Hydro Jetting in Oakdale & Surrounding Areas
When conventional drain cleaning methods cannot clear a stubborn blockage, hydro jetting delivers a powerful solution. Jim Meyers Plumbing uses commercial-grade hydro jetting equipment to blast through grease buildup, tree roots, mineral scale, and years of accumulated debris in your sewer and drain lines throughout Oakdale, Robinson Township, and the greater Pittsburgh area.
Hydro jetting uses a specialized nozzle that delivers water at pressures up to 4,000 PSI, scouring the interior walls of your pipes to a like-new condition. Unlike traditional snaking which just punches a hole through the clog, hydro jetting removes the entire buildup, dramatically reducing the likelihood of recurring blockages.
This technique is safe for most pipe materials when performed by experienced professionals. Our team always performs a camera inspection before jetting to assess pipe condition and identify the nature of the blockage, ensuring we use the correct pressure and nozzle type for your specific situation.

- Recurring drain clogs despite previous cleaning
- Multiple drains backing up simultaneously
