What Sewer Hydro Jetting Is and When It’s Used
The process of hydro jetting starts with a camera inspection. We use the video camera to locate the clog and determine its cause. We then connect a jet head to a long hose and insert it in an existing drain or sewer lateral port. A pump adds air pressure to the water, and the jet's head moves through the pipe. The pressurized water breaks up tree roots, grease and oil, hair, biofilm, mineral deposits, and other obstructions.
Hydro jetting doesn't require any chemicals. It's safe for your pipes, property, and the environment. We can hydro jet your pipes as often as needed. It works on pipes with curves, bends, and changes in diameter.

How Sewer Hydro Jetting Helps Prevent Prevent or Reduce Sewer Repairs
In addition to hydro jetting drains to get rid of or prevent obstructions, we use this process before repairing pipes. The pressurized water removes debris and scours the pipes. This allows us to apply epoxy resin or liners to rehabilitate damaged pipes and sewer lines.
Sewer Hydro Jetting FAQs
How is hydro jetting different from traditional sewer line cleaning?
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to thoroughly clean the inside walls of sewer pipes, while traditional sewer line cleaning methods often rely on mechanical tools that only break through blockages. Hydro jetting removes grease, sludge, and residue, helping reduce the chances of future clogs.
What types of blockages can high pressure sewer jetting remove?
High pressure sewer jetting can remove grease buildup, tree roots, sludge, mineral deposits, and other debris that accumulate inside sewer pipes. The powerful stream of water breaks apart blockages and washes them out of the line, restoring proper wastewater flow.
Is sewer hydro jetting safe for older pipes?
Sewer hydro jetting can be safe for older pipes when performed by trained professionals who evaluate the condition of the sewer line first. A proper sewer camera inspection ensures the pipe can handle the water pressure and helps determine whether hydro jetting is the appropriate cleaning method.
How often should sewer hydro jetting be performed?
The frequency of sewer hydro jetting depends on the condition of the sewer system and how often buildup occurs. Many homes and businesses benefit from hydro jetting every one to two years to maintain clear sewer lines and prevent recurring blockages.
How long does a sewer hydro jetting service typically take?
A sewer hydro jetting service typically takes between one and two hours, depending on the length of the sewer line and the severity of the blockage. Heavier buildup or complex plumbing systems may require additional time to fully clean the pipe.
Can sewer hydro jetting help prepare pipes for trenchless pipe lining?
Yes. Sewer hydro jetting is often used to clean pipes before trenchless pipe lining is installed. Removing grease, roots, and buildup allows the new liner to properly bond to the inside of the pipe. In some cases, trenchless pipe lining can restore a damaged sewer pipe without excavation.
