High-Pressure Sewer Cleaning
When Basic Drain Cleaning Is Not Enough
A cable machine can open many blockages, but grease, sludge and buildup may still coat the pipe walls. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to flush that material from suitable drain and sewer lines.
Nozzle choice, water pressure and access depend on the obstruction and the pipe’s condition. Not every line is suitable for jetting.
When Hydro Jetting Helps
Grease, Sludge, Roots & Buildup
High-pressure water can clean stubborn buildup from suitable drain and sewer lines. We evaluate pipe condition and access before recommending hydro jetting.
Grease & Sludge
Kitchen drains and older residential sewer lines can collect grease and sludge that restrict flow and trap debris. Hydro jetting can help flush this buildup from suitable pipes.
Drain Cleaning ServicesRoots & Organic Material
When pipe condition and access allow, appropriate nozzles can help cut and remove root intrusion and organic material from the sewer line.
Main Sewer CleaningRepeat Blockages
Recurring clogs may call for a deeper cleaning along with camera inspection to determine whether roots, pipe damage or poor slope are causing the problem.

How Our Hydro Jetting Process Works
Every drain is different. We evaluate pipe condition and access, use hydro jetting where appropriate, and recommend a sewer camera inspection when it can help verify cleaning or identify damage.
Evaluate the Line
We consider pipe material, condition, available cleanouts and the suspected obstruction. Camera evaluation can be useful before jetting when the line’s condition is uncertain.
Hydro Jet Suitable Lines
Using the appropriate nozzle and water pressure, we help flush grease, sludge, debris and certain root intrusions from drain and sewer lines that can be safely jetted.
Inspect When Needed
Once the line is open, a sewer camera can help verify the cleaning and check for offsets, separated joints, bellies and damage that might lead to future backups.
Optional Whole-Home Upgrade
Whole-Home Drain & Sewer Maintenance
One clogged line may need targeted cleaning. If you want to go further, ask about a broader drain and sewer maintenance plan tailored to your home.
After evaluating access and pipe condition, we can recommend the right combination of main sewer cleaning, selected accessible branch-drain cleaning, and sewer camera inspection or verification where appropriate.
Not every pipe can or should be hydro jetted. Exact services and pricing are determined after assessment.

Beyond the Blockage
When Hydro Jetting Can’t Fix Sewer Damage
Hydro jetting can remove heavy buildup from suitable drain and sewer lines, but it cannot repair broken pipes, separated joints, collapsed sections, or low spots where wastewater collects.
If a sewer camera inspection reveals structural damage, repeated cleaning may only provide temporary relief. Camera inspection and locating can help identify the problem and determine whether sewer line repair or replacement is needed.
Hydro Jetting FAQ
Common Hydro Jetting Questions
Is hydro jetting safe for every pipe?
No. Pipe material, age, condition, access and the suspected defect matter. Older or damaged piping may need camera evaluation before aggressive cleaning, and some lines are not appropriate for hydro jetting.
Is hydro jetting better than a sewer cable?
They solve different problems. A cable is effective for many stoppages, while hydro jetting can be useful when suitable piping has grease, sludge, roots or buildup that needs to be flushed from the pipe wall.
Can you use a sewer camera after hydro jetting?
Yes, when access and pipe conditions allow. A sewer camera inspection can help verify cleaning and identify remaining pipe defects. We’ll confirm whether camera inspection is included in your quote or offered as an additional service.
How much does hydro jetting cost?
The cost depends on the severity of the blockage, pipe condition, available access, and whether additional cleaning or camera inspection is needed. DrainBusters evaluates the problem and provides the recommended service price before work begins.
Will hydro jetting repair a collapsed or damaged sewer?
No. Hydro jetting can clean a suitable line but does not fix breaks, bellies, separated joints or collapsed pipe. A camera inspection can help determine when sewer repair or replacement is needed.
Can hydro jetting clean every drain in my house?
Not every pipe is suitable for hydro jetting. DrainBusters can evaluate whole-home drain and sewer maintenance options, combining appropriate cleaning methods for the main sewer and eligible branch lines. The services included depend on the home’s piping and available access.
