What Is Hydro Jetting?
Hydro jetting uses a high pressure stream of water delivered through a specialized nozzle to scour the full interior of a pipe clean, removing grease, scale, and root intrusion far more thoroughly than a standard cable auger. The technique works on both residential drain lines and larger sewer mains beneath Albion, IN properties.
Because the water pressure reaches the entire circumference of the pipe rather than just cutting a path through the center of a clog, hydro jetting restores flow capacity closer to the pipe's original diameter.
Beyond clearing the immediate blockage, hydro jetting leaves the interior of your pipe noticeably cleaner than a standard auger alone, which tends to extend the time before another clog develops. Many Albion, IN households use periodic jetting as a preventive measure on lines that have historically been prone to grease or root related slowdowns, treating it as maintenance rather than waiting for a full backup.
Why You Need It
Standard augers punch a hole through a blockage but often leave buildup along the pipe walls, which means the same clog tends to return within months. Hydro jetting removes that residual buildup entirely, extending the time between service calls.
For lines affected by grease accumulation in kitchens or root intrusion in older sewer connections, jetting is often the only method thorough enough to restore full flow capacity.
Grease buildup tends to be more common in older Albion, IN neighborhoods with established kitchens and decades of accumulated buildup, while root intrusion shows up more in areas with mature landscaping close to original clay sewer lines. Knowing which pattern is more likely in your area helps us calibrate pressure settings appropriately before we ever begin jetting a line.
Our Process
Camera Pre-Inspection
We inspect the line first to confirm jetting is appropriate for the pipe's age and material.
Pressure Calibration
Water pressure is set specifically for your pipe's condition, gentler for older or more fragile lines.
Jetting Pass
The high pressure nozzle travels the length of the line, scouring buildup from the entire pipe wall.
Post-Jet Camera Check
A final camera pass confirms the line is fully clear and the pipe walls are in good condition.
