What Is Hydro Jetting?

Hydro jetting is a cutting-edge plumbing solution that uses the power of high-pressure water to tackle even the most stubborn clogs and buildup in your pipes.

Unlike traditional methods that might only provide temporary relief, hydro jetting can clean the interior surfaces of your plumbing system. This process is effective in restoring your pipes to proper working condition and maintaining the integrity and longevity of your plumbing.

Hydro jetting helps prevent future clogs because it fully removes debris and buildup instead of simply pushing it further down the pipe.

Hydro jetting is safe for your plumbing system and better for the environment because it relies on the power of water rather than harsh chemicals.

It’s safe for all types of plumbing systems and is environmentally friendly because it uses water instead of harsh chemicals.

Hydro jetting is cost-effective over time because it reduces the need for frequent maintenance visits and preventable repairs.

Hydro jetting is versatile and capable of handling a wide range of blockages, including heavy grease buildup and stubborn tree roots.

Hydro jetting helps extend the life of your plumbing system by removing the buildup that can cause corrosion, strain, and long-term wear.

How Do I Know If I Need Hydro Jetting Services?

Knowing when to call for hydro jetting service can save you time and money.

Persistent clogs, slow drains, and recurring sewer backups indicate that your system might benefit from hydro jetting. Our team can accurately diagnose the issue and recommend the best course of action to get your drains flowing freely again. Come to us when you have:

If you’re constantly dealing with clogged sinks, tubs, or toilets, the issue likely isn’t a single blockage. Ongoing clogs often mean grease, sludge, or debris has built up along the pipe walls, restricting flow. 

When more than one drain is moving slowly, it may point to a buildup deeper in your system. Hydro jetting can clear the main line and restore full drainage performance.

If you’ve had your drains snaked multiple times and the problem keeps coming back, it’s time for a more thorough solution. Hydro jetting cleans the pipe walls to prevent repeated clogs.

Persistent smells often come from decaying food, grease, or waste stuck inside your pipes. A deep cleaning with hydro jetting removes the source of those odors.

Strange noises or water backing up into sinks, tubs, or floor drains can signal a serious blockage forming in your line. Addressing it early with hydro jetting can help prevent a messy emergency.

The folks at Carmine's always do a great job👍 Tim is a great plumber, explains things, and provides options.
Very professional service. They came the same day and solved the problem quickly and completely. I would definitely use Gem again if I needed plumbing work.
I called GEM because I wanted my ductless AC’s checked to see if they needed any service. Christopher Cennamo came and examined both units and said they were functioning properly but needed a cleaning to remove mold and dirt. The large unit is at the top of a stairwell so access requires a tall ladder. Christopher made the appointment to return to do the cleaning and also to determine why the larger unit was tilting off the wall. He returned today and determined that the larger unit’s mounting bracket was only attached to drywall and not a wooden stud. He and Brody Lott secured the mounting bracket to a stud, ensuring the unit is now securely on the wall. A thorough cleaning of both units was completed including removal of a mouse nest. Christopher told me how to use steel wool in the outside pipe cover to prevent mice from entering which I promptly did. Christopher Cennamo was very professional, thorough, knowledgeable and explained everything. The cleaning was expensive but worth it. Plus he didn’t charge extra to repair the faulty mounting issue because GEM had done the initial install and not done it properly. I highly recommend Christopher Cennamo for any of your heating and cooling jobs.

First time using Carmine’s or any home service and they were great. We first got a free estimate and were able to ask questions and get reliable answers on the water heater . Would totally use in the future.
Joseph from GEM did an excellent job with our semi annual HVAC maintenance. He explained exactly what he did and was thorough & efficient. Additionally he was friendly & professional. We are very satisfied with GEM overall.
So far, GEM Plumbing & Heating has been very helpful to us. We've had the maintenance membership for a little more than a year, and they come twice a year to service our heat pump, minisplits and tankless water heater. We're happy with their service, and their technicians are usually very friendly, respectful and patience with us, taking time to explain maintenance aspects of our equipment, as well as, giving us usage and maintenance tips.
UPDATE: it's been three years of the maintenance service and again, nothing but praises for GEM. Keep up the goo work!

Frequently Asked Questions About Hydro Jetting Repair

Is Hydro Jetting Safe for My Pipes?

When performed by trained professionals, hydro jetting is safe for most residential plumbing systems. GEM’s licensed technicians inspect your pipes first to ensure they’re in good condition and that hydro jetting is the right solution for your home.

How Do I Know if I Need Hydro Jetting Instead of Snaking?

If you’re dealing with recurring clogs, multiple slow drains, frequent backups, or persistent odors, hydro jetting may be the better long-term solution. Snaking can temporarily open a blockage, but hydro jetting fully cleans the pipe walls to help prevent the problem from coming back.

Can Hydro Jetting Remove Tree Roots?

In many cases, yes. Hydro jetting is powerful enough to break apart and clear minor to moderate tree root intrusions inside sewer lines. If roots are severe or have caused pipe damage, our team will walk you through the best next steps and repair options.

How Long Does Hydro Jetting Take?

Most hydro jetting services can be completed within a few hours, depending on the severity of the blockage and the condition of your plumbing system. Your GEM technician will provide a clear assessment and timeline before work begins, so you know exactly what to expect.

How Long Do the Results of Hydro Jetting Last?

Because hydro jetting fully clears buildup from the pipe walls, the results typically last much longer than traditional drain cleaning methods. While every home is different, many homeowners experience significantly fewer repeat clogs after service.
