Hydrojetting
High-pressure water \u2014 up to 4,000 PSI \u2014 that scours grease, roots, and sludge off pipe walls, not just punches a hole through them.
About this service
Cabling a drain punches a hole through a clog so water flows again. Hydrojetting actually cleans the pipe wall — grease films, root hair, mineral scale, all of it — so you're not looking at the same clog six months later.
It's the right tool when you've had recurring backups, when a camera survey shows a coated line, or when a kitchen main is finally showing the last two decades of grease. We run 1.5" to 6" nozzles with rotating heads and adjust the pressure to what the pipe can handle safely.
Every jet job includes a camera pass afterward so you can see the pipe wall you paid to clean.
When jetting is the right call
- Recurring kitchen or main-line clogs — grease coating the walls
- Root intrusion in older clay or Orangeburg lines
- Mineral scale in cast-iron drains from decades of use
- Before-and-after camera footage included
- Pressure and nozzle sized to protect fragile pipe

Questions about hydrojetting.
In most cases yes — we start with lower pressure and read the pipe's condition on camera first. If a section is too fragile, we'll tell you and recommend a repair instead.
Snaking clears an opening. Jetting scours the pipe wall. Jetting is more thorough — and more expensive — but lasts much longer for grease and roots.
A typical residential main line takes 60–90 minutes including the camera confirmation.
