Why Boston homeowners call for hydro jetting
Jetting uses water pressure matched to pipe material. It is not a DIY pressure washer in a clean-out.
Jetting is only appropriate in lines that can take the pressure. Triple-deckers and brownstones with lead services and cast-iron stacks; tight boiler rooms in Back Bay and Dorchester.
Recurring buildup usually tracks local conditions. Deep frost and nor’easters freeze uninsulated lines; combined sewers and old laterals back up in coastal storms. Common dispatch ZIPs in Boston include 02108, 02116, 02124, 02128. Nearby codes are covered — call with yours.
A camera after the jet confirms the line is actually clear. Local contractors know which laterals in your city can take jetting.
