Professional Drain Cleaning Westwood

Your Drains Will Flow Like New Again

No more standing water in your sink while you’re trying to get ready for work. No more scheduling your shower around slow drainage. No more calling a plumber every few months for the same recurring clog.

Hydro jetting doesn’t just break through blockages—it completely removes years of buildup from your pipe walls. Grease, hair, soap scum, and even tree roots get blasted away with precision water pressure up to 4,000 PSI.

You’ll notice the difference immediately. Water flows faster, drains empty completely, and those annoying gurgling sounds disappear. Most importantly, the problem stays solved because we’ve actually cleaned the entire pipe, not just created a temporary pathway through the mess.

Hydro Jetting Process Westwood

Here's Exactly What Happens During Service

First, we inspect your pipes with a video camera to locate the blockage and assess your pipe condition. This step is crucial because it tells us the exact pressure settings to use and confirms your pipes can handle the process safely.

Next, we insert a specialized nozzle connected to our high-pressure water system into your drain line. The nozzle has forward-facing jets that blast through clogs and backward-facing jets that propel the head forward while scrubbing the pipe walls clean.

We work systematically through your system, adjusting pressure as needed. Tree roots get cut away, grease dissolves completely, and years of accumulated debris get flushed out of your system.

Finally, we run another camera inspection to verify everything is flowing properly and show you the results. You’ll see the difference—clean pipe walls and unrestricted water flow throughout your entire system.

Westwood’s older neighborhoods often deal with tree root intrusion, especially along University Avenue and the areas near Hale Reservation.

How is hydro jetting different from snaking my drains?

Snaking is like poking a hole through a clog—it creates a pathway for water to flow but leaves most of the buildup stuck to your pipe walls. Within weeks or months, debris accumulates around the remaining buildup and you’re dealing with the same problem again.

Hydro jetting completely removes everything from your pipes. The high-pressure water (up to 4,000 PSI) scours the entire interior surface clean, removing grease, hair, soap scum, mineral deposits, and even tree roots.

Think of it as the difference between poking a hole through a dirty sponge versus washing the sponge completely clean. That’s why hydro jetting results last significantly longer and why many of our Westwood customers schedule it as preventative maintenance every 1-2 years rather than calling us for emergency clogs every few months.

Yes, when performed by trained professionals who understand how to adjust pressure settings for different pipe materials and conditions. This is exactly why we always start with a video camera inspection—it shows us the condition of your pipes and any weak spots that need special attention.

Our technicians are trained to recognize different pipe materials common in Westwood homes, from cast iron in older properties to PVC in newer construction. We adjust water pressure accordingly, typically using lower pressure for older pipes and higher pressure for newer, more durable materials.

We’ve safely cleaned pipes in homes throughout Westwood’s historic neighborhoods without causing damage. The key is having experienced technicians who understand the equipment and take time to assess each situation properly. That’s why we never rush through inspections and always explain what we’re seeing before we begin work.

For most Westwood homeowners, every 1-2 years is ideal for preventative maintenance. However, the frequency depends on several factors specific to your situation and location.

Homes with large trees nearby (especially common in Westwood’s established neighborhoods) may need service more frequently due to root intrusion. Families with heavy kitchen use or homes with older cast iron pipes might also benefit from annual cleaning.

If you’re currently dealing with recurring clogs every few months, hydro jetting will likely extend that to 1-2 years between service calls. We’ll give you a realistic timeline based on what we see during your camera inspection and your specific usage patterns. Many of our customers find that investing in annual preventative hydro jetting actually costs less than dealing with multiple emergency service calls throughout the year.

Hydro jetting can remove virtually any blockage that traditional snaking cannot handle effectively. This includes heavy grease buildup from kitchen drains, hair and soap scum accumulation in bathroom lines, mineral deposits from hard water, and even tree roots that have infiltrated your sewer line.

We regularly clear roots from maple and oak trees that are common throughout Westwood’s mature neighborhoods. The high-pressure water cuts through roots and flushes them completely out of your system, unlike snaking which often just breaks roots into pieces that can cause problems downstream.

Other tough blockages we handle include years of accumulated debris in main sewer lines, construction debris that may have been flushed during renovations, and even items that have been accidentally flushed. The only blockages we can’t address with hydro jetting are solid objects like toys or jewelry, which require different removal techniques.

Hydro jetting typically costs between $300-800 for residential service in the Westwood area, depending on the complexity of your drainage system and severity of blockages. We provide upfront, transparent pricing before any work begins, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying.

Several factors affect the final cost: accessibility of your cleanout ports, length of pipe that needs cleaning, severity of blockages, and whether additional services like camera inspection are needed. Most of our Westwood customers find the investment worthwhile because it eliminates recurring service calls for the same problems.

We offer free estimates and will explain exactly what’s included in your service. Many customers discover that annual preventative hydro jetting costs less than dealing with multiple emergency drain cleaning calls throughout the year. Plus, we back our work with warranties and offer financing options to make the service more accessible.

No digging required. Hydro jetting is a trenchless process that accesses your pipes through existing cleanout ports or through your home’s plumbing fixtures. We don’t need to excavate your landscaping or disrupt your property.

This is especially important for Westwood homeowners who’ve invested in mature landscaping and established gardens. The process is completely contained within your existing pipe system—we simply insert our specialized equipment through access points and clean from the inside.

The only time excavation might be necessary is if your home doesn’t have adequate cleanout access, but this is rare. Most homes have sufficient access points, and our technicians are experienced in working through various entry points to complete the job without disturbing your yard. We always protect your home’s interior with drop cloths and take care to leave your property exactly as we found it.
