Some clogs keep coming back because buildup coats the inside of the pipe. Hydro jetting services use high-pressure water to scour the walls clean, removing grease, scale, sludge, and roots for a more thorough result than snaking alone.

Root and Grease Removal
Cuts through the toughest buildup.

Hydro Jetting Services for Stubborn Drain and Sewer Lines
A drain snake can reopen a clog, but it doesn't remove the layer of grease, scale, or sludge clinging to the pipe walls. That residue is why the same line clogs again weeks later. Hydro jetting services clean the entire interior of the pipe with directed high-pressure water.
We use hydro jetting on kitchen lines, main lines, and sewer lines where buildup is the real problem. We always inspect the pipe first to make sure it can handle the pressure.
- Grease and food buildup in kitchen lines
- Scale, sludge, and mineral deposits
- Tree roots in sewer and main lines
- Recurring clogs that snaking can't solve
When Hydro Jetting Is the Right Choice
Jetting works best when the problem is buildup or roots rather than a single foreign object.
Repeat Clogs
When the same line clogs often, buildup is usually the cause.
Kitchen and Grease Lines
Grease coats pipe walls and is best removed with high pressure.
Root Intrusion
Jetting cuts roots inside the pipe and clears the line.
Sludge and Scale
Mineral and sludge buildup narrows pipes over time.
Main Line Maintenance
Periodic jetting helps prevent surprise backups.
After a Camera Check
We confirm the pipe is sound enough for jetting first.
Our Hydro Jetting Process
A careful, camera-guided approach that protects your pipes.
1
Inspect the Line
We camera-inspect the pipe to identify the buildup and confirm it's safe to jet.
2
Jet the Pipe
We feed a high-pressure hose through the line to scour the walls clean.
3
Verify the Result
We re-inspect and test flow, then advise on maintenance or repairs.
Hydro Jetting vs. Drain Snaking
Both methods have a place. The right choice depends on the type of blockage and the condition of the pipe.
- Snaking breaks up or pulls out a single blockage
- Jetting cleans the full pipe wall and removes buildup
- Jetting is more effective for grease, scale, and roots
- We recommend the method that fits your line
If the line is damaged, jetting alone won't fix it. We may recommend sewer line repair or trenchless sewer repair. For routine clearing, see drain cleaning.

Hydro Jetting FAQs
Common questions about high-pressure drain cleaning.
What is hydro jetting?
Hydro jetting uses a specialized hose with high-pressure water jets to scour the inside of a drain or sewer line. It removes grease, scale, sludge, and tree roots while cleaning the pipe walls, not just punching a hole through the clog.
Is hydro jetting safe for my pipes?
When done correctly, hydro jetting is safe for most pipes. We inspect the line and adjust the pressure to match the pipe material and condition, and we do not jet lines that are too weak or badly damaged.
How is hydro jetting different from drain snaking?
A drain snake or auger breaks up or pulls out a blockage, while hydro jetting scours the entire inside of the pipe. That makes jetting more thorough for grease, scale, and recurring clogs. See drain cleaning for comparison.
How often should a drain or sewer line be hydro jetted?
Many homes and businesses benefit from hydro jetting every 12 to 24 months, or sooner for lines prone to grease and root problems. We can recommend a schedule based on your line's condition.
Will hydro jetting damage tree roots or my yard?
Hydro jetting cuts roots inside the pipe but does not harm the surrounding trees or landscaping. For severe root intrusion, we may recommend a camera inspection and follow-up repair.
