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 New Orleans Homeowners

How often should New Orleans homeowners get hydro jetting?
Given New Orleans's year-round heat and humidity — avg high 91°f in summer with extreme dewpoints, most homeowners benefit from hydro jetting at least once a year. Year-round termite treatment and monitoring (Formosan threat is severe) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in New Orleans most need hydro jetting?
Shotgun houses and Creole cottages (architectural signatures of New Orleans) and Double shotguns converted to single-family are the most common home types in New Orleans 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.
