Hydro Jetting in New London
When Drain Cleaning Needs to Go Further
Not every drain issue responds to a standard snake. For New London properties facing recurring backups, heavily scaled pipe walls, or lines that haven't been serviced in years, hydro jetting provides a more comprehensive solution. High-pressure water cleans the pipe's interior from wall to wall, removing grease films, root fragments, mineral buildup, and compacted debris that a cable-style snake can't fully reach.
Before our team at Mom & Pop Plumbing applies any pressure to your line, we inspect it. Camera inspection verifies the condition of the pipe walls and detects any structural issues, such as a cracked section, an offset joint, or a severely deteriorated area, that would make jetting inadvisable until repairs are made. This step protects your pipes and keeps the cleaning process more effective.
Properties throughout the Jefferson neighborhood, Northwest New London, and the older multi-family housing near the waterfront are candidates for periodic hydro jetting, especially when pipes have been in use for decades, and the original clay or cast-iron material is still in place.

Camera Inspection Before Any Pressure Enters the Line
The inspection is the step that makes every other step more effective.
Our technicians run a high-resolution camera through the drain or sewer line and review the footage in real time.
What we are looking for:
- Pipe condition – Cracks, fractures, or seriously deteriorated sections change the plan. Jetting at full pressure against a compromised pipe wall risks converting a cleaning job into a repair job. When the camera shows damage, we address that first.
- Blockage type and location – Grease buildup, root intrusion, sediment accumulation, and physical debris each respond differently to water pressure. Knowing what is in the line and where it is concentrated allows our team to adjust nozzle selection and pressure settings before work begins.
- Access point suitability – Not all cleanout locations are equally accessible or safe to work from. The inspection confirms the best entry point for the jetting equipment and whether any preparation is needed before we begin.
Once the inspection is complete, our team explains what was found, answers any questions, and confirms the approach with you before proceeding.
The Jetting Process
Hydro jetting employs a specialized nozzle attached to a flexible hose connected to a high-pressure water system. The nozzle is designed to direct water forward to break up blockages and backward to flush dislodged material toward the access point for removal.
Our technicians work systematically along the line, adjusting pressure and nozzle type based on what the inspection shows. For lines with heavy grease buildup, multiple passes through the same section may be necessary to completely remove it from the pipe walls. For root intrusion, jetting cuts and flushes root material out of the line, although root growth often resumes if the pipe crack that allowed the roots in is not repaired.
Throughout the process, our team monitors progress and communicates with you if anything unexpected is found. You are not left waiting without updates.
