We have invested a substantial amount of time and resources to sharpen our skills and acquire the most effective hydro jetting rigs and tools to easily clean and clear a wide range of pipe types and sizes.
We have the ability to not only clear grease, roots, concrete, grout, sand, scale, sludge, build-up, wood, metal, or any other substance from your lines. But we can also locate our tips as far as 600 ft. away from the access point through any type of piping including steel or ductile lines.
FAQs for Hydro Jetting
Our hydro jet rigs work at a pressure that is not destructive to any piping in good conditions.
Our hydro jet rigs clean the pipe walls and clear debris much faster and more efficiently than sewer cables can. We also offer high speed descaling for old cast iron pipe that high-pressure water jetting will not take off the pipe walls.
We specialized in servicing lines that are 2-inch through 24-inch.

Quick Answer
Hydro jetting clears a drain or sewer line by driving water through a specialized nozzle at high pressure, scouring grease, sludge, scale, and root hair off the full inside wall of the pipe rather than just punching a hole through the blockage. Advantage Plumbing uses jetting on lines with recurring buildup across Calcasieu, Beauregard, and Cameron parishes, and inspects the line with a sewer camera first when pipe age or condition is unknown.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is hydro jetting and how does it work?
A hose with a directional nozzle is fed into the line through a cleanout. Water is delivered at high pressure through rear-facing jets that pull the hose forward and flush debris back toward the access point. Because the spray reaches the full circumference of the pipe, it removes the film that a cable leaves behind.
How is hydro jetting different from a drain snake?
A snake bores through an obstruction and restores flow. Jetting removes the material itself. After snaking, the pipe is open but still coated; after jetting, the pipe is closer to its original inside diameter. That difference is why jetting tends to hold longer on grease and root problems.
Is hydro jetting safe for older pipes?
Not in every case. Pipe that is already cracked, badly corroded, or partially collapsed can be made worse by high pressure. That is why line condition should be verified with a camera inspection before jetting an older or unknown line, and why pressure is matched to the pipe rather than run at maximum by default.
How often should a sewer line be hydro jetted?
There is no fixed interval for a residential line with no history of trouble. Lines that serve commercial kitchens, or residential lines with known root intrusion, are commonly scheduled on a preventive cycle because the buildup rate is predictable. The right interval comes from what the camera shows on the previous visit.
Can hydro jetting cut through tree roots?
Jetting removes fine root hair and the debris caught in it, and a cutting nozzle can clear heavier root mass. It does not fix the opening the roots entered through. If roots keep returning, the joint or crack letting them in needs to be repaired or the section relined.
