Hydro jetting uses controlled high-pressure water — typically 3,000–4,000 PSI — to scour the inside of your pipes. Where snaking punches a hole through a clog, jetting removes the buildup entirely, restoring full pipe diameter. It's the right tool for recurring backups, grease-laden restaurant lines, and root intrusion.
What's included
- Restores full pipe diameter (snaking only punches through)
- Removes grease, sludge, scale, and small roots
- Ideal for recurring backups and commercial kitchens
- Safe for most residential lines when properly sized
- Camera inspection performed before and after
Our process
Camera first
We scope the line to confirm jetting is appropriate — collapsed or fragile pipe needs a different plan.
Jet the line
The right nozzle and pressure clear grease, scale, and roots while flushing debris downstream.
Re-scope
A follow-up camera pass confirms the pipe is clean end-to-end and documents the result.
Why Connecticut homeowners choose Drain Wizard for hydro jetting
Hydro Jetting in an older Connecticut home rarely fits a one-size-fits-all repair. Greater New Haven's housing stock spans century-old cast iron and galvanized systems, mid-century copper and clay laterals, 1970s Orangeburg, and modern PEX & PVC — each behaves differently and each has a right way to service it. Drain Wizard is a family-owned, Connecticut P1-licensed plumbing contractor based in Hamden, and hydro jetting is core to what our experienced plumbing professionals do every week across Hamden, North Haven, Wallingford, Cheshire, Branford, Guilford, Madison, Milford, Meriden, New Haven and the rest of the region.
Every hydro jetting call starts with a real diagnosis — not a guess — and a detailed written estimate you approve before any work begins. We show up when we say we will, protect your home with drop cloths and shoe covers, and stand behind the workmanship with the Drain Wizard Guarantee. If a permit or inspection is required, we pull it and see it through.

A real hydro jetting call we handled
A Route 10 restaurant in Cheshire was calling for a backup every six weeks. We cameraed the grease line and found a thick coating of hardened grease and food solids. One hydro jetting pass, plus a scheduled 3-month maintenance plan, ended the callbacks and kept them open through their busiest season.
