Professional Hydro Jetting for Stubborn Drain Clogs in Knoxville

When Drain Cleaning Isn’t Enough

When traditional drain cleaning methods fail, Hydro Jetting offers a powerful solution. This advanced technique uses high-pressure water streams to break apart and flush out stubborn blockages. At Quality, we provide expert Hydro Jetting services in Knoxville and surrounding counties, ensuring your plumbing system stays clear and efficient.

How Hydro Jetting Works

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water at up to 4,000 PSI to effectively clear clogs, debris, and buildup from your pipes. Unlike drain snaking, which only punctures clogs, hydro jetting fully removes blockages and cleans the pipe walls to restore proper water flow. This method is safe for most modern pipes but should be used with caution on older systems, which may require an inspection beforehand.

Some Common Drain Issues That Require Hydro Jetting

Persistent Clogs

Drains that are slow or completely blocked may indicate deeper plumbing issues, especially if standard plunging or drain cleaners don’t work.

Buildup from Grease, Soap & Minerals

Over time, grease, soap scum, & hard water deposits can accumulate inside pipes, narrowing the passage and restricting water flow.

Tree Root Intrusion

Roots can grow into underground sewer lines, causing major blockages and potential pipe damage that require professional removal.
