Hydro Jetting for Drain and Sewer Lines

Cabling punches a hole through a clog. Hydro jetting scours the pipe wall with high-pressure water so the line runs at full diameter again, which is why it is the right tool for grease, scale, and root intrusion.

01

A line that clogs again within weeks or months

02

Grease-heavy kitchen and restaurant drains

03

Root intrusion at sewer line joints

04

Scale buildup inside older cast iron

05

Slow drainage across multiple fixtures

06

How we work

How a hydro jet service works

  1. 1

    Camera inspection first

    We look at the line before jetting to confirm the pipe can take it and to identify breaks, bellies, or offsets that jetting will not solve.

  2. 2

    Jet the line

    A high-pressure hose with a specialized nozzle is fed through the line, cutting the blockage and washing debris downstream.

  3. 3

    Verify with the camera

    A second pass confirms the pipe wall is clean and shows you exactly what condition the line is in.

The details

Hydro jetting versus cabling

Cabling is faster and cheaper for a single blockage and is often the right choice. Jetting costs more but restores the full pipe diameter, which is what actually stops the cycle of repeat clogs.

Jetting is not appropriate for every pipe. Badly deteriorated cast iron or a collapsed section needs repair, not pressure, and the camera inspection is how we tell.

Why grease lines need jetting, not cabling

Grease coats the pipe wall and hardens. A cable bores a channel through it, water flows again for a while, and the remaining layer catches the next thing that comes down the line. Jetting removes the layer.

That is why restaurants on a jetting schedule have far fewer emergency shutdowns than those calling for a cable each time.

Roots and older Atlanta sewer lines

Clay and cast iron sewer lines in older neighborhoods draw roots into every joint. Jetting clears them, and camera footage shows whether the joint itself needs a spot repair.

Left alone, roots widen the joint until the line fails and the yard has to be opened.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is hydro jetting safe for my pipes?+

For sound pipe, yes. We camera inspect first because severely deteriorated lines need repair instead.

How often should a commercial kitchen be jetted?+

Many kitchens do well on a quarterly or semiannual schedule, depending on volume.

Does jetting remove tree roots?+

Yes, root-cutting nozzles clear roots, though a recurring intrusion also needs the joint repaired.

Is jetting worth the extra cost over cabling?+

When clogs keep returning, yes. For a one-off blockage, cabling is usually enough.
