What Is Hydro Jetting and When Do You Need It?

Tired of Recurring Clogs in Your Pearland Home?

You plunge, snake, and maybe even pour a chemical cleaner down the drain… but the clog keeps coming back. That’s when it’s time to go beyond the basics and bring out the big guns: hydro jetting.

At Red One Plumbing, we help homeowners in Pearland, Friendswood, and Manvel clear serious pipe blockages with this advanced service. Here’s what you need to know.

What Is Hydro Jetting?

Hydro jetting is a professional-grade method that uses high-pressure water (up to 4,000 PSI) to blast through grease, sludge, tree roots, and years of buildup inside your plumbing pipes.

It’s not just unclogging — it’s power washing the inside of your plumbing to restore flow and protect your system long-term.

When Do You Need Hydro Jetting?

You likely need hydro jetting if you’re dealing with:

  • Multiple slow drains throughout the house
  • Gurgling sounds or bubbling toilets
  • Nasty smells coming from kitchen or bathroom sinks
  • Frequent backups that keep coming back
  • Older homes with years of buildup or root intrusion

We always inspect your pipes first to make sure they can handle the pressure — especially in older Pearland homes.

How Is It Different from Snaking or Chemical Cleaners?

Method What It Does When It’s Useful
Snaking Breaks through a clog Small, local clogs
Chemicals Dissolves hair/grease (maybe) Risky, short-term
Hydro Jetting Fully cleans the pipe wall Long-term fix for serious buildup

Is Hydro Jetting Safe?

Yes — when done by a pro. It’s not a DIY job. We use sewer cameras to inspect the line first, confirm the condition of your pipes, and apply the correct PSI.

Some older or damaged pipes can be harmed by pressure if not handled properly, which is why we only use it when it's truly safe and effective.
