Hydro Jetting in Hamden, CT
Clogs that keep coming back need more than a snake. Hydro jetting scours grease, scale and roots off the pipe wall — restoring flow in older Hamden drains and giving you a clean camera video to prove it.
Why Hamden calls Drain Wizard for hydro jetting
A lot of Hamden's residential drainage is 60–100 years old — cast iron kitchen stacks, clay laterals, galvanized branches. The interior scale looks like tree bark on camera. Snaking punches a hole through it; a week later the clog is back. Hydro jetting actually removes the build-up, and paired with a camera pre- and post-inspection you can see the pipe wall come back. Restaurants along Dixwell Avenue and Whitney Avenue use us for scheduled grease-line maintenance for the same reason.

Hamden hydro jetting FAQs
What is hydro jetting?+
Hydro jetting uses a high-pressure water hose (up to 4,000 PSI) with a specialized nozzle that scours the inside of the pipe wall — cutting through grease, mineral scale, soap and root hair. Unlike snaking, which pokes a hole through the clog, jetting restores the pipe closer to its original diameter.
Is hydro jetting safe for older Hamden pipes?+
In most cases, yes. We inspect the line on camera first. Structurally sound cast iron, PVC and clay handle jetting well. If we see cracks, bellies or Orangeburg pipe, we'll tell you honestly and recommend a different approach — we don't jet a pipe that shouldn't be jetted.
When should I choose jetting instead of snaking?+
Snake for hair, paper and simple clogs. Jet for grease-laden kitchen stacks (common in Spring Glen and Whitneyville), heavily scaled cast iron mains, root-clogged clay laterals under Hamden's oak-lined streets, and any drain that clogs again within weeks of being snaked.
Do you camera the line after jetting?+
Yes. We follow every main-line jetting with a camera pass so you can see the restored pipe wall on the monitor before we leave.
How much does hydro jetting cost in Hamden?+
A $125 service charge applies to service calls and includes a full diagnostic plus a detailed written estimate. If you hire us for the job, the $125 fee is waived. If you call us back within one week to schedule the work, the full $125 is credited toward the job.
