Frequently Asked Questions
Is hydro jetting worth it?
Yes—hydro jetting is a highly effective, long-lasting solution for clearing tough clogs and thoroughly cleaning sewer pipes. It’s especially beneficial for recurring blockages or preparing pipes for inspection or repair.
What is a water jetter?
A water jetter, or hydro jetter, is a high-pressure plumbing tool used to clear stubborn clogs and clean the inside of pipes. It blasts water at up to 4,000 PSI to remove grease, roots, scale, and debris from sewer and drain lines.
How much does Roto-Rooter hydro jetting cost?
Hydro jetting costs can vary depending on the severity of the clog, pipe length, and location. On average, Roto-Rooter hydro jetting starts around $350–$600, but an in-person estimate provides the most accurate pricing.
How often should I have my sewer lines jetted?
For most homes, hydro jetting once every 1–2 years helps prevent buildup and blockages. Businesses like restaurants may need more frequent service due to heavy grease and waste. A plumber can recommend a schedule based on usage and pipe condition.
Is hydro jetting safe for old pipes?
Hydro jetting is generally safe when performed by a licensed plumber, even on older pipes. However, very brittle or damaged lines (like old clay or corroded cast iron) should be inspected first to avoid risk. A professional can assess if hydro jetting is the right choice for your system.
