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.

As has consistently been the case with Gem, the service man was professional, the work was done right, and everything was clear and above board. But also, as always, it was not cheap. Still, it was an emergency and Gem was the only outfit to actually answer their phone (as opposed to leaving a message or filling out an online form that might be responded to the next day) and schedule an appointment quickly and appropriate to fixing the emergency.

5/5 Stars — Outstanding Service from GEM! I recently had GEM install a new radiator, and I couldn't be happier with the entire experience. From the moment they arrived, the technician , Roselio, was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely respectful of my home. The installation was done efficiently and with incredible attention to detail. They took the time to answer all my questions, made sure everything was running perfectly before they left, and left the work area spotless. It’s rare to find a company that combines such high-level craftsmanship with genuinely friendly customer service. If you need any heating or plumbing work done, I wholeheartedly recommend calling GEM. They truly delivered top-notch results!

Today we had our AC systems installed on the roof of our condo’s. The team from GEM were amazing. They were very professional, communicated every step of what they were doing which gave me great peace. The team, Omar who was the lead, John, Louis, Michael, Mike the electrician were phenomenal. Nick with the crane crew was very nice. I hope I didn’t miss anyone. It was so assuring watching them work so well together. Their respect for each other was present and refreshing. This job was done simultaneously between my neighbors condo and my condo which was huge. The team truly worked AMAZINGLY well together. Their checklist & cleanup was A PLUS PLUS. I would highly recommend GEM and their teams. Anthony Goris was very professional and expertly explained what was happening with my very old AC unit. He was very patient and kind with his time relieving my anxiety of a huge purchase. Edgar Pollino was also very professional and expertly explained my options. He was very knowledgeable explaining everything and very patient & kind answering all my questions. I would highly recommend GEM.

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.
