Hydro Jetting

Why Should You Hydro Jet Your Downspout Drains?

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to break apart and flush debris from your downspout drain. The powerful stream clears accumulated material and cleans the pipe’s interior walls, helping restore its drainage capacity.

This thorough cleaning method can remove:

• Leaves and pine needles
• Shingle silt
• Dirt and mud
• Sediment and mineral buildup
• Roots
• Other accumulated debris

Hydro jetting is especially useful for underground downspout drains, where much of the line is buried and difficult to access directly. With hydro jetting, we can access and clear these underground drain lines from above ground without digging up your lawn or landscaping to reach the affected area.

Hydro Jetting vs. Drain Snaking: What’s the Difference?

Drain snaking can be useful for breaking through a blockage, but creating a small opening doesn’t necessarily remove everything inside the pipe. Buildup may remain along the pipe walls, leaving less room for water to flow.

Hydro jetting takes a more comprehensive approach, breaking apart the blockage, loosening buildup on the pipe walls, and flushing everything out of the line. The result is a more thorough cleaning that helps restore the drain’s full flow rather than simply opening a passage through the clog.

What Can Downspout Drain Cleaning Help Prevent?

Your downspouts are designed to move rainwater away from your home. When a drain becomes clogged or restricted, that water may no longer flow where it should. Keeping your downspout drains clear can help reduce the risk of water-related problems around your property.

Effective downspout drainage can help prevent:

• Basement and crawlspace flooding
• Foundation cracking
• Soil erosion
• Landscaping damage
• Overflow caused by restricted drainage
