Hydro-Jetting
To keep pipes clear and in high functioning condition, hire the W. L. Gary Team to clean them with Hydro-jet technology.
Few people think very often about the sewage lines and pipes that are running through buildings and under the streets, until there is a problem. Pipes left unchecked and uncleaned can fill with debris, accumulated grease and scale buildup, or become infested by roots. All of these scenarios can cause backups, or even worse, the deterioration of your pipes. To maintain the maximum flow capacity of a pipeline and prevent extensive rehabilitation work in the future, have your pipes cleaned periodically.
Why should you jet?
All pipe systems are vulnerable to blockages which can result in inconvenient backups or possible financial loss. Hydro-jetting is one of the most efficient ways to clean pipes, even more so than mechanical rodding or cable machines.
Hydro-jetting is performed with a high pressure hose that expels pressurized water that effectively breaks down debris, roots, and other foreign objects and washes them away. The jetter not only alleviates blockages but also cleans all sides of the pipes, even debris that has settled on the bottom. At the completion of hydro-jetting, pipelines are free to flow as designed.
Hydro-jetting versus Cable Machine
Hydro-jetter
Faster
Less labor intensive
Constant pressure and cleaning power throughout pipe
Lightweight and flexible
Safe and practical for a large variety of pipes, including those with difficult access, suspended pipes, and vertical stacks
Cable Machine
Slower
Labor intensive
The farther the cable is in the pipe the greater the reduction of cutting power
Heavy and cumbersome
Unpractical and difficult to clean some pipes, including those with difficult access, suspended pipes, and vertical stacks

Plumbing Tip
Clean Outside Drains
With all the leaves and rain falling this season, be sure to check your outside drains to make sure they are clear of debris, which can cause drains to stop up and flood. It is recommended that you have your drain pipes cleaned annually to remove any sediment or other buildup.
