"My kitchen drain was clogging every six months. After the hydrojet, it's been over a year and totally clear. Should have called them sooner."

Professional Hydrojet Drain Cleaning — Residential & Commercial
We use 4,000 PSI high-pressure water to blast grease, roots, and mineral scale completely out of your pipes. Where snaking pokes a hole, hydrojetting cleans the entire line.
What Is Hydrojet Drain Cleaning?
Hydrojetting uses 3,500–4,000 PSI of water through a specialized nozzle to scour the entire inner wall of your drain pipe — removing grease, scale, sludge, and tree roots that snakes simply push past.
1
Camera Inspection
We start with a video inspection to verify the clog type, pipe material, and any damage. No guesswork.
2
Insert Jetter Hose
A high-pressure hose with the right nozzle for your pipe size is fed through your cleanout to the blockage.
3
Pressurize
The water pump delivers 3,500–4,000 PSI, with rear-facing jets propelling the hose forward as forward jets cut the clog.
4
Scour the Pipe Walls
Grease, scale, biofilm, and roots are blasted off the pipe interior and flushed out the line.
5
Verify Clean Pipe
A second camera pass confirms the line is fully open — not just clear at one point like with snaking.
6
Preventive Tips
We tell you what caused the clog and how to delay the next one. Most homes only need this every 18–24 months.
Hydrojetting vs. Snaking — Side-by-Side
Snaking pokes a hole through a clog. Hydrojetting cleans the entire pipe wall. For grease, scale, and recurring clogs, that difference is everything.
| Criteria | Snaking | Hydrojetting |
|---|---|---|
| Removes grease buildup | Limited | Yes — strips pipe walls clean |
| Removes mineral scale | No | Yes |
| Cuts tree roots | Partially | Yes |
| Restores full pipe diameter | No | Yes |
| Typical longevity | 3–6 months | 12–24 months |
| Best for | One isolated clog | Recurring clogs, prevention, commercial |

Frequently Asked Questions About Hydrojet Drain Cleaning
Hydrojet drain cleaning uses pressurized water (3,500–4,000 PSI) delivered through a specialized nozzle to scour the inside of your drain pipes. Unlike a snake that pushes a small hole through a clog, hydrojetting strips the pipe walls clean — removing grease, biofilm, mineral scale, and tree roots — and restores the full inside diameter of the pipe.
For residential drains, hydrojet drain cleaning typically costs $150–$300 for a single drain and $300–$500 for a main sewer line. Commercial jobs range from $300–$800 for standard service and $600–$1,200 for grease trap plus main line. Emergency and after-hours service adds a $75–$150 surcharge. Camera inspection is often included or runs $100–$250 as an add-on.
In most cases yes, but it depends on pipe condition. Cast iron, clay, PVC, and copper pipes in sound condition all handle hydrojetting safely. Orangeburg and severely corroded pipes need a camera inspection first to confirm structural integrity. Our policy is to always run a camera before jetting any older line — if the pipe is failing, no amount of cleaning will fix it and we will tell you that upfront.
Snaking is fine for a single localized clog like a foreign object or a small hair block. Hydrojetting is better for recurring clogs, grease buildup, mineral scale, tree roots, and any commercial line. A snake punches a hole through the clog so water flows again temporarily; hydrojetting cleans the entire pipe wall so the clog does not return next month.
Yes — we dispatch 24/7 for sewage backups, blocked main lines, flooded basements, and other drain emergencies. Most calls receive a tech on-site within 60–90 minutes depending on your location. Emergency and after-hours service includes a modest surcharge, which we disclose before any work begins.
Yes. We use specialized root-cutter nozzles that shear roots flush with the pipe wall, then flush the debris out. This is far more effective than mechanical augers, which often leave root remnants that grow back within months. For severe root intrusion, we recommend a follow-up camera inspection and a maintenance jetting every 12 months until the affected section is repaired or relined.
Yes. Hydrojetting uses only water — no harsh chemicals like sulfuric acid drain cleaners that can corrode pipes, harm aquatic ecosystems, and create hazardous fumes. It is also safe for septic systems and protects municipal water supplies. For homes near sensitive watersheds, hydrojetting is the responsible choice.
Most residential customers need hydrojetting every 18–24 months as preventive maintenance. Homes with recurring clogs, mature tree cover, or older clay/orangeburg pipes should jet annually. Commercial restaurants typically need grease trap and kitchen line jetting every 3–6 months. If you have not had any drain issues, you are likely fine on a 2-year cadence.
