What Is Hydro Jetting in Brooklyn?

Hydro jetting is a powerful drain-cleaning method that uses high-pressure water—up to 4,000 PSI—to break apart blockages and wash away years of buildup. It works like a precision pressure washer for your plumbing system.

Our technicians insert a specialized hose into the pipe through a cleanout or drain opening. Then, the jetter blasts water through the line, clearing:

  • Grease and cooking oil buildup (a major issue in NYC kitchens)
  • Hard mineral deposits from aging water systems
  • Tree roots from sidewalk and street trees
  • Sludge and waste trapped deep in main lines
  • Soap scum, hair, food waste, and other debris

It doesn’t just punch a hole through the clog, hydro jetting in Brooklyn completely cleans the pipe walls for smoother flow and better long-term performance.

How Hydro Jetting Works in Brooklyn Homes & Buildings

Before jetting, we perform a video camera inspection to:

  • Locate the blockage
  • Assess pipe condition
  • Ensure the pipe can safely withstand high-pressure cleaning

Then we strategically access the line, whether in a basement, backyard, or side alley common to Brooklyn row homes. The high-pressure stream clears the obstruction and restores full pipe diameter—no harsh chemicals, no excavation, and no damage to your landscaping or building structure.

Brooklyn Hydro Jetting vs. Snaking: Which Is Best?

Both snaking and hydro jetting play an important role in drain cleaning — but they work very differently.

Snaking (or augering) uses a cable to punch a hole through a clog so wastewater can pass through again. It’s a quick fix for simple, localized blockages such as:

  • Hair clogs in bathroom drains
  • Small food obstructions in kitchen sinks
  • Minor buildup near fixtures

However, snaking doesn’t remove buildup from the pipe walls. That means the clog — or another one — often comes back.

Hydro jetting goes much further. By using high-pressure water to blast away grease, scale, sludge, and roots, jetting:

  • Cleans the full diameter of the pipe
  • Prevents recurring clogs
  • Restores long-term flow and performance
  • Helps extend the life of aging drain and sewer lines

If you’re dealing with constant backups, foul odors, or multiple slow drains throughout your Brooklyn home, hydro jetting is typically the best long-lasting solution.
