What Is Hydro Jetting?

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to thoroughly clean the inside of your drain and sewer lines. It’s powerful enough to break through the toughest clogs but safe for your plumbing when performed by a trained technician.

Hydro jetting can remove:

  • Grease and fat buildup
  • Sludge and debris
  • Food waste
  • Soap scum
  • Mineral deposits
  • Early-stage tree root intrusion
  • Long-term scale buildup

Benefits of Hydro Jetting & Descaling

Hydro jetting and descaling provide a higher level of pipe cleaning that goes beyond what standard drain services can achieve. For Maryland homeowners, these advanced services offer a range of benefits.

Thorough Cleaning

Hydro jetting and descaling remove buildup that traditional snaking often fails to reach. These methods clean the full interior of the pipe, not just the blockage itself. As a result, your plumbing system performs better and stays cleaner for longer.

Prevents Recurring Clogs

By restoring the full diameter of your pipes, these services greatly reduce the likelihood of future blockages forming. A smooth, clean pipe interior prevents debris from catching and accumulating. This means fewer headaches and fewer calls for emergency service.

Improves Drainage

Once the buildup is removed, water can flow freely and consistently throughout your plumbing system. This leads to noticeably faster drain times in sinks, tubs, and showers.

Safe for Pipes

When performed by trained professionals, hydro jetting and descaling are safe and non-damaging for most plumbing materials. These tools and techniques are designed to clean thoroughly without putting unnecessary stress on your pipes, making them an excellent alternative to harsh chemical cleaners.

Ideal for Older Homes

Homes with cast-iron or older pipes benefit significantly from descaling, which removes rust and corrosion buildup. Restoring the interior surface of aging pipes helps improve flow and extend their lifespan. This service is especially valuable for Maryland homes where decades-old plumbing systems are common.

What Is Descaling?

Over time, cast iron piping corrodes internally, causing rough, uneven surfaces that catch grease, waste, and debris. Descaling is a specialized process that uses a machine with high-torque rotating chains to remove the resulting hard, crust-like mineral buildup.

This process helps to:

  • Scrape away corrosion
  • Smooth the inside of the pipe
  • Restore proper pipe diameter
  • Improve drain flow and pipe efficiency
Descaling is often paired with hydro jetting for a complete restoration—especially in homes with aging plumbing systems.
