Real Facts About The Cost of Hydro-Jetting

What do you really know about hydro-jetting? Let's be honest: hydro-jetting is one of those things in life that until you need it, you probably don't know much about it.

So, what is it? Simply put, it's a method of drain cleaning that involves using a highly pressurized stream of water to clear the insides of your pipes (think pressure cleaning, but for your drains).

What makes hydro-jetting different from other drain cleaning methods? And is it worth the cost of the service? Read on to learn a little more about why you might need hydro-jetting, and how much you can usually expect to pay for it.

Why Do You Need Hydro-Jetting?

Hydro jetting has become the generally preferred method for professional drain and pipe cleaning. Why? To start with, hydro-jetting more efficient than other services, like snaking, when it comes to removing a stubborn clog from your drain.

It also removes grease and mineral buildup along the inside walls of your pipes; snaking can only partially remove a clog, and won't do anything for the walls of the pipe. At one point in time, the best way to clean out a pipe was to drill a small hole and scoop out any obstructions.

Not only did this not clean the walls of the pipe effectively, but it also threatened the integrity of the pipe. Hydro jetting is more effective, and less risky since it poses no threat to your pipes' structure. Most people call for hydrojetting service when they start to experience things like slow drainage, recurring clogs, or multiple drains becoming clogged at once.

Once these issues are present, if drain cleaning doesn't occur, you could find yourself dealing with an unsanitary sewage backup in your home. Hydro jetting may also be recommended if you need to have any work done on your pipes to repair a crack or address corrosion, as buildup on the pipe walls can affect the outcome of those jobs.

What Does Hydro-Jetting Cost on Average?

The average cost of hydro jetting can range anywhere from $250 to nearly $1000 and varies depending on everything from how severe the clog is to how dirty the walls of your pipe are, to even where you live.

For that reason, it is difficult to say how much you'll pay for hydro jetting without knowing the specific needs of your pipe. Now, don't let that price scare you!

For simpler drain cleaning projects, like clearing an easy to reach obstruction that's not too far back in the line, in lower cost neighborhoods, hydro jetting can cost as little as $100!
