If you’ve been dealing with recurring clogs, slow drains, or sewer backups in your home, you may have already tried plungers, store-bought drain cleaners, or even snaking the line. But when clogs keep coming back, it’s usually a sign of a deeper issue inside your plumbing system, not just a simple blockage.
That’s where hydrojetting comes in. Hydrojetting is one of the most effective ways to clean and restore drain and sewer lines, especially when buildup and debris have accumulated over time.
At Rapid Rooter Plumbing, we’ve used hydrojetting to help homeowners across Phoenix, Peoria, Glendale, and Surprise get their plumbing systems flowing smoothly again. Here’s why hydrojetting often beats every other method.
Hydrojetting is a process where a high-pressure stream of water, usually between 2,500 and 4,000 PSI, is directed through your drain or sewer line. The specialized nozzle sprays water in multiple directions, cutting through:
Grease buildup
Heavy scale and mineral deposits
Hair and soap scum
Flushable wipes and hygiene products
Food debris
Tree roots (small to medium growth)
Years of compacted sludge
It doesn’t just break up blockages, it cleans the inside of the pipe.
Traditional snaking tools can break open a clog, but they don’t remove the buildup that caused the clog in the first place. That’s why clogs often return shortly after snaking.
Hydrojetting, however:
Completely clears the entire diameter of the pipe
Removes buildup, not just penetrates it
Prevents clogs from coming back
Is safe for most modern plumbing systems when done by a professional
Think of snaking like poking a hole through the middle of a problem, and hydrojetting like flushing the problem away entirely.
Hydrojetting is ideal for:
Homes with recurring drain backups
Sewer lines impacted by tree roots
Older pipes with heavy mineral scale
Restaurants or homes with frequent grease buildup
Drain lines clogged with wipes, paper towels, or sanitary products
If you notice any of these signs, hydrojetting may be the solution:
Slow drains throughout the home
Gurgling or bubbling noises
Bad odors coming from drains
Sewage backups in tubs or showers
A quick sewer camera inspection can confirm if hydrojetting is the right approach.
Hydrojetting is safe when performed by a licensed plumber who first inspects the condition of your sewer line. If the pipe is already collapsed or severely damaged, repair or replacement will be recommended first.
However, for most PVC, ABS, and even cast iron lines in serviceable condition, hydrojetting is one of the safest and most effective cleaning methods available.
