We Remove Roots With Hydro Jetting

Safe, Powerful, and Long-Lasting Drain Solutions

Tree root intrusion is one of the most common and destructive causes of clogged sewer and drain lines in Southwest Florida. With our warm climate, fast-growing trees, and aging underground pipes, roots naturally seek out moisture — and even the smallest crack in a drain pipe can become an entry point.

At SWFL 24 Rooter and Drain, we specialize in professional root removal using high-pressure hydro jetting, the most effective and pipe-safe solution available today.

Why Hydro Jetting Is the Best Solution for Root Removal

Traditional drain snakes and cutting tools can temporarily punch holes through roots, but they do not fully remove them. Hydro jetting, on the other hand, uses high-pressure water (often 3,000–4,000+ PSI) to completely scour the inside of the pipe.

Benefits of Hydro Jetting for Root Removal:

• Removes roots completely, not just a small opening
• Cleans the entire pipe wall, eliminating debris and buildup
• Prevents rapid regrowth by removing root hair remnants
• Safe for most modern sewer lines when performed professionally
• No harsh chemicals — environmentally friendly

Hydro jetting restores your pipe to near-original condition, improving flow and extending the life of your plumbing system.

Our Professional Root Removal Process

At SWFL 24 Rooter and Drain, we follow a thorough, professional approach:

1. Video Camera Inspection
   We inspect the line to confirm root intrusion, identify pipe material, and determine the safest pressure settings.
2. Targeted Hydro Jetting
   Using specialized root-cutting jetter heads, we remove thick root masses and fine root hairs throughout the line.
3. Final Flush & Verification
   The line is fully flushed, and flow is restored. In many cases, a follow-up camera inspection confirms complete root removal.
4. Preventative Recommendations
   We advise on maintenance schedules, root deterrents, or pipe repair options if structural issues are found.
