3500 PSI · 8 GPMHydro jetting that actually clears the line.
3,500 PSI, the right nozzle for the job, and a camera in the pipe before and after — included on every job.
What it is.
A hydro 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.
When to jet.
- Recurring clogs on the same line
- Grease-heavy commercial kitchens
- Cast iron mains with scale buildup
- Root intrusion that keeps coming back
- Pre-sale sewer inspections (jet, scope, document)
Process
Scope, estimate, jet, verify.
- 01
Scope in
Push camera first. We review the line, locate the problem, and document it in stills and clips — no need for you to hover over a drain.
- 02
Written estimate
Fixed scope, fixed time estimate, fixed cost. Before the jetter runs.
- 03
Jet
Correct nozzle for the job — flush, root cutter, penetrator. 3,500 PSI, 8 GPM.
- 04
Scope out + invoice
Camera verifies clean pipe. You get the video, the invoice, and the warranty in writing.

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 — we scope first to decide.
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 we scope first and document in writing before jetting any line with an unknown condition.
03 How long does a typical hydro jetting job take?
Residential main lines: 1.5–3 hours. Commercial grease lines: 2–5 hours depending on footage. Most jobs wrap the same visit.
04 Do I need to be home?
For interior work, yes. For exterior cleanouts we can sometimes 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.
