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.

We just had our heating system replaced. We went from forced hot water system to a central heating and air conditioning system done by GEM plumbing and heating company We had Omar and Michael work in our home for 5 days they installed all the ductwork, the furnace and the condenser.

Prompt, pleasant, and professional. Handled my problem easily.
I am not sure there are enough adjectives to describe our experience with Gem. From start, July 23rd to finish, an hour ago, it was just exceptional. Everyone we dealt with, first gentleman giving us a free walk through, ideas, information, second gentleman coming over for 2 1/2 hours getting the ball rolling, explaining every single thing in detail, possible rebates, kick backs and refunds. My contact back at the office, Vince, was literally in contact via text or email every couple of days. I will recommend Gem to anyone and everyone who will listen.

I called and was able to set up an appointment later the same day to replace a failed sump pump. Aaron was able to handle my issue that afternoon. He showed up on time, assessed the situation and had a fix ready. He had an apprentice with him; I want to say his name was Drew but I am not 100% sure of that. They were both very professional and personable. I can’t thank them enough for the job being done on such short notice. I highly recommend and would definitely use GEM again in the future.

Our well pump failed. GEM was out quickly on a weekend to inspect. We got an appointment for the new pump and water tank immediately on Monday. Brandon and Max were the installers. They were both amazing working under downpours throughout the day. They didn't even stop for lunch wanting to get us water as soon as possible. Thank you for the amazing 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.
