The jetting hose is fed from the cleanout into the drain line. High-pressure water scours the pipe wall, cutting through roots, grease, and scale.
Loosened material is flushed through to the municipal connection — we verify it clears completely and doesn't create a secondary blockage.
We re-camera the line to confirm it's fully clear and document the clean condition for your records.

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water (up to 4,000 PSI) delivered through a specialized nozzle to scour the entire interior of a drain pipe — removing grease, scale, mineral buildup, and cutting through root masses. Snaking punches a hole through a clog; jetting cleans the pipe wall completely.
Hydro jetting typically runs $300–$700 depending on line length and severity of buildup. Main-line jetting on roots or heavy grease is on the higher end. Flat-rate quoted after camera inspection confirms jetting is the right solution.
Yes — cutting nozzles on the jetting head slice through root masses and flush the debris downstream. It doesn't prevent regrowth, but combined with a follow-up camera inspection, it clears the line completely for 1–2 seasons before root cutting is needed again.
Hydro jetting is recommended for: recurring drain clogs (snaking provides only temporary relief), grease-buildup lines in kitchens or restaurants, main-line root intrusion, and scale buildup in older cast-iron lines. A camera inspection first confirms it's appropriate.
