Hydro jetting gets its cleaning power from water pressure — often up to 4,000 PSI. Here's what that means and why it's safe when done right.
A hydro jetter pushes water through a specialized nozzle at pressures that can reach 4,000 PSI, with forward jets to break through clogs and reverse jets that pull the hose forward while scouring the pipe wall clean in every direction.
Pressure and nozzle are matched to the pipe's size and condition. That's why we camera a questionable line first — on sound pipe, jetting is both powerful and safe; on fragile pipe, we adjust or recommend repair instead.
