Our modern cleaning techniques might seem like magic! Hydro jetting is a modern technique for cleaning drains that involves using highly-pressurized water to clean the inside of your pipes. This high pressure is powerful enough to remove debris such as grease, fats, oils, and clogs, but precise enough that it won’t hurt your pipes. It’s a fast and effective method of cleaning, but it’s important that our plumber finds out if there are other issues first, such as combining this with video line inspections. Otherwise, it might end up causing more problems instead of being the solution!
