Hydro Jetting

Some clogs are too stubborn for a standard drain snake. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the inside of the pipe clean, clearing grease, sludge and root intrusion that keep coming back after a regular cleaning.

Common Issues

When Hydro Jetting Helps Most

Grease-Clogged Kitchen Lines

Restaurants and busy kitchens build up grease faster than a snake can keep up with. Jetting strips the pipe clean.

Recurring Main Line Backups

If the same drain clogs every few months, buildup is rebuilding on the pipe walls between visits.

Tree Root Intrusion

Roots seeking moisture can work into small cracks in older sewer lines. Jetting can cut through small intrusions.

Sludge in Older Cast Iron Pipe

Rough interior walls in aging cast iron pipe trap debris. Jetting is often the only thing that truly clears it.

Slow Drains Across Multiple Fixtures

When several drains slow down at once, buildup in a shared line is usually the cause.

Sandy or Silty Buildup

Homes on well water sometimes see sediment collect in drain lines over time.

Prevention

Maintenance Tips to Avoid Bigger Problems

Schedule Routine Jetting

A jetting service every year or two keeps grease and buildup from taking hold in the first place.

Watch What Goes Down the Drain

Grease, coffee grounds and wipes are the most common causes of the buildup jetting has to remove.

Pair It With a Camera Inspection

A quick look inside the pipe first confirms jetting is the right fix for what you are dealing with.

Address Root Intrusion Early

Small root intrusion is far easier to clear than roots that have had years to spread.

Common Questions

Hydro Jetting FAQs

A snake punches a hole through a clog to get water moving again. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the entire inside wall of the pipe, so grease and buildup do not just get pushed further down the line.
