You know that feeling when water actually goes down the drain instead of backing up into your sink. That’s what hydro jetting delivers every single time.
Unlike snaking that just pokes a hole through the clog, hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to completely clean your pipe walls. We’re talking about removing years of grease buildup, soap scum, hair, and debris that’s been accumulating in there.
The result? Drains that flow freely, stay cleaner longer, and don’t surprise you with sudden backups when you’re trying to get ready for work.
We’ve been handling Somerville’s plumbing challenges since 2007. We understand what winter freeze-thaw cycles do to your pipes and how the area’s older infrastructure creates unique drainage issues.
Our team knows Somerville’s neighborhoods, from Davis Square to Union Square. We’ve worked in the triple-deckers, the updated condos, and everything in between.
You get upfront pricing before we start, licensed technicians who show up when scheduled, and warranties that actually mean something. No surprises, no runaround, just honest work done right.
First, we inspect your pipes with a specialized camera to see exactly what we’re dealing with. This shows us the blockage location, severity, and pipe condition before we start.
Next comes the actual hydro jetting. We use high-pressure water jets that blast away clogs and scrub your pipe walls clean. Think power washer for your plumbing system, but with precise control and the right pressure for your specific pipes.
Finally, we run another camera inspection to verify everything is flowing properly. You see the before and after, so you know exactly what you got for your money.

Every hydro jetting service includes a complete camera inspection before and after the cleaning. You’re not paying for guesswork – you see exactly what’s happening in your pipes.
In Somerville, we deal with everything from grease buildup in Porter Square restaurants to tree root intrusion in older residential areas near Tufts. Our equipment handles it all: mineral deposits from the area’s hard water, soap scum accumulation, and the debris that comes from decades-old plumbing systems.
You get a 7-day warranty on drain cleaning and our standard 1-year labor warranty. Plus, new customers receive a free main sewer line camera inspection to catch potential problems before they become expensive emergencies.
The cost depends on your specific situation – pipe length, blockage severity, and accessibility all factor in. Most residential hydro jetting in Somerville runs between $300-800, but we provide free estimates so you know the exact price before we start.
We don’t believe in surprise charges or hidden fees. You get transparent, upfront pricing that covers the camera inspection, hydro jetting, and follow-up verification. No hourly rates that keep climbing while you watch.
Yes, when done by trained professionals like our team. We adjust water pressure based on your pipe material and condition – what works for newer PVC isn’t the same as what’s appropriate for older cast iron or clay pipes common in Somerville.
That’s why we always start with a camera inspection. We can see your pipe condition and adjust our approach accordingly. Our technicians are trained to recognize when hydro jetting is appropriate and when alternative methods might be better for your specific situation.
Most Somerville homes benefit from hydro jetting every 1-2 years as preventative maintenance. If you’re dealing with recurring clogs, tree root issues, or have multiple people in the household, you might need it more frequently.
Commercial properties, especially restaurants and food service businesses, often need hydro jetting every 6-12 months due to grease and food waste buildup. We can recommend a maintenance schedule based on your specific usage patterns and pipe condition after the initial service.
Regular drain cleaning with a snake just pokes a hole through the blockage – like threading a needle through the clog. Hydro jetting completely clears the entire pipe diameter, removing buildup from the walls and flushing everything downstream.
Think of it this way: snaking is a temporary fix that gets water flowing again. Hydro jetting is a thorough cleaning that restores your pipes to near-original condition. That’s why hydro jetting prevents future clogs much more effectively than traditional methods.
Not when performed correctly by licensed professionals. We use specialized equipment that controls water pressure precisely, and our technicians are trained to recognize different pipe materials and conditions.
The camera inspection we perform first shows us exactly what we’re working with. If we spot any concerns about pipe integrity, we’ll discuss alternative approaches. Our goal is solving your drainage problem safely, not creating new ones.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency plumbing services including hydro jetting when needed. Sewage backups and major drain blockages don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we.
Emergency service does carry premium pricing, but we’ll always give you the cost upfront before starting work. Sometimes a middle-of-the-night hydro jetting service is exactly what you need to prevent water damage and get your home functioning again.
