What is going on, and what we do about it
Some buildup does not respond well to an auger. Grease coats a kitchen line like candle wax, scale narrows a pipe from the inside, and sludge settles in a low section. Hydro jetting uses high pressure water to scour the inside of the pipe clean.
It is a strong tool, so it is not right for every pipe. Fragile, already cracked or very old lines need a camera check first. When the line is sound, jetting can restore flow that an auger only poked a hole through, and it leaves less for the next clog to catch on.
When we get a call about hydro jetting, we start with what you are seeing and hearing, not with a guess.
Signs you may need hydro jetting
- Grease-heavy kitchen lines that clog again and again
- Scale or sludge narrowing a drain line
- A commercial-style or high-use kitchen in the home
- An auger cleared a path but flow stayed slow
- A line that needs a full clean before a camera check
How we handle the job
- We check the line condition and access, with a camera check when the pipe age is uncertain.
- We set pressure for that pipe material and size, not a one-size setting.
- We jet the line in sections, flushing debris out through a cleanout.
- We test flow and, when useful, re-check with the camera.
What to expect
| Situation | What usually happens |
|---|---|
| Grease-coated kitchen line | Jetting scours the coating an auger leaves behind |
| Scale or sludge buildup | High pressure water clears the narrowing |
| Fragile or cracked pipe | Camera first, jetting only if the pipe can take it |
Costs vary with access, parts and how far the problem has spread. Call for current details before work starts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is hydro jetting safe for old pipes?
It depends on the pipe. Sound PVC and cast iron usually handle it well, but cracked or thin pipe can be harmed. That is why we check condition first.
How is jetting different from snaking?
Snaking punches a hole through a blockage. Jetting cleans the pipe walls around the full diameter, which helps with grease and scale that snaking leaves behind.
Will jetting fix roots?
Jetting can cut fine roots, but it does not seal the joint they came through. Roots usually need a repair plan after the clean.
Does jetting make a mess inside?
No. Work is done through a cleanout with containment, and debris is flushed out of the line, not into your fixtures.
How long does flow stay good after jetting?
It depends on use and pipe condition. Grease habits matter a lot, so we give you practical tips for the kitchen line after the job.
