Hydro Jetting

Hydro Jetting

High-pressure water blasts grease, sludge, scale and roots off the full pipe wall — the deepest clean available for a drain or sewer line.

Hydro Jetting by Nicks Drain Service in San Diego County

Hydro jetting uses a specialized hose and nozzle to send water through your pipe at high pressure, scouring the entire inside wall clean. Unlike a cable that punches a hole through a clog, jetting removes the buildup completely — grease, soap scale, sludge, sediment and fine roots — and restores the line to its full diameter.

It is the most thorough way to clean a drain or sewer line, and it is especially effective for kitchen lines, restaurants and any pipe that clogs on a recurring schedule.

When hydro jetting is the right call

We recommend jetting when a line has heavy grease or scale buildup, when a drain keeps clogging after cabling, for commercial kitchens and grease-prone lines, and to clean a sewer line before or after a camera inspection so we can see the pipe clearly.

Done safely, with a camera

Water pressure is powerful, so we assess the pipe first — often with a camera — to confirm it can be jetted safely. Fragile or badly deteriorated pipe is handled differently. Pairing jetting with a camera inspection lets us verify the line is truly clean and document its condition afterward.

Answers

Hydro Jetting — FAQs

Is hydro jetting safe for my pipes?
For pipe in sound condition, yes. We inspect the line first — usually with a camera — to confirm its condition before jetting, and choose the correct pressure and nozzle for the situation.
How is jetting different from snaking?
A cable (snake) breaks through a clog to get water flowing again. Hydro jetting scours the entire pipe wall clean, removing the buildup that causes clogs in the first place, so results last longer.
