Our Hydro Jetting Process

01

Camera Pre-Inspection

A drain camera inspects the pipe to locate blockages, assess buildup, and confirm the pipe is structurally sound enough for high-pressure jetting.

02

Nozzle Selection

The appropriate hydro jet nozzle is selected based on pipe diameter and blockage type — forward cutting, rear-facing, or root-cutting.

03

Jetting

High-pressure water is introduced into the line, scouring all surfaces as the nozzle is advanced through the pipe.

04

Post-Inspection

A final camera pass confirms the pipe is fully clear and identifies any remaining concerns.

Hydro Jetting FAQ for Durham Homeowners

How often should Durham homeowners get hydro jetting?
Given Durham's hot, humid summers averaging 88°f with afternoon thunderstorms, most homeowners benefit from hydro jetting at least once a year. Red clay stain removal from driveways and siding (year-round) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Durham most need hydro jetting?
Brick ranch homes throughout Durham County and Victorian and craftsman homes in Trinity Park, Watts-Hillandale are the most common home types in Durham and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
How is hydro jetting different from snaking?
A snake punches a hole through a clog. Hydro jetting scours the entire pipe diameter clean, including the walls. For grease-coated kitchen lines and root-infested sewer pipes, jetting is far more effective and longer-lasting.
Can hydro jetting damage pipes?
On pipes in good condition, properly performed hydro jetting is safe. We always inspect with a camera first to confirm pipe integrity. We don't jet severely deteriorated, cracked, or clay tile pipes.
How often should main sewer lines be jetted?
Preventive jetting every 1–2 years is recommended for older homes, homes with trees near sewer lines, or restaurants. Residential lines with no history of problems may only need it when issues arise.
Does hydro jetting remove tree roots?
Yes, it can cut and flush roots from pipes. However, the roots will regrow from the tree. Root foaming treatments after jetting slow regrowth. Severely root-invaded pipes may ultimately need lining or replacement.
