What Hydro Jetting Involves
Hydro jetting uses a specialized nozzle to send high-pressure water through your pipes, scouring the interior walls clean of grease, scale, root intrusion, and compacted debris that a standard cable auger typically cannot fully remove. Rather than punching a channel through the blockage, jetting restores the pipe's full interior diameter.
Properties across Apple Valley, MN with older sewer and drain lines, or with a history of grease buildup from heavy kitchen use, are common candidates for jetting when standard cleaning methods have failed to solve a recurring clog problem.
Why Jetting Succeeds Where Other Methods Fall Short
An auger is effective for many clogs, but it tends to bore a channel through the center of a blockage rather than scouring the pipe walls clean, meaning buildup left behind can quickly narrow the line again. Grease in particular tends to re-coat pipe walls after a standard cleaning, leading to clogs returning within weeks or months. Jetting's high-pressure water strips buildup from the entire circumference of the pipe, extending the time before the same problem returns.
How We Perform Hydro Jetting
Initial camera inspection
We inspect the line first to confirm jetting is appropriate for the pipe material and blockage type present.
Access point setup
The jetting hose is fed into the line through an existing cleanout or accessible fixture.
High-pressure clearing
The specialized nozzle works through the line, scouring buildup from the full interior surface of the pipe.
Debris flush
Loosened material is flushed completely out of the line rather than left to settle further down.
Post-jetting camera verification
A final camera pass confirms the line is fully clear along its entire length.
What To Expect
Jetting typically takes 1 to 2 hours for a residential line, longer for commercial or extended sewer runs. You will see clear before-and-after camera footage confirming the results. Because jetting is more thorough than a standard cleaning, many customers go significantly longer before needing service again on the same line.

Frequently Asked Questions
Standard cleaning typically bores through a clog, while jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the entire interior surface of the pipe clean, removing buildup a cable auger leaves behind.
We assess pipe material and condition first, since older or fragile pipes may need adjusted pressure or a different method to avoid unnecessary stress.
Jetting is effective at cutting through and flushing out root intrusion, though if roots have caused structural pipe damage, a repair may also be needed alongside the jetting service.
Most residential jobs take 1 to 2 hours, while longer commercial lines or particularly severe blockages can take additional time to fully clear.
Because jetting clears the full pipe diameter rather than just boring a channel, results generally last significantly longer than a standard auger cleaning, especially for grease-related clogs.
Yes, we service commercial kitchens and larger drain and sewer systems that see heavier use and require more frequent or thorough maintenance.
