Put an End to Stubborn Drain Problems

When recurring clogs, slow drains, or stubborn backups keep coming back, it’s a sign the problem runs deeper than a simple blockage.

Over time, grease, debris, and buildup cling to the inside of your pipes, restricting flow and creating ongoing issues. Hydro jetting clears it all away. GEM uses professional-grade hydro jetting equipment to help eliminate buildup at the source.

What does this mean for your home? Fewer repeat clogs, smoother drainage, and peace of mind knowing your plumbing system is flowing the way it should. It’s a high-impact solution designed to put an end to the cycle so you can stop worrying about your drains and get back to normal.

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.

Excellent service, highly recommend
Alec and Scott made quick work of what turned out to be a simple solution. Very efficient, pleasant and explained the issue and recommendation clearly.
While the repair was simple, Stephen and Eric were very professional and courteous.
We were very pleased with Gem’s air conditioner maintenance service. Dory and his team did an exceptional job. They explained what they were doing and shared helpful information about maintaining our HVAC system.
Joe, the service person who came to fix our water heater, was amazing. Calm, expert, efficient and best of all very interested in showing me (and teaching me about) what was going on. It's really important to be knowledgeable about your own home. The problem has been fixed and I also know what to look out for in the upcoming months and years. The service (and parts) weren't cheap. Phew. But I have a good sense that the good service that Joe provided will ultimately save us money in the long run as we care for our system.
great service again
Jared was great, super knowledgeable super personable, easy to work with.
Joe Kiff from GEM Plumbing & Heating came out for our annual central air system checkup. He arrived on time, clearly explained what he planned to do, walked me through everything afterward, and offered helpful suggestions for a few improvements. Overall, excellent service!
Outstanding job from response within 24 hours, to assessment within 48 hours and full job complete within 72 hours, all within a reasonable budget. Great team of Chris, Baxter and Joe. Couldn’t be more pleased with their work or them as friendly professionals.
I called upon Gem Plumbing for a washer / dryer install, in my condo. I needed water pipes moved and shut off valves installed – the whole nine yards. Gem sent Walter P to give an estimate and to do the job.
Walter in a fine young gentleman, very kind and courteous. He explained the work that needed to be done. He came in and did the job. Now I have a full laundry set up in my condo. Thank you Walter so for a Job Well Done. I will highly recommend Gem Plumbing to anyone who needs expert service. And I will certainly call upon them for any services I need in the future. Thank you.
Great work by all of the GEM workers at our house! Had a somewhat difficult situation to resolve and they got it done!
Timothy was great. Friendly, knowledgeable and professional
Bob was a very nice man. Fixed our ac and did the yearly maintenance. It was a pleasure meeting him.
Mason did an excellent job replacing my hot water heater. He was knowledgeable, professional, and personable. I was extremely happy with his service.
Very happy with the technician that came to our house- very thorough and informative.
Friendly, courteous and professional service. Happy to have them as my service provider.
Work was completed professionally and completely. Nick offered ideas and alternative approaches and recommendations. They responded quickly.
Mr. Liu and his GEM in training arrived on time and with phone calls that let us know their efforts were booked after our appointment. But…they took all the time they needed to assess what could have been a messy reinstall of a bath light/exhaust fan in a 1955 house. Although adequately warned that something other than pretty could happen, they made surgical cuts to enlarge the ceiling hole with minimal degradation of the ceiling. Despite the number of sawzall blades they’d used, we
were all smiling when we turned the fan on for the first time. Another successful visit by the GEMs.
(As always, my only hesitation in using GEM for future projects is the pricing process.)
The guys were professional and provided education on what was needed to fix our issue. Thanks to both of them!
This is third time we've used this service and they responded to an emergency a little outside their expertise when no one else would. They are quick, professional and knowledgable. Very responsive and worth the money!
Great communication and prompt service. Tyler was polite, knowledgeable and professional.
Efficient, friendly guys replaced my whole HVAC system in less than a day.
From the very beginning everyone we dealt with at GEM were professional, knowledgeable and helpful. The installation process was as promised and was efficiently completed. An outstanding job by all. Thank you.
Paul, the service man, went out of his way to explain everything he was doing. He also gave me some advice on how I can lower my electric bill.

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.
