When plungers and drain snakes can’t solve the problem, it’s time for a stronger solution. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to cut through grease, sludge, roots, and mineral buildup inside your pipes—restoring full flow without digging up your yard or exposing your family to harsh chemicals.

Hydro jetting is like giving your pipes a deep clean. Instead of using chemicals or basic tools, it relies on the natural force of water—pressurized to thousands of pounds per square inch—to cut through buildup. A specialized hose with a multi-directional nozzle is fed into your drain or sewer line, blasting away grease, soap scum, tree roots, and even hardened mineral deposits.
Unlike traditional snaking, which just punches a hole through a clog, hydro jetting actually scrubs the interior walls of your pipes. That means not only does the blockage go away, but the sticky residue that causes clogs to reform is washed out too. With cleaner pipes, future blockages are far less likely to return.
Because of the equipment and training required, hydro jetting is not a DIY fix. Tin Man’s licensed plumbers use professional-grade machines designed to restore pipes without harming them, ensuring a safe and thorough job every time.
Not every clog requires hydro jetting, but there are clear signs when it’s the right solution. You may benefit from this service if:
Clogs Keep Coming Back
If your sink or shower clears up temporarily but slows down again in a few days or weeks, it’s likely buildup deeper in your system. Hydro jetting clears the whole line, not just the surface blockage.
Multiple Drains Are Slow
If more than one drain is sluggish, the problem may be in your main sewer line. Hydro jetting can reach these deeper blockages and flush them out completely.
Roots or Hard Deposits Are Involved
Tree roots are strong enough to break through pipe joints, and hard water can leave thick mineral scale that basic tools can’t touch. High-pressure water is powerful enough to cut through both without excavation.
Traditional Methods Fail
When plunging, cabling, or store-bought cleaners don’t solve the issue, hydro jetting is the next step before major pipe repairs.
Recognizing these warning signs early can save you from major plumbing emergencies.
Homeowners often ask why hydro jetting is worth it compared to a drain snake or chemical cleaner. The answer is in how thorough it is.
Snakes and Rooters only poke a temporary hole through the clog, often leaving behind buildup that causes the problem to return.
Chemical Drain Cleaners may eat away at hair or grease, but they can’t dissolve roots or scale. Worse, they corrode your pipes and release toxic fumes.
Hydro Jetting, on the other hand, cleans the entire diameter of the pipe. It removes the residue that other methods leave behind and does it without harmful chemicals.
The result is not just a cleared clog, but cleaner, healthier plumbing that’s less likely to give you problems again.
When you choose Tin Man Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical, you’re choosing more than just a powerful piece of equipment—you’re choosing trained professionals who know how to use it right. Here’s what sets our hydro jetting service apart:
Fast Relief: Because the nozzle sprays water in multiple directions, it can clean long stretches of pipe in just minutes. That means less downtime and quicker relief from messy backups.
Powerful Results: Grease, soap scum, tree roots, and even years of mineral buildup are no match for the water pressure our machines deliver. What traditional methods can’t budge, hydro jetting can.
Cost Savings: Severe clogs often lead to digging or full pipe replacement, which can run thousands of dollars. Hydro jetting clears obstructions from the inside, often avoiding the need for excavation.
Eco-Friendly Approach: No harsh chemicals are involved—just the natural power of water. That makes hydro jetting safer for your pipes, your family, and the environment.
Long-Lasting Results: Because it scrubs pipe walls clean, hydro jetting prevents new clogs from forming as quickly. Many homeowners notice smoother drainage and fewer plumbing issues long after the service.

Our licensed plumbers are ready to clear your drains and keep your home’s plumbing running smoothly.
Is hydro jetting safe for my pipes?
Yes—when performed by a licensed plumber. The water pressure is powerful enough to clear tough clogs, but our technicians adjust it to match the type and age of your pipes. Done correctly, hydro jetting cleans without damaging plumbing materials.
How is hydro jetting different from snaking or cabling?
Snaking simply punches a hole through a clog, often leaving residue behind. Hydro jetting washes the entire interior of the pipe clean, removing grease, roots, and scale. That’s why it’s more effective for long-term results.
Will hydro jetting get rid of tree roots?
Yes, it can cut through smaller root intrusions and flush them away. For major root growth, we may recommend pairing hydro jetting with other root control solutions to prevent regrowth.
Is hydro jetting safe for homes with older plumbing?
In most cases, yes. Before we begin, we inspect your plumbing to ensure the pipes can handle the pressure. If your pipes are severely corroded or weakened, we’ll recommend alternative solutions.
How often should hydro jetting be done?
For most homes, hydro jetting is a “when needed” service for major clogs. However, some businesses or households with heavy grease or mineral buildup benefit from scheduling it every couple of years as preventive maintenance.
How much does hydro jetting cost?
The price depends on factors like the length of pipe, the type of blockage, and the accessibility of your system. Tin Man provides upfront pricing before work begins, so you’ll know the cost in advance.
