When stubborn clogs and buildup won’t budge, it’s time to bring out the big guns. At Pelican Underground LLC, our hydro jetting services use high-pressure water to blast away even the toughest blockages from your pipes. We’re not talking about your garden hose. We’re using powerful water jet cleaning that can cut through years of grease, roots, and scale buildup.
Hydro jetting is like giving your pipes a power wash from the inside. We use specialized equipment that shoots high-pressure water streams at thousands of PSI (pounds per square inch) through your pipes. This sewer jetting process doesn’t just push blockages down the line. It completely removes them.
Before performing hydro jetting, we typically conduct a thorough sewer camera inspection to identify the location and nature of blockages, ensuring we use the appropriate pressure and techniques for your specific pipe conditions.
Unlike traditional methods that just create holes through clogs, power jetting removes blockages entirely. Your pipes will be as clean as the day they were installed.
Regular hydro jetting prevents future clogs by removing the buildup that causes them. It’s like changing your car’s oil – a small investment that prevents bigger problems.
Our hydraulic cleaning process uses only water, no harsh chemicals that could harm your family or the environment. It meets all municipal requirements and environmental regulations.
By thoroughly cleaning your pipes, hydro jetting reduces the need for frequent service calls. Many of our customers go years between cleanings after a thorough hydro jetting.
Hydro jetting often serves as the preparatory step in our comprehensive residential trenchless solutions, ensuring pipes are thoroughly cleaned before advanced repair techniques like CIPP lining or pipe bursting are implemented.
You should consider our high-pressure water cleaning services when you notice:
For routine maintenance and minor clogs that don’t require high-pressure cleaning, our standard residential drain cleaning methods provide gentle yet effective solutions for most household drain issues.
This is one of the most common questions we get, and the answer is: it depends on your pipes’ condition. That’s exactly why we always inspect first.
While hydro jetting effectively clears blockages and buildup, pipes showing structural damage from our pre-cleaning inspection may require trenchless pipe repair to address underlying issues and prevent recurring problems.
Our experienced technicians adjust pressure levels based on your specific pipe materials and conditions. We’re not here to damage your system. We’re here to make it work better.
We’re not just another plumbing company. We’re specialists in advanced pipe cleaning and repair. Here’s what sets us apart:
Hydro jetting costs vary based on the severity of blockages, pipe length, and accessibility. Most residential jobs range from $300-800, while commercial properties may cost more due to larger pipe systems. We provide upfront pricing after our initial inspection, so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
For most residential properties, every 1-2 years is sufficient for preventive maintenance. Commercial properties, especially restaurants, may need quarterly or bi-annual service. Properties with heavy tree coverage might need annual root cutting to prevent intrusion.
No, hydro jetting is performed entirely through existing access points like cleanouts and manholes. There’s no digging or disruption to your landscaping. The process is contained within your pipe system.
Traditional drain cleaning uses mechanical tools like snakes to create holes through blockages. Hydro jetting completely removes blockages and scrubs pipe walls clean. It’s like the difference between poking a hole in a clogged sink versus completely cleaning it.
Most residential hydro jetting jobs take 1-3 hours, depending on the extent of blockages and pipe length. Commercial properties may take longer. We include inspection time in our service, so you’ll get a complete assessment of your pipe condition.
Yes, hydro jetting uses only water under pressure. No chemicals or harmful substances. It’s one of the most environmentally friendly pipe cleaning methods available and meets all environmental regulations in our service areas.
Hydro jetting is extremely effective for organic blockages, grease, roots, and mineral buildup. However, solid objects like toys or jewelry may need mechanical removal first. Our pre-inspection camera work identifies what we’re dealing with before we start.
In most cases, yes. Hydro jetting addresses the root cause of recurring clogs by removing the buildup that causes them. However, if your pipes have structural damage or are improperly graded, you may need additional repairs for a permanent solution.
