Yes, hydro jetting can clear different types of blockages, including grease, mineral deposits, hair, and tree roots in many cases. The high-pressure water, blasting at up to 4,000 PSI, is strong enough to clear away stubborn clogs like tree roots and scale.
However, the effectiveness depends on the extent of root intrusion. If tree roots have moved dangerously close to your plumbing system or caused significant damage, we may need to use specialized augers first or recommend pipe repair. Tree root infiltration is a common cause of sewer line backups, and we can diagnose the issue and apply appropriate repairs.
We use video inspection to view your pipes from inside and see signs of damage or root intrusion, mapping problem areas so we know exactly where to focus our efforts. For Malden properties with mature trees, we can assess whether hydro jetting alone will solve the problem or if additional measures are needed.
