Home/Drain Cleaning/Hydro Jetting
Commercial-Grade Equipment · CFC 1433130Snaking punches a hole through a clog. Jetting scours the entire interior pipe wall back to its original diameter, removing the grease, scale, and roots that make clogs come back. Residential and commercial across Southwest Florida.
Hydro jetting is a drain and sewer cleaning method that uses controlled high-pressure water through specialized nozzles to scour the entire interior surface of a pipe. Unlike snaking, which clears only a narrow pathway through a blockage, jetting removes grease, sludge, mineral scale, and tree roots from the full pipe wall, restoring original diameter and drainage capacity. United Plumbing provides hydro jetting for residential and commercial properties across Fort Myers and Southwest Florida.
Recurring clogs usually indicate heavy buildup coating the inside of the pipe. Traditional snaking may create a temporary opening, but the grease, sludge, scale, and root intrusion stay attached to the pipe surface, so blockages return and drainage stays restricted.
In Fort Myers, aging cast-iron sewer lines, mineral-heavy water, and grease buildup commonly drive these problems. Licensed plumbers evaluate pipe condition before cleaning to ensure safe, effective results.
The Difference
Clears a path
A cable bores through the blockage and pulls out what it catches. Water moves again, which feels like a fix.
Cleans the pipe
High-pressure water scours the full interior surface, stripping the buildup that the cable left behind.
What Comes Out
High-pressure water directed through specialized nozzles scours the entire pipe interior, clearing what a cable leaves behind.
When To Use It
Hydro jetting may be recommended when traditional drain cleaning methods cannot fully resolve recurring blockages. Common situations include:
When performed correctly, hydro jetting restores pipe interior condition and reduces the risk of future clogs.
Hydro jetting requires proper equipment and trained technicians to safely clean plumbing pipes without causing damage. United Plumbing follows a structured process:
This approach ensures the pipe is cleaned thoroughly while protecting pipe integrity.
Jetting is powerful, and that is exactly why pipe condition gets evaluated before the nozzle goes in. A line that is already cracked, badly corroded, or collapsed needs a different conversation, usually repair or replacement. Camera inspection first is what separates a safe jetting job from an expensive surprise.
Traditional methods often remove only part of the blockage. Hydro jetting restores the pipe interior by removing buildup from the entire pipe surface. Benefits include:
Hydro jetting helps restore drain and sewer systems to near-original performance.

Common Questions
It is safe on pipe that is structurally sound, which is why we evaluate condition before jetting and camera the line when needed. Where a pipe is already cracked, heavily corroded, or collapsing, jetting is not the right answer and we will say so rather than proceed.
A cable clears a path through the blockage. Jetting scours the full interior wall back to original diameter. That is why a snaked line often clogs again in the same place while a jetted line drains properly for far longer.
Yes. High-pressure water cuts through root intrusion and flushes it out. Worth knowing though: roots got in through a crack or open joint, so a camera inspection afterward tells you whether the pipe itself now needs repair or replacement, or whether periodic jetting will hold it.
Yes, and it is one of the most common commercial uses. Grease coats the pipe wall in a way cables barely touch. Many restaurants put jetting on a preventive maintenance schedule so lines never reach the point of backing up during service.
It depends on what the line handles. A home line may only need it when problems recur, while a commercial kitchen often benefits from a set interval. After jetting, we will tell you what we saw and recommend a realistic interval rather than a default one.
No. It is water only, under controlled pressure. That makes it a safer option than chemical drain cleaners, which can corrode pipes and are especially hard on the cast iron common in older Fort Myers homes.
A camera inspection is the useful step before a sale, since it documents the line's actual condition. Jetting is worth doing where the inspection shows heavy buildup, both to restore flow and to let the camera see the pipe wall clearly.
