A pressure wash for the inside of your pipes
A drain snake pokes a hole through a clog. Hydro jetting is a different philosophy: high-pressure water that scours the entire inside wall of the pipe — grease, soap scale, sediment and invading roots all washed downstream, leaving the pipe as close to new as it gets without replacing it. When a line clogs again and again, jetting is usually the cure.
Where jetting shines
- Kitchen lines coated with years of grease no snake can remove
- Main sewer lines with root intrusion — see also root invasion
- Scale and sediment buildup in older pipes
- Restaurant-grade problems in residential pipes — heavy-use households, multi-unit homes
- Preventive cleaning before problems start, especially in known trouble lines
Camera-checked, before and after
Old clay and cast-iron pipes deserve respect: before we jet, a camera inspection confirms the line is sound enough to take it. If the pipe is too far gone, we tell you that instead of jetting a pipe that needs repair or replacement — jetting a broken pipe helps nobody. After the jet, the camera proves the result: you see the clean pipe with your own eyes.
How long does it last?
Because jetting removes buildup rather than piercing it, results are measured in years, not months. Homes that used to book a clog call every winter typically go quiet after a proper jet. For chronic grease lines, a scheduled preventive jetting every couple of years costs far less than one emergency backup.
