Hydro Jetting Services in Tulsa, OK
When standard drain cleaning isn’t enough, hydro jetting provides the ultimate solution. Green Country Plumbing offers professional hydro jetting services throughout Tulsa, using high-pressure water to completely clear stubborn clogs and clean pipe walls.
What is Hydro Jetting?
Hydro jetting uses specialized equipment to blast high-pressure water (up to 4,000 PSI) through pipes. This powerful stream:
- Removes years of grease and buildup
- Scours pipe walls completely clean
- Cuts through tough clogs
- Clears tree roots from lines
- Restores pipes to like-new condition
When Hydro Jetting is Recommended
- Severe Grease Buildup: Kitchen and restaurant drain lines
- Tree Root Intrusion: Roots growing into sewer lines
- Recurring Clogs: Drains that clog frequently
- Scale and Mineral Deposits: Hard water buildup
- Stubborn Blockages: Clogs resistant to snaking
- Preventive Maintenance: Keep pipes clear long-term
- Pre-Lining Preparation: Clean pipes before trenchless repair
