Hydro Jetting Services in Utah
What Is Hydro Jetting?
Hydro jetting is a professional drain and sewer cleaning method that uses a specialized nozzle and high-pressure water to blast through blockages and clean the full interior of your pipes. Unlike snaking, which punches a hole through a clog, hydro jetting removes the entire buildup from the pipe walls. That means grease, soap residue, mineral deposits, food particles, and even tree roots get flushed out completely.
The result is a pipe that’s restored to full diameter with smooth, clean walls. This makes it harder for new buildup to form, which means your drains stay clear longer and you’re not calling for service again a few weeks later.
When Hydro Jetting Is the Right Solution
Not every drain problem needs hydro jetting. But when basic methods aren’t cutting it, this is usually the answer. Hydro jetting is the right call when you’re dealing with:
- Recurring clogs that keep coming back after snaking. If the same drain clogs again within weeks, the buildup wasn't fully removed. Hydro jetting cleans the whole line, not just a path through the blockage.
- Heavy grease buildup in kitchen or restaurant drain lines. Grease coats pipe walls and hardens over time. Snaking can break through it, but hydro jetting strips it off completely.
- Tree root intrusion in sewer or drain lines. High-pressure water cuts through roots and flushes them out. We typically pair this with a camera inspection to check for pipe damage.
- Mineral scale and hard water deposits. Utah's hard water creates buildup inside pipes that narrows the diameter over time. Hydro jetting removes the scale and restores full flow.
- Slow drains across multiple fixtures. When the problem is in your main line or a major branch line, hydro jetting clears the entire length of pipe instead of just treating one spot.
- Preventative maintenance for commercial properties. Restaurants and businesses with high drain usage benefit from scheduled hydro jetting to prevent clogs before they cause downtime.
How Our Hydro Jetting Process Works
We don’t just blast water into a pipe and hope for the best. Our process is methodical, and every job starts with understanding what’s actually going on inside the line.
Camera inspection first
Before we start hydro jetting, we run a sewer camera through the line to see the condition of the pipe, the location and type of blockage, and whether there’s any existing damage. This step is important because hydro jetting on a damaged or collapsed pipe can make things worse. The inspection tells us exactly what we’re working with so we can proceed safely and effectively.
High-pressure cleaning
Once we know the line is in good condition, we insert a specialized jetting nozzle and use high-pressure water to clean the pipe from the inside out. The nozzle sprays water in multiple directions, scouring the pipe walls and pushing debris downstream and out of the system. Our equipment produces up to 4,000 PSI of cleaning power, which is enough to cut through grease, roots, scale, and heavy buildup.
Secondary lines and hard-to-reach areas
For smaller or harder-to-access lines, we use a mini-jetter that produces up to 1,500 PSI. This is ideal for secondary lines, kitchen drains, and branch lines where a full-size jetter won’t fit. Same thorough cleaning, just sized for tighter spaces.
Post-cleaning camera inspection
After jetting, we run the camera through the line again to confirm everything is clear, check that there’s no pipe damage, and document the results. If we find anything that needs attention, we’ll walk you through it and recommend next steps. You’ll know exactly what condition your pipes are in before we leave.
Hydro Jetting vs. Drain Snaking
Both methods have their place. The right choice depends on the type of clog, the condition of your pipes, and whether the problem is likely to come back.
Residential and Commercial Hydro Jetting
Hydro jetting isn’t just for emergencies. It’s one of the most effective maintenance tools available for keeping drain and sewer lines clean and functional.

Signs You May Need Hydro Jetting
- You've had the same drain snaked more than once and the clog keeps returning.
- Your kitchen drain is slow no matter what you do, especially in a restaurant or commercial kitchen.
- Multiple drains in your home or building are slow or backing up at the same time.
- You're noticing sewer odors inside your home or around your property
- A camera inspection revealed heavy buildup, grease coating, or root intrusion inside the line
- Your property has older pipes with years of mineral scale narrowing the diameter.
- You've been told your sewer line has root intrusion but you want to avoid excavation.
These are signs that the problem goes beyond a surface-level clog. Hydro jetting addresses the root cause instead of just temporarily restoring flow. Call us at (801) 335-9197 to schedule an assessment.
