When performed by experienced professionals using proper equipment, hydro jetting is safe for pipes in good condition. We always start with video inspection to assess pipe integrity before applying any pressure.
Modern PVC, ABS, clay, and cast iron pipes handle hydro jetting pressure without problems. However, pipes that are already cracked, collapsed, or severely deteriorated might not be suitable candidates. This is why the pre-inspection step is so important—we need to know what we’re working with.
Our technicians adjust pressure settings based on pipe material, age, and condition. We use different nozzles and techniques for different situations, and we monitor the process carefully throughout the job. If we discover pipe damage during inspection, we’ll recommend appropriate repairs before proceeding with cleaning.
