You expect wastewater to flow smoothly and efficiently from your home into the main sewer line. However, over time, sludge, grime, debris, and waste can build up within your pipes and slow the flow. Tree roots can infiltrate the pipes. Waste can create clogs, and it doesn’t take long for the flow to slow to a trickle and cause sewage backups and other problems. At W.F. Hann & Sons, LLC, our team can effectively use high-powered water jets to remove the obstructions and debris so as to restore the swift and smooth flow you expect from your drains and sewer line.

What is Hydro Jetting?
Hydro jetting involves the use of highly pressurized water and specialized nozzles that we insert into your drains and pipes. Depending on the pipes and the issues involved, this can be anywhere from 1,500 PSI to 4,000 PSI. Our plumbers will carefully insert the nozzle and hose, taking great care to protect your pipes from damage. For most issues, the process can take anywhere from an hour to several hours to complete.Â
5 Signs You Need Hydro Jetting Done
We advise all homeowners to closely monitor the performance of their sewer line. Often, you’ll notice signs that indicate obstructions, leaks, clogs, and other issues. Common signs you will want to watch out for include:
- Slow drainage: Slow drainage can indicate significant clogs or obstructions such as tree roots.
- Noxious odors: Foul odors wafting through drains indicate waste is decomposing within the pipes rather than being flushed through.
- Sewage backups: Backups into one or more drains indicate a major blockage that requires immediate attention.
- Frequent clogs: Frequent clogs can indicate an obstruction within the pipes that is catching waste as it flows through. Hydro jetting can often resolve this problem.Â
- Gurgling or bubbling sounds: These sounds are caused by air getting trapped in the pipes. They’re obstructions disrupting the efficient flow of waste into the main sewer line.Â
Our Professional Hydro Jetting Services
Hydro jetting isn’t something you can master via a few YouTube videos or blogs. It requires specialized training and considerable experience to safely complete the task. At W.F. Hann & Sons, our plumbers complete extensive training that allows us to determine the appropriate pressure, point of entry, and techniques to remove debris and blockages without damaging PVC, cast iron, or other types of pipes.Â
For most homes, the process takes less than a couple of hours to complete. Duration depends on the size and complexity of the plumbing network, the type of obstruction, and the condition of the pipes. We take our time to ensure everything is done right, and it shows in the quality of the services and finished results we deliver.Â
Of course, some problems can’t be hydro jetted away. Damaged pipes, older pipes, collapsed pipes, and other issues require other solutions. When we determine that hydro jetting would exacerbate the issue or potentially create new problems, we will recommend alternative solutions for restoring the flow of wastewater into your main sewer line or septic system.Â
