When snaking fails and chemical cleaners damage your pipes, hydro jetting gets the job done right. You’ll have completely clean pipes—not just a temporary hole punched through the clog.
This means no more slow drains backing up during dinner prep. No more calling for emergency service when guests are coming over. No more wondering if this fix will actually last.
The high-pressure water scours every inch of your pipe walls, removing grease, soap scum, tree roots, and years of debris that traditional methods leave behind. You get pipes that flow like new because they’re actually clean.
Murray Plumbing has been solving Herald’s toughest drain problems for over 24 years. We’re the local plumbing company your neighbors call when other methods haven’t worked.
As a family-owned business with low overhead, we keep our prices fair while delivering the kind of service that earns 5-star reviews. We know Herald properties inside and out—from older homes with clay pipes that attract tree roots to newer builds with PVC systems that collect grease buildup.
Our 24/7 emergency service means we’re here when you need us most, not just during business hours. Because drain backups don’t wait for convenient times.
First, we inspect your pipes with a video camera to locate the exact blockage and make sure your pipes can handle the pressure. This step prevents damage and ensures we’re using the right approach for your specific situation.
Next, we insert a specialized high-pressure hose into your drain line. The nozzle releases water in all directions at up to 4,000 PSI—powerful enough to cut through tree roots but safe for your pipes when properly controlled.
The pressurized water scrapes debris off your pipe walls and flushes everything out completely. Unlike snaking that just pokes through clogs, you’re left with pipes that are actually clean from wall to wall.

Every hydro jetting service includes a pre-inspection camera check to assess your pipes and locate the exact problem. We adjust water pressure based on your specific pipe material and condition—not a one-size-fits-all approach.
In Herald’s older neighborhoods, we often see clay pipes with root intrusion from mature trees and cast iron lines with decades of grease buildup. Our equipment handles both safely and effectively because we understand local plumbing challenges.
You’ll also get a post-service camera inspection to confirm the blockage is completely cleared. We don’t consider the job done until water flows freely through your entire system and you can see the results yourself.
Hydro jetting typically costs between $350-$600 for most residential jobs in Herald. The final price depends on the severity of your blockage and how accessible your pipes are through existing cleanouts.
Simple clogs near the cleanout cost less, while extensive root intrusion or deep blockages require more time and specialized equipment. We always provide upfront pricing before starting work—no surprises.
Unlike snaking that only creates a temporary hole, hydro jetting completely cleans your pipes, so you get better long-term value despite the higher upfront cost. Most customers find they need service far less frequently.
Yes, when performed by professionals with proper equipment and experience. We always start with a camera inspection to check your pipe condition before applying any pressure.
Herald has many older homes with clay, cast iron, and early PVC pipes that require different pressure settings. Our experienced technicians adjust pressure levels based on your specific pipe material, age, and current condition.
If we find compromised pipes during inspection, we’ll recommend alternative cleaning methods or repairs before proceeding. Your pipe integrity comes first—aggressive cleaning on weak pipes creates bigger problems.
Most Herald homeowners benefit from hydro jetting every 2-3 years as preventive maintenance. However, frequency depends on your usage patterns and Herald’s specific environmental conditions.
Homes with mature trees nearby may need annual service due to root intrusion through pipe joints. Properties with heavy grease usage, older pipes, or large families might require more frequent cleaning to prevent backups.
If you’re dealing with recurring slow drains, gurgling sounds, or frequent backups, it’s time for hydro jetting regardless of when you last had service. These are signs that buildup has returned.
Hydro jetting clears grease buildup, soap scum accumulation, mineral deposits, and tree root intrusion that snaking simply pushes aside or breaks through temporarily.
Snaking only creates a hole through blockages, leaving most debris stuck to pipe walls where it quickly rebuilds. Hydro jetting removes everything, restoring full pipe diameter and maximum flow capacity.
It’s particularly effective for Herald homes with kitchen drain issues where years of grease have hardened along pipe walls, or bathroom lines where soap and hair have created stubborn buildup that snakes can’t reach.
No, hydro jetting is completely trenchless and non-invasive. We access your pipes through existing cleanouts or drain openings—no digging, excavation, or property disruption required.
The process uses only water pressure inside your existing pipes, so there’s no impact on your yard, driveway, landscaping, or hardscaping. We work from above ground using specialized equipment designed for this purpose.
After service, you’ll have no mess to clean up, no holes to fill, and no property restoration needed. Your landscaping and outdoor spaces stay exactly as they were before we arrived.
Most residential hydro jetting jobs in Herald take 1-3 hours from start to finish, depending on the extent of blockage and length of your pipe system.
We start with camera inspection to assess the situation, then perform the actual jetting, followed by a final camera check to confirm complete clearing. Simple clogs near the cleanout clear quickly, while extensive root systems or multiple blockages take longer.
We’ll give you an accurate timeframe estimate after our initial inspection, and we work efficiently to minimize disruption to your day while ensuring thorough results.
