HYDRO JETTING / DRAIN CLEANING SPECIALIST

FROM BALTIMORE, MD. TO WILMINGTON, DE. AND SURROUNDING AREAS

Residential and Commercial Hydro jetting Specialist

Need a reliable solution for your drain problem? You can trust us. Whether it’s routine maintenance or a major emergency, our drain-cleaning experts are ready to handle any issue—commercial or residential.

Our hydro-jetting equipment blasts through sludge and debris, emulsifies grease, removes hardened scale, and pulverizes roots, leaving pipes looking and performing like new. Unlike traditional mechanical snaking, which can simply punch a hole through a blockage, hydro-jetting power-washes the interior of your drains for a deeper, longer-lasting clean. That means fewer recurring clogs and a more permanent solution to chronic drain problems.

When to Use a Drain/Sewer Hydro Jetter — Can It Prevent Full Line Replacement?

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to break up years of grease buildup and remove intrusive roots. A multi-directional jetter nozzle delivers 360-degree cleaning inside the pipe, providing a safe, thorough, and effective solution for stubborn clogs and scale. Smith Drain Solutions’ trained, certified technicians handle virtually any obstruction with precision and care. Before replacing your drain or sewer line, call us. High-pressure cleaning often saves you thousands of dollars compared with full line replacement.

Hydro Jetting: A Cleaner, Longer‑Lasting Alternative to Cabling

Many plumbing companies still rely on cabling machines to clear clogged drains. Cabling has been used for decades and, while it can punch through blockages, it often leaves debris clinging to pipe walls. That leftover material such as grease, organic build-up, mineral and scale is a common cause of repeat clogs and ongoing plumbing problems.

Hydro jetting is different and better for customers. Instead of simply creating a hole through the stoppage, hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the entire inside surface of the pipe. The result is a thorough, debris-free clean that removes grease, roots, scale, and sludge rather than pushing it farther down the line. Benefits for you include:

  • Fewer repeat clogs and emergency calls.

  • Improved flow and pipe performance.

  • Reduced odors and healthier drains.

  • A longer effective life for your plumbing system.

At Smith Drain Solutions we offer cabling when it’s appropriate, but we prefer hydro jetting for most residential and commercial drain issues because it solves the root cause — not just the immediate symptom. When you want a reliable, long-lasting fix and the best value for your service dollars, hydro jetting is the clear choice. Let us provide the thorough, professional drain cleaning your property deserves.
