It is the right tool for lines that keep clogging, restaurant kitchen drains, root-filled sewer laterals and pipes that have lost most of their diameter to buildup. It is not the right tool for every pipe, and we run a camera first so we know which one we are dealing with.
When hydro jetting is the better choice
- A kitchen or restaurant line that clogs again a few months after every snaking
- Grease buildup thick enough that a cable just punches a small hole through it
- Roots that regrow quickly after cutting because the root mass was never removed
- Scale and mineral buildup narrowing cast iron or older drain pipe
- Sludge and silt in a floor drain or storm line that a cable cannot lift out
- A main line that needs to be fully cleaned before a camera inspection or lining
- Commercial drain lines on a recurring maintenance schedule
Hydro jetting services we provide
Residential main line jetting
We access the sewer lateral through a cleanout and jet from the house to the main, removing roots, grease and sludge. The camera afterward shows the pipe wall, not just an open channel.
Kitchen and grease line jetting
Grease coats the pipe in layers that harden over time. Jetting with the right nozzle strips it back to the pipe and flushes it downstream instead of pushing it further in.
Restaurant and commercial jetting
Kitchen lines, floor sinks, grease trap inlets and outlets, restroom stacks and parking lot storm drains. We schedule around service hours and set up recurring visits for lines that clog on a known cycle.
Root removal
A root-cutting jetter nozzle shears roots off at the pipe wall and flushes the fragments out. It clears more of the root mass than a cable, which means longer intervals between visits.
Descaling cast iron drains
Decades of rust scale can close a four-inch cast iron line down to two inches. Jetting removes the scale and restores flow, and it is the necessary first step before a liner can be installed.
Camera inspection before and after
We look before we jet so we know the pipe can take it, and we look afterward so you can see the result and any damage the buildup was hiding.
How a hydro jetting visit works
- 1
Camera first
We run a camera through the line to see what the blockage is, what the pipe is made of and whether it is sound enough for high-pressure water. This protects your pipe and tells us which nozzle to use.
- 2
Firm price for the job
You get one by-the-job price based on what the camera showed. If the pipe turns out to be too fragile to jet, we tell you and quote the right alternative instead.
- 3
Jetting, from the cleanout
The nozzle pulls itself through the pipe with rear-facing jets while forward jets break up the blockage. We make several passes until the return water runs clear.
- 4
Camera after, and a plan
You see the cleaned pipe on the monitor. If the jetting uncovered a crack, offset or belly, we show it to you and explain what to do about it.
