If you’re a homeowner in Charlotte dealing with stubborn clogs or sluggish drains that just won’t quit, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to face it on your own. At Zoom Drain of Charlotte, we deliver fast, effective, and long-lasting drain solutions, including Zoom Jetting™, our hydro jetting service.
Neighborhoods across Charlotte, from Plaza Midwood to Ballantyne, often see drain issues because of mature tree roots and clay-rich soil that put extra pressure on drain lines. Our team recognizes the unique challenges that local homes and businesses face, making us a dependable choice for targeted solutions in every part of the city.
Whether you’re dealing with grease buildup, tree roots, or layers of debris inside your pipes, our team can clear them all using advanced water jetting methods. We also offer 24/7 help for emergency drain issues—so you can reach us anytime you need support.
What Is Hydro Jetting?
Hydro jetting is a powerful, professional-grade drain cleaning service that uses pressurized water to clear out your pipes completely. Here’s what the process involves:
High-Pressure Water Blast: We use highly pressurized water—up to 4,000 PSI—to break through blockages and clean buildup from pipe walls.
Complete Pipe Cleaning: Unlike snaking, which only opens a small path in a clog, hydro jetting scours the entire pipe, restoring flow and reducing the chance of future blockages.
Safety and Eco-Friendliness: We don’t use harsh chemicals. Hydro jetting keeps your plumbing and the environment safe, making it a responsible choice for your home or business.
This process removes tough buildup like grease, soap, sand, and mineral deposits that occur in Charlotte’s water. Older sections of the city may experience more severe clogs from aging pipes or root invasion, and hydro jetting works well for these conditions.
Continuous use allows grease, soap, hair, and even minerals from Charlotte’s water supply to build up inside your drain lines, which can cause slow drains or blockages.
Even if you clear a blockage with snaking, you may see the problem return. Hydro jetting provides a deep clean that traditional methods can’t match. If you notice repeat clogs, foul odors from drains, or water backing up in multiple fixtures, hydro jetting may be the right choice.
In busy Charlotte kitchens or commercial spaces, grease and food debris collect even faster in pipes. Homes in tree-filled neighborhoods like Myers Park or Dilworth can see more root-related problems, making hydro jetting a smart, preventive investment for property owners.
The Benefits
Hydro jetting gives homeowners peace of mind. Here’s why many prefer this approach:
Thorough Cleaning: It removes even stubborn buildup, like grease, sludge, and tree roots.
Prevents Future Clogs: Clean pipe walls reduce the risk of new debris collecting inside the lines.
Saves Time and Money: This service creates a long-term solution that can reduce ongoing service calls.
Non-Invasive: We don’t need to dig or remove pipes—hydro jetting cleans from an access point inside your property.
Safe for All Drain Types: Our experienced team uses hydro jetting safely on different types of residential and commercial pipes.
Hydro jetting also supports busy restaurants, hotels, and apartment buildings in Charlotte. These properties need fully functioning drains for smooth operations—our service reduces unexpected clogs and keeps your business on track. Hydro jetting avoids harsh chemicals, which fits with Charlotte’s community focus on environmental care.
Our Comprehensive Process
Here’s what you can expect when you contact us:
Initial Video Inspection: We begin with a high-resolution camera inspection to locate the problem, check pipe conditions, and confirm if hydro jetting is the best fit.
Zoom Jetting Service: After we assess the blockage, we use our advanced Zoom Jetting system to clear your pipes using high-pressure water.
Final Inspection and Confirmation: Once we're done, we do a second camera check to make sure your drains run smoothly. You see the results for yourself.
Our technicians minimize disruption to your day by working efficiently and using modern equipment. This approach supports both residential and commercial properties in Charlotte, whether you run a café in Uptown or manage a single-family home. We adjust our hydro jetting service to match different pipe types, ages, and common local challenges, providing a reliable solution for every customer.
Common Questions About Hydro Jetting
Can hydro jetting damage my pipes?
Hydro jetting is safe for most newer and well-maintained pipes, but older, brittle, or already damaged lines may not be suitable for this service. We perform a thorough video inspection to check pipe condition before recommending hydro jetting, ensuring we choose the right solution for your property.
How often should I schedule hydro jetting?
Many Charlotte businesses and busy households find that annual or biannual hydro jetting prevents major blockages and keeps pipes running clear. The frequency depends on usage and what goes down your drains—high-traffic kitchens or locations near tree roots may need more regular attention.
What can hydro jetting remove from my pipes?
This service clears grease, soap, sludge, small root intrusions, and mineral deposits that build up in pipes. It’s highly effective for clearing main lines affected by Charlotte’s tree-lined streets and hard water deposits.
Will I need to vacate my home or business during service?
Most hydro jetting jobs can be completed with minimal disruption, so you usually do not need to leave the property. We coordinate with you to make sure your routine is affected as little as possible during the service appointment.

The guys from Zoom Pipe went above and beyond what I was expecting! They did a great job explaining what they were doing when they were doing it and what the results were. They took the time to point out where the lines were running and where they connected to the main sewer line, helped me locate my home shut-off valve as we just purchased this property, and also took the time to tell me how to fix a couple of my drain problems myself. I feel like they really could’ve taken advantage of my situation and they didn’t. I have a new go-to plumber because they’ve earned my trust with their honesty and hard work and professionalism. Thank you.
