The Why Behind Hydrojetting Costs

Slow draining, low water pressure, and constantly overflowing toilets aren’t going to start occurring like you flipped a switch. Instead, these problems will build in intensity over weeks and months, all being related back to your plumbing and needing a simple drain cleaning.

It may be tempting to call a friend of a friend who may or may not be a certified plumber, or run to the store for chemical drain cleaner--but don’t! No matter how you look at it, chances are, your drains need a professional cleaning by a technician that is fully trained on how to do so!

Understanding Your Hydrojetting Services

“whathydrojetting”Hydro jetting is easy to explain and understand. When the term ‘hydro jetting’ is broken down, the first word is ‘hydro,’ meaning water. The second term is ‘jetting,’ which implies forcing a liquid (in this case water) through a small aperture or opening at a high pressure.

The use of water at high pressures is responsible for breaking down and removing any clogs, debris, buildup, contaminants, and even tree roots. We would be remiss if we did not explain why this service is recommended over drain snaking and chemical cleaners.

To begin, using a drain snake is an effective way of removing a clog. However, that clog has to be within reach of the tool, and the tool does not remove buildup or contaminants found on the pipe walls. It is a quick and effective fix for a rare occurrence. The other option many people turn to are chemical drain cleaners. As plumbers, we cannot stress enough how dangerous these products are. They can cause damage to your pipes, the environment, and can cause burns if it comes into contact with skin or eyes.

Hydrojetting uses only water but because of the high pressure, it will remove substances that are stuck to the walls of your pipes. It is safe for both the environment and your family, and it actually will get rid of bacteria like E. Coli and Legionella--something that neither of the other two can claim.

Surprisingly Low-Cost

“costshydrojetting”When you call a plumber, you almost expect to be informed of an extremely expensive service that you absolutely must have. While hydro jetting is definitely the recommended service, it is not overly costly.

Generally speaking, the cost of this service is determined by the severity of the clog and the type of drain that needs treatment. You might hear numbers ranging from $150-500, but these are each based on the job at hand--every case is different!
