only punch a hole in the clog, not remove it. If the clog is large enough, it’s just a matter of time before the problem returns.

Hydro jetting is different. It uses a pressurized stream of water to deep clean the inside of your pipes, cutting through the gunk in its path and flushing it away. It’s one of the best ways to stop a recurring blockage.

What Is Hydro Jetting and How Does It Work?

Hydro jetting blasts your pipes clean using high-pressure water. At Ritz Plumbing, we start with a camera inspection to locate the blockage and check the condition of your pipes. After confirming your pipes are in good shape, we insert a specialized hydro jetting plumbing nozzle through an access point. This nozzle blasts water at up to 4,000 PSI, strong enough to clear:

• Grease and fat buildup
• Sludge and gunk from food waste
• Tree roots that have grown into the pipe
• Hardened scale and mineral deposits

When done by our plumbing professionals, it’s a safe and eco-friendly process that can restore your pipes to their original diameter.

When to Use Hydro Jetting

While not every clog needs hydro jet drain cleaning, you might need it if nothing else has worked. If you notice any of the following, your pipes might need a hydro jetting service:

• Kitchen or bathroom drains are always slow. Persistent clogs often mean a buildup deep inside the pipes.
• You hear gurgling sounds from toilets or showers. This can signal trapped air caused by blockages.
• You’ve had backups in more than one drain. Multiple clogs usually point to a main line issue.
• You recently completed construction or remodeling. Debris from building projects can settle in your pipes, restricting flow and leading to early clogs.

Our technicians check your system first to ensure hydro jetting is the right choice. If your pipes are older or damaged, we’ll let you know and suggest the safest plumbing option.

Residential Hydro Jetting: A Smart Choice for Homeowners

For homeowners, residential hydro jetting is one of the best solutions for keeping their plumbing clean and running correctly. It is effective at removing kitchen grease, soap scum from the bathroom, and other debris before they turn into clogs and costly pipe damage.

Ritz Plumbing offers professional-grade water jetting services designed for residential use. Before we start, we’ll inspect your lines to confirm they’re in good condition. We then use the proper pressure to clear the clog without harming your pipes.

Commercial Hydro Jetting for Busy Properties

As a business owner, even a small plumbing problem can disrupt or even shut your operations down. Don’t wait until they inconvenience your staff or your customers — commercial hydro jetting services are an excellent solution for:

• Removing large amounts of grease and food particle buildup from a restaurant or commercial kitchen’s pipes.
• Cleaning the shared plumbing lines and piping inside an apartment building, hotel, or condominium.
• Keeping a clinic or medical building’s plumbing clean and hygienic.
• Giving a retail store or an office building’s pipes the preventive maintenance it needs.

Ritz Plumbing also offers regular maintenance plans to keep drains clean all year long, helping you avoid major repairs and surprise costs.

Deep Clean Your Sewer Line With Hydro Jetting

The main sewer line is the pipe that collects all the wastewater from your home or commercial building’s drains. It’s also one of the most common places for clogs to develop; hardened waste, fatbergs, tree roots, and other materials can form dense clogs, reducing or blocking water flow.

At Ritz Plumbing, we recommend hydro jetting the sewer line to prevent these problems and reduce the risk of a sewage backup. We may use hydro jetting, cleaning techniques, and other services, such as drain repair and pipe inspections, to give your pipes a complete check-up.

How To Prevent Sewer Backups After Jetting

Once your lines are clear, keeping them that way is the next step. Here are a few tips from the Ritz Plumbing team:

• Watch what you flush. Avoid flushing wipes, sanitary products, or anything besides toilet paper.
• Manage grease. Never pour cooking grease down the drain. Instead, let it cool and toss it in the trash.
• Schedule inspections. We recommend a camera inspection every year, especially in older homes.
• Regular service. If you’ve had problems before, consider scheduling a semi-annual hydro jetting cleaning.

FAQs

How much does hydro jetting cost?

Hydro jetting costs vary depending on the severity of the clog, the location of the blockage, and the accessibility of your pipes. Residential jobs typically range from $350 to $600, while commercial projects may cost more.

Is hydro jetting safe for all pipes?

While hydro jetting is safe for most modern plumbing systems, it may be inappropriate for already damaged or extremely old pipes.

How long does a hydro jetting service take?

Most residential hydro jetting services can be completed in 1-2 hours. Commercial jobs or more complex blockages may take longer.

How often should I schedule hydro-jetting services?

For most homes and residential properties, we recommend scheduling a hydro jetting service for maintenance at least once every one to two years. Commercial and multi-family residences may need more frequent servicing; we recommend it at least once every six months.

Is hydro jetting better than snaking?

Hydro jetting provides a more thorough cleaning than snaking. While snaking can break through a clog to restore flow, hydro jetting removes the buildup from pipe walls, providing a longer-lasting solution and a more complete cleaning.
