Hydro jetting cleans a drain or sewer line the way pressure washing cleans a driveway: high-pressure water, delivered through a specialized nozzle, scours buildup off the entire pipe wall and flushes it out of the line. Where a cable machine opens a hole through a clog, jetting removes what the clog was made of.
When jetting is the right call
- Grease-heavy lines — restaurant kitchens, floor drains, and any line where cabling only buys a few weeks
- Years of sludge and scale — lines that have narrowed over time
- Root intrusion — jetting with the right head cuts roots and washes them out (though roots will return until the entry point is fixed)
- Preventive maintenance — scheduled jetting keeps commercial lines flowing and off the emergency list
When it’s not
Jetting is a tool, not a cure-all. If your pipe is broken, badly bellied, or collapsing, jetting cleans a pipe that still needs repair — and on fragile lines it can be the wrong tool entirely. That’s why we’re honest about pairing jetting with a camera inspection when the line’s condition is in question: you should know what you’re paying to clean.

Common questions
What's the difference between jetting and a regular drain machine?
A cable machine cuts a path through a blockage. Jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the entire inside of the pipe — buildup on the walls goes too, not just the clog in the middle. Different problems call for different tools, and we'll tell you which one your line actually needs.
Is jetting safe for my pipes?
On sound pipe, yes — it's water. On old, badly deteriorated pipe, high pressure can be the wrong choice, which is one reason a camera look matters before jetting questionable lines. We don't jet pipe that can't take it.
Is this what restaurants need?
Usually, yes. Grease-heavy kitchen and floor drain lines are exactly what jetting is for, and scheduled jetting keeps them from ever reaching the emergency stage. See our restaurant drain services.
