Hydro-Jetting Services

High-pressure water that scrubs your pipe walls back to full diameter. The deep clean a cable can't deliver — for grease, scale, and roots that keep coming back.

Snaking a drain punches a hole through a clog. Hydro-jetting blasts the entire pipe wall clean. There's a real difference, and once you've seen it, you understand why we recommend jetting for stubborn lines.

Our jetters push water through specialized nozzles at 3,500–4,000 PSI, with rear-facing jets that pull the head forward through the pipe while forward jets cut through the obstruction. The result: roots sliced clean, grease emulsified and flushed, scale chipped off — and a pipe that flows like it was new.

It's the right call when you've snaked the same line twice in a year, when a camera shows heavy buildup, or when you have a commercial kitchen line that needs to stay clear.

Why It Matters

Restores Full DiameterNot just clearing the clog — restoring the original pipe size all the way through.
Cuts Through RootsHigh-pressure water slices through fine root intrusions other tools can't touch.
Dissolves GreaseEmulsifies grease and flushes it out — a cable just leaves it on the walls.
Long-LastingProperly jetted lines often go years before any maintenance is needed again.
Safe For Most PipesWe adjust pressure for the pipe material — cast iron, PVC, ABS, even older clay (when sound).
Pairs With CameraWe camera-scope before and after so you see the proof — clean from end to end.

How We Do It

Camera-Scope First

We start with a quick camera inspection so we can confirm jetting is safe and identify any breaks or fragile spots before we apply pressure.

Pick The Right Nozzle

Different jobs need different heads. A penetrator nozzle for a fully blocked line, a chain knocker for serious roots, a flusher for scale and grease.

Set Pressure For The Pipe

We dial in pressure based on pipe material and condition. Aggressive enough to clean, gentle enough to protect the pipe.

Jet From The Cleanout

We run the jetter line from the most accessible cleanout, working downstream so debris flushes out instead of getting compacted.

Re-Camera To Confirm

After jetting, we run the camera again so you see — on screen — that the line is clean from cleanout to city tap.

When Hydro-Jetting Is The Right Call

  • Recurring clogs on the same line — a clear sign of buildup that snaking won't permanently fix.
  • Kitchen drain lines with grease buildup — restaurants and busy households both.
  • Main sewer lines with light to moderate root intrusion.
  • Cast iron pipes with scale buildup narrowing the pipe.
  • Storm and yard drains packed with mud, sand, and Florida debris.
  • Commercial lines where downtime is expensive and the line has to stay clear.

When We Don't Recommend Jetting

We're honest about when jetting isn't the right tool. If your camera inspection shows:

  • A broken or collapsed pipe — jetting won't fix that. You need a repair or replacement.
  • Severe root intrusion with offset joints — jetting can clear the roots but they'll come back fast through the gap. Permanent fix is repair.
  • Orangeburg pipe — too fragile for high-pressure jetting in most cases.
  • Heavy belly (sag) — jetting clears the line but the sag will keep collecting waste. Fix is to repair the belly.

If we don't think jetting is right for you, we'll tell you that and explain why. That's the family-owned difference.

Common Questions

FAQs

How is hydro-jetting different from snaking?
Snaking pushes a metal cable through a clog to break it open. Jetting uses high-pressure water (3,500+ PSI) to scrub the entire pipe wall clean. Snaking is faster and cheaper for one-time clogs; jetting is the long-term fix for buildup and roots.
Will hydro-jetting damage my pipes?
Not when it's done right. We adjust pressure and nozzle choice based on the pipe material and condition — and we always camera-scope first. We won't jet a pipe we don't think can handle it.
How long does hydro-jetting last?
Properly jetted residential sewer lines often go 3–5 years between cleanings, sometimes much longer. Restaurants and high-grease lines often run on a 6–12 month schedule.
Can hydro-jetting clear tree roots?
Yes — a chain knocker or root cutter nozzle can shred fine to medium roots completely. For heavy roots through a broken joint, we'll show you on camera why a repair is the more permanent solution.
How long does the service take?
A residential main sewer jetting typically takes 1–2 hours including camera work. Restaurant and commercial jobs vary based on line length and condition.
