Frequently Asked Questions About Hydro Jetting in St. Petersburg

What is hydro jetting, and how does it work?

Hydro jetting is a drain cleaning method that uses high-pressure water to remove grease, debris, and buildup inside pipes. Instead of using harsh chemicals or augers, hydro jetting blasts away clogs with up to 4,000 PSI of pressurized water—completely restoring flow and improving pipe health.

Is hydro jetting safe for all types of pipes?

Yes — when performed by professionals like All County Plumbing & Leak, hydro jetting is safe for most modern plumbing systems, including PVC, copper, and cast iron pipes. Before starting, we always inspect your lines using a camera to ensure the right pressure and technique for your pipe material.

How often should hydro jetting be done?

For most homes, we recommend hydro jetting every 18–24 months as preventive maintenance. Commercial properties—especially restaurants or facilities with heavy grease use—may benefit from quarterly or biannual service to keep lines clear and flowing efficiently.

How is hydro jetting different from snaking a drain?

Snaking only breaks through part of a blockage, while hydro jetting cleans the entire pipe wall. Think of snaking as poking a small hole in a clog, and hydro jetting as power-washing the inside of your pipes—removing grease, roots, and buildup completely.

Can hydro jetting help with tree roots?

Yes! Hydro jetting is one of the most effective ways to clear minor to moderate tree root intrusions in sewer lines. For severe root infestations, we may pair hydro jetting with root removal tools and a follow-up inspection to confirm full clearance.

Does hydro jetting use any chemicals?

No — hydro jetting is 100% eco-friendly. It relies solely on high-pressure water, making it safe for your plumbing system and the environment. That’s why it’s a preferred choice for environmentally conscious homeowners and businesses in St. Petersburg.

How long does hydro jetting take?

Most residential hydro jetting services take 1–2 hours, depending on pipe length and the severity of buildup. Larger or commercial systems may require additional time for full inspection and cleaning.
