When hydro jetting makes sense
- Kitchen and restaurant lines coated with hardened grease
- Heavy sludge, silt or debris accumulation in a main line
- Clogs that keep returning within weeks of being cabled
- Commercial drain cleaning where volume of use is high
- Sewer cleaning ahead of a camera inspection or pipe lining
- Scale build-up narrowing an older line
When it is not the right method
Hydro jetting is not appropriate for every pipe. Older clay, deteriorated cast iron, Orangeburg and pipe with existing cracks or collapsed sections can be damaged by high pressure. Poorly supported or badly corroded lines should be assessed first.
That is why we camera the line before jetting when there is any doubt about pipe material or condition. If jetting is not suitable, cabling, spot repair or lining may be the better recommendation — and we will say so.
How the service works
- Inspect the line, confirm pipe material and condition, and locate a suitable access point
- Select the nozzle and pressure appropriate to the pipe and the type of build-up
- Feed the jetter hose upstream, cleaning back toward the access as it is withdrawn
- Flush the debris through and confirm free flow
- Re-camera where useful to verify the pipe wall is clean and check for defects that were hidden under the build-up
Jetting versus drain snaking
Snaking is fast, effective on hair mats and roots, and often all a single fixture drain needs. Jetting removes the coating that keeps the clog coming back, which matters most in kitchen and commercial lines.
Many jobs use both: the cable opens the blockage, the jetter cleans what remains behind on the pipe wall.
