• How does hydro jetting work?

Hydro jetting using a high pressure water hose to push debris from pipes. With a specialized nozzle, water is blasted in multiple directions inside the pipe, thus dislodging and removing blockages. The high water pressure is able to break up tough blockages, even tree roots.

• Can hydro jetting clear tree roots?
