Hydrojetting
When a snake won't cut it — literally.
A drain cable cuts a hole through a clog. A hydrojet uses 4,000 PSI of high-pressure water to scour the entire inside wall of the pipe — removing grease buildup, scale, root mass, and debris that a cable would just punch through. The result is a line that’s not just flowing, but actually clean.
We start every hydrojet job with a camera so you know what we’re up against, and we run the camera again at the end to verify. The job is done when the pipe is restored — not when the water starts moving.
- Camera-verified work We don't guess — we look. Every sewer job starts with a camera in the line.
- Stocked trucks Cables, jetters, locators, and CIPP tools on board for one-trip repairs.
- Flat-rate quotes Approved before any work — never charged by the hour.
- Warrantied work 1-year labor warranty plus full manufacturer parts coverage.
When to Hydrojet
Hydrojetting solves the clogs cabling can't
A cable is the right tool for some clogs and the wrong tool for others. Hydrojetting is the answer when:
-
Recurring clogs after cabling
If a snake clears it but the same drain re-clogs in weeks, the underlying buildup is still there.
-
Root intrusion
A jetter cuts and flushes root masses that a cable just punches a hole through.
-
Grease-laden kitchen lines
Hardened grease coats the pipe wall — a cable opens a path, jetting actually removes it.
-
Mineral scale buildup
Old cast-iron sewer lines accumulate scale that restricts flow and traps debris.
-
Multiple-fixture slow drains
When the whole house drains slowly, the main line needs scouring — not snaking.
-
Pre-CIPP cleaning
Before lining a sewer pipe, the host pipe has to be perfectly clean — that's a hydrojet job.
What Hydrojetting Clears
Every clog cabling can't fix permanently
Different jet heads handle different blockages. Our trucks carry the full set so we use the right tool for the job.
- Grease in kitchen lines Restaurant-grade jetting for hardened grease that cabling won't fully remove.
- Root masses Specialized root-cutting jet heads sever and flush root intrusions.
- Mineral scale Cast-iron pipe scale stripped from the inside wall.
- Soap scum & sludge Bathroom and laundry-line buildup cleared without harsh chemicals.
- Lint and fibers Laundry standpipe and floor-drain lint blockages.
- Main sewer cleaning House-to-municipal-tap main line scouring for full-flow restoration.
- Pre-CIPP cleaning Required step before lining — host pipe has to be completely clean.
- Camera verification Camera before and after so you can see the difference.

Hydrojetting — Frequently Asked Questions
Is hydrojetting safe for old pipes?
Yes — when done right. We camera-inspect the line first to confirm it’s structurally sound. Cracked or collapsed pipe needs repair before jetting. For intact-but-dirty pipe, jetting is gentler than mechanical cutting because there’s no metal contact with the pipe wall.
How is jetting different from snaking?
A snake cuts a hole through the clog so water flows. A jetter blasts the entire pipe wall clean with high-pressure water. Snaking is fast and effective for one-time clogs. Jetting is the right call when buildup keeps coming back, when grease or roots are involved, or when you need the line clean for lining.
How often should a sewer line be jetted?
For most homes, never — unless there’s a problem. For homes with mature trees over the line, recurring grease buildup, or older cast-iron sewer pipe, an annual or every-2-year jetting is a smart preventive measure. Care Club members can add it to their plan.
How much water does it use?
A typical residential jetter uses 4–8 gallons per minute at 4,000 PSI for the duration of the job — usually 30–60 minutes. The water comes from your hose bib and goes back into the sewer along with the debris being cleared. We confirm proper drainage before starting.
Will it damage my landscaping?
No. The jetter operates entirely inside the pipe via an existing cleanout. There’s no excavation, no trenching, and no surface disruption. The truck-mounted unit stays at the curb.
Is the work warrantied?
Yes. Hydrojetting includes a 1-year Mainstream labor warranty on the line we cleared. If the same buildup re-clogs from the same cause within the warranty period, we come back at no charge.
