What it is.
A hydro jetter — also called a water jetter or sewer jetter — is a pressurized-water drain cleaner. Not a snake. A cable pokes through the blockage; a jetter scours the interior walls of the pipe clean — grease, scale, roots, soft blockages, everything. It's the single best tool on the truck for lines that clog more than once.
People search for the same service under different names: hydro jetting, sewer jetting, water jetting, drain jetting, pipe jetting, jet drain cleaning, jet pipe cleaning, sewer line cleaning. Same tool, same 3,500 PSI water, applied to residential mains, commercial grease lines, storm drains, or any pipe that needs the inside walls scoured clean.
What we jet most.
- Residential main line cleanouts — the bread-and-butter call. Slow drains, recurring backups, 3–4″ mains
- Storm drains + catch basins — parking lots, exterior storm lines, downspout drains. Commercial and residential
- Recurring clogs on the same line
- Grease-heavy commercial kitchens
- Cast iron mains with scale buildup
- Root intrusion that keeps coming back

Hydro jetting FAQs
01 What's the difference between snaking and jetting?
A cable (snake) punches a hole through the clog. A jetter uses 3,500 PSI of water to scour the whole inside of the pipe clean. Snaking is right for some jobs, jetting is right for others. The camera scope included on every jet job helps us decide before we open the throttle.
02 Can jetting damage my pipes?
On sound pipe, no. On pre-existing damaged pipe — cracked, offset, bellied, or badly corroded cast iron — jetting can expose what was already failing. That's why every jet job starts with a camera scope of the line at no additional charge — if the pipe isn't sound, we tell you before we start.
03 How long does a typical hydro jetting job take?
Residential main lines: 1.5–3 hours at $300/hr (most wrap around 2 hours, so $600 typical). Storm drains and parking-lot catch basins: 1.5–3 hours. Commercial grease lines: 2–5 hours depending on footage. Billed hourly for time on site. Before + after camera scope is included at no additional charge. Note: bathroom-sink, single-toilet snake work, and light plumbing are on the separate $95/hr rate — see /pricing.
04 Do I need to be home?
For interior work, yes. For exterior cleanouts and storm drains we can usually work from outside access. We'll tell you at booking.
05 Can you jet on a maintenance schedule?
Yes. Restaurants, multifamily, and older commercial buildings benefit from quarterly or semi-annual jetting. We bill at the same $300/hr rate — no "maintenance contract" upcharge.
