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:

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.

Drain Snaking
Best for straightforward, localized clogs like hair, paper, or food buildup. A snake breaks through the blockage and restores flow. It's faster, less expensive, and works well when the problem is a one-time clog in a single fixture. But it doesn't clean the pipe walls, so the buildup that caused the clog is still there.
Hydro Jetting
Best for heavy buildup, grease, roots, mineral scale, and recurring clogs. Hydro jetting doesn't just break through the blockage. It removes everything from the pipe walls, restoring the line to near-original condition. The results last significantly longer because there's nothing left for new debris to cling to.

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.

“Great company… They showed up after short notice. Told me what he was going to do to fix my clog and got it taken care of way faster than I thought. And the price reasonable. To be honest I wouldn’t mind paying a little more, just because of the work ethic.” – Doug Silva

Why Choose Drain Kingz for Hydro Jetting

Signs You May Need Hydro Jetting

If any of these sound familiar, your drains may need more than a basic snaking.

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.

Hydro Jetting FAQ's

How much does hydro jetting cost?
The cost depends on the location and severity of the blockage, the length of pipe being cleaned, and whether the line is accessible or requires additional work to reach. We provide upfront pricing before any work begins. Call us at (801) 335-9197 for an estimate.
Is hydro jetting safe for older pipes?
In most cases, yes. That's why we always run a camera inspection before jetting. If the pipe is damaged, deteriorated, or at risk of failure, we'll let you know and recommend a different approach. We never hydro jet a line without knowing its condition first.
How long do the results last?
Significantly longer than snaking. Because hydro jetting cleans the full pipe wall instead of just punching through a clog, there's nothing left for new buildup to stick to. For most homes, a single hydro jetting service can keep lines clear for years. Commercial properties with heavy grease may benefit from annual or semi-annual service.
Can hydro jetting remove tree roots?
Yes. High-pressure water can cut through roots inside your drain or sewer line. We typically follow up with a camera inspection to check for cracks or damage where roots entered. If the pipe needs repair, we'll walk you through your options.
Do you hydro jet residential and commercial properties?
Yes. We serve homeowners, restaurants, commercial buildings, and property managers. Our equipment handles everything from a single kitchen line to a full commercial sewer system.
What's the difference between your full-size jetter and mini-jetter?
Our full-size jetter produces up to 4,000 PSI and is used for main lines, sewer lines, and larger pipes. Our mini-jetter produces up to 1,500 PSI and is designed for secondary lines, kitchen drains, and smaller pipes where a full-size unit won't fit. Both deliver a thorough, professional clean.
