Your Drains Work Like New Again

When traditional drain cleaning fails, hydro jetting gets the job done. You’ll notice the difference immediately—water flows fast, odors disappear, and most importantly, the problem stays solved.

This isn’t another temporary fix. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water streams to scour your pipes completely clean, removing grease buildup, tree roots, mineral deposits, and debris that’s been accumulating for years. The result is pipes that function like they did when they were first installed.

Most customers see their drainage problems eliminated for months or even years after hydro jetting. No more monthly service calls, no more slow drains, no more worrying about backups during your next dinner party.

Our hydro jetting equipment delivers up to 4,000 PSI of cleaning power—enough to cut through the toughest clogs while being safe for your pipes. We’re licensed, insured, and equipped with video inspection technology so you can see exactly what we’re dealing with and verify the results.

Hydro Jetting Drain Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your pipes with a video camera to identify the exact location and nature of the blockage. This tells us what pressure settings to use and helps us spot any pipe damage before we start.

Next, we insert a specialized hose with a high-pressure nozzle into your drain line. The nozzle shoots water in multiple directions—forward to break through clogs and backward to flush debris toward the main line. Water pressure ranges from 1,500 to 4,000 PSI depending on your pipe material and the severity of buildup.

The entire process typically takes 1-3 hours depending on the length of pipe and amount of buildup. We finish with another video inspection to confirm everything is clear and show you the results. You’ll see the difference immediately when you run water—it flows like it should.

Sewer Hydro Jetting Solutions

What's Included in Our Service

Every hydro jetting service includes a complete video inspection before and after cleaning. You’ll see exactly what’s blocking your pipes and verify that it’s completely removed. No guesswork, no wondering if you got your money’s worth.

We handle everything from kitchen sink lines clogged with grease to main sewer lines blocked by tree roots. Our equipment works on pipes from 2 inches to 12 inches in diameter, covering everything in most residential and commercial properties.

You’ll also get an honest assessment of your pipe condition. If we spot cracks, bellies, or other issues during inspection, we’ll explain what needs attention now versus what can wait. We’re not here to sell you services you don’t need, but we won’t leave you with problems that could cause bigger headaches later.

Hydro jetting typically keeps drains clear for 1-2 years or longer, compared to traditional snaking which might last a few months. The difference comes down to thoroughness—snaking pokes a hole through clogs, while hydro jetting removes the entire buildup from pipe walls. For heavily used kitchen drains or lines with grease buildup, you might need service annually. Main sewer lines often stay clear for several years after hydro jetting, especially if tree roots were the main problem.
Yes, when performed by experienced professionals with proper equipment. We always start with a video inspection to check pipe condition and adjust water pressure accordingly. Modern hydro jetting equipment allows precise pressure control—we use lower pressures for older cast iron or clay pipes and higher pressures for newer PVC or ABS lines. If your pipes are severely deteriorated, we’ll recommend repairs before cleaning. The inspection process protects both your pipes and your investment.
Hydro jetting removes virtually any blockage including grease buildup, tree roots, mineral deposits, soap scum, hair clogs, and accumulated debris. It’s particularly effective on problems that snaking can’t handle—like grease coating the entire pipe interior or roots that have grown into joints. The high-pressure water cuts through roots and scours away buildup that’s been accumulating for years. However, hydro jetting won’t fix structural problems like collapsed pipes or major root intrusion through large cracks.
Hydro jetting typically costs more upfront than traditional drain cleaning, but it’s often more economical long-term because results last much longer. Pricing depends on the length of pipe, severity of blockage, and accessibility. Most residential jobs range from a few hundred to several hundred dollars. When you factor in avoiding repeated service calls and preventing major repairs, hydro jetting usually pays for itself. We provide upfront pricing after video inspection so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
No digging required in most cases. Hydro jetting is performed through existing cleanouts, drain openings, or access points in your plumbing system. We typically access main sewer lines through cleanouts in your basement, crawl space, or yard. For kitchen and bathroom drains, we work through the drain opening itself. The only time excavation might be needed is if there are no existing access points or if we discover damaged pipes that need repair. Most hydro jetting jobs are completed without any disruption to your landscaping.
Consider hydro jetting if you’re dealing with recurring clogs, slow drains that keep getting worse, foul odors from drains, or multiple drains backing up simultaneously. These symptoms usually indicate buildup throughout your pipe system rather than a simple localized clog. If you’ve had the same drain problems return within a few months of traditional cleaning, hydro jetting will likely provide a permanent solution. We can determine the best approach after video inspection shows us exactly what’s causing your drainage issues.
