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.

Good service tech very knowledgeable.
The electrician, Jeff, was outstanding. Very helpful and solved the problem quickly.
We did a maintenance request for our central air system. John was very pleasant and gave us the results based on his analysis of the system. He arrived within the time frame and completed the process in about 45 minutes.
Quickly assessed the problem and came up with two solutions to let me choose. Went about their work and cleaned up after.
Fantastic service , polite hardworking knowledgeable

Victor is a terrific worker and in the short time with him I believe he is a better person. You are lucky to have him. Great job and I wish him the best in his future.
Called at 12am for an emergency electrical repair. The crew arrived within 2 hours. Needed a replacement breaker panel and was replaced by 1pm the same day.
Nick was great. Professional, very polite, asked me several questions times if I had questions. He came on a Saturday night when the only other plumber who would was the famous national chain. That plumber didn’t know what he was doing and left without accomplishing anything. nick knew exactly what was wrong and finished the job quickly without needing to test out a wall, like the other guy said would need to happen.

The bill was incredibly expensive, above and beyond the service fee for coming. I was shocked, but it’s what I get for requesting a Saturday night service. The only other thing I would say is that with the trips in and out and the guck he was dealing with, I wish he had disposable booties to put on his feet. He tracked nasty guck on his shoes everywhere, including the carpeted stairs.
There was a drain backup issue in my building. Devin from GEM Was called in about the water in my unit. The team arrived on time were professional got right to work. The larger issue, however, was with pipes that building management has to deal with. The whole team was good. The folks at the office I spoke to setting up the appointment. Everybody showed up on time. I would recommend them to others. And I’ll use them again if I am in need.
Our AC went out and we had a couple companies come out to give us a quote. GEM's was the most competitive and we had a new system within 72 hours. The work crew came out on time and was very courteous, gave excellent service.

We had 2 very old direct vent gas wall heaters replaced. Evan and Steve are the best. They explained everything and did a awesome job for never putting in these Rianni heaters . Kept me informed and answered all my questions and eased my concerns . Couldn't of asked for two better guys. The electrician and his assistant were outstanding with the fact the house was
built in 1925 with older wiring . Chen and his assistant installed 2 dedicated circuit for both heaters to run on and it works out great as now my air conditioner will run on the dedicated circuit this summer. Would recommend all of them for future heating needs .
We had the bathroom one downsized to a smaller unit with no issue what so ever even with them having to remove the bigger one they had put in they were happy to accommodate the issue

Great service
GEM plumbing recently installed a ductless minisplit system in my home. The installers did an excellent job. They were extremely knowledgeable, courteous, and patient. They communicated with me every step of the way and took the time to answer all of my questions. The system is working beautifully. If you are looking for a contractor to install a ductless minisplit system, I highly recommend GEM plumbing.
I do wish it hadn’t been so expensive, but I will say I really did feel like my technician understood what he was doing. He was knowledgeable and professional. He explained things well and I’d be happy to work with him again.

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.
