Is hydrojet drain cleaning safe for all types of pipes?

Yes, hydrojet drain cleaning is safe for most types of pipes, including PVC, cast iron, and older plumbing systems. Although the hydro jet is extremely powerful, it is actually gentler on pipes compared to an auger. Hydro jetting can help increase the lifespan of your pipes by thoroughly cleaning them. However, if your pipes are already in poor condition, both a drain snake and a hydro jetter could cause further damage. In such cases, it may be necessary to replace the pipes instead of clearing or cleaning them.

At Bulldog Rooter, we ensure the safety of your pipes by using our advanced in-pipe camera system to diagnose and analyze the situation before proceeding with hydrojetting. This allows us to adjust the pressure settings appropriately and protect your pipes from damage. Our experienced technicians are dedicated to providing safe and effective solutions for your plumbing needs.
