Hydro Jetting in the Alle-Kiski Valley
Stubborn clogs, slow drains, or recurring backups? Don’t settle for temporary fixes. At John Shelton Plumbing, we provide professional hydro jetting services to restore your pipes to like-new condition using high-pressure water—no chemicals, no excavation. Serving homeowners and businesses across the Alle-Kiski Valley, we deliver fast, effective, and long-lasting drain cleaning solutions that keep your plumbing flowing freely.
Our hydro jetting system uses specialized equipment to blast away grease, roots, scale, and buildup with precision, operating at pressures between 1,000 and 4,000 PSI. The result? A cleaner, safer, and more efficient plumbing system—without damaging your pipes.
What Is Hydro Jetting?
Hydro jetting is an advanced drain cleaning method that uses a high-pressure stream of water to scour the interior of pipes. Unlike traditional snaking or chemical drain cleaners, hydro jetting completely removes buildup instead of just punching through it. The process is safe for most residential and commercial systems, and it’s ideal for restoring flow in sewer and drain lines affected by grease, roots, and mineral deposits.
When to Schedule Hydro Jetting
You may need professional hydro jetting if you experience:
- Frequent or recurring drain clogs
- Gurgling sounds or slow-moving drains
- Foul odors from sinks or floor drains
- Backups affecting multiple fixtures
- Heavy grease buildup in kitchen or restaurant drains
- Tree roots invading underground lines
Before any jetting service, we recommend a sewer camera inspection to confirm the condition of your pipes and ensure hydro jetting is the right solution for your system.
How the Hydro Jetting Process Works
- Initial Inspection: Our technicians perform a camera inspection to identify blockages, corrosion, or structural damage.
- Setup: We connect a hydro jetting hose to your plumbing system and adjust pressure levels to match the pipe size and condition.
- Cleaning: Water is blasted through the line at up to 4,000 PSI, cutting through buildup, roots, and residue.
- Rinse and Verify: Once the debris is cleared, we re-inspect the line to verify complete cleaning and flow restoration.
The process is safe, chemical-free, and environmentally friendly—leaving your lines as clean as the day they were installed.
Benefits of Professional Hydro Jetting
1. Thorough Cleaning
Hydro jetting doesn’t just clear a path; it cleans your pipes entirely. By removing years of buildup, it restores your plumbing’s original diameter and flow rate, reducing the risk of future blockages. The water jet scours pipe walls clean of grease, sludge, roots, and mineral scale—making it one of the most effective drain cleaning methods available.
2. Chemical-Free and Eco-Friendly
Unlike harsh drain cleaners that corrode metal and PVC over time, hydro jetting uses only water. It’s safe for your pipes, your property, and the environment. This makes it especially ideal for homes with septic systems or businesses in the food service industry.
3. Non-Invasive and Flexible
Hydro jetting allows our plumbers to clean lines without digging or cutting into walls. The hose and nozzle can reach long distances and navigate tight bends, making it perfect for older homes or hard-to-access systems.
4. Prevents Future Plumbing Problems
Because hydro jetting removes buildup entirely, it keeps your lines cleaner longer. Regular maintenance can prevent clogs, extend the life of your sewer and drain system, and eliminate odors caused by decomposing organic matter.
5. Saves Time and Money
While hydro jetting may cost slightly more upfront than basic snaking, it saves money in the long run by preventing repeat clogs and costly repairs. It’s faster, cleaner, and delivers results that last years—not weeks.
