Coolray uses fixed pricing, so you'll know exactly what the job costs before any work begins.

This is one of the most common questions we hear, and it's a great one. Hydro jetting is safer for pipes than chemical drain cleaners, but older pipes do need extra care. That's why we always start with a camera inspection. It tells us what your pipes are made of, whether there's corrosion or damage, and how much water pressure we can safely use. For fragile materials like clay or heavily corroded cast iron, we adjust the pressure or recommend an alternative method. Hydro jetting is completely safe for sound PVC, cast iron, and most other pipe materials when performed by an experienced professional who takes the time to inspect first. Older infrastructure may need hydro jetting for effective cleaning, but only after proper assessment.

We offer same-day service for most hydro jetting requests. For emergencies like sewer backups or major blockages, our 24/7 emergency response team can get to you fast. Frequent clogs despite clearing efforts signal a need for hydro jetting, and if that's your situation, don't wait. For non-emergency scheduling, we typically book appointments within one to two business days depending on demand.

Snaking uses a cable to punch through a clog, but it usually leaves buildup on the pipe walls. That's why clogs often come back. Hydro jetting work is different because it uses high pressure water to clean the entire interior circumference of the pipe, performing a thorough cleaning that removes grease, roots, scale, and debris. Hydro jetting effectively removes stubborn clogs and buildup that standard plumbing snakes can't handle. Hydro jetting can tackle clogs traditional methods cannot address, and the results tend to last months or even years rather than weeks.

Yes. Hydro jetting is considered eco friendly as it uses only high-pressure water. There are no harsh chemicals involved, nothing that can damage your pipes over time, and no toxic substances entering the wastewater system. It's just the power of pressurized water doing the work. Hydro jetting helps eliminate odor-causing bacteria in pipes as well, leaving your drains smelling clean without chemical treatments.

Hydro jetting is safer for pipes than chemical drain cleaners in both the short and long term. Chemicals can corrode pipe walls over time, especially in older plumbing. They also tend to only partially dissolve clogs, leaving residue behind. Hydro jetting provides long-lasting results for plumbing systems because it fully removes the buildup rather than just eating through part of it. It's the method professional plumbers recommend for any serious or recurring drain problem.
