How much does sewer jetting cost?

Cost depends on the length and condition of the sewer line and the severity of the blockage. A technician will assess the situation and provide a clear price before any work begins. No hidden fees.

How often should sewer lines be jetted?

For residential properties, we recommend jetting every two to three years as preventive maintenance. Commercial kitchens and restaurants benefit from annual or semi-annual jetting to prevent grease buildup from causing backups during business hours.

Can jetting remove tree roots?

Yes. High-pressure jetting cuts through tree roots that have grown into sewer pipe joints. However, if roots have caused structural damage to the pipe, repair or replacement may be needed after the roots are cleared.

Is jetting better than snaking?

Jetting is more thorough. A snake punches a hole through a blockage but leaves buildup on the pipe walls. Jetting scours the entire pipe interior clean. For recurring blockages, jetting provides a longer-lasting solution.

What is sewer jetting?

Sewer jetting uses high-pressure water to blast through blockages and clean the interior walls of your sewer pipes. A specialized nozzle attached to a high-pressure hose is inserted into the sewer line through a cleanout access point. Water pressure ranging from 3,000 to 4,000 PSI scours the pipe walls clean, removing grease buildup, tree root intrusions, mineral scale, and years of accumulated debris. The result is a pipe that flows like new.

Unlike mechanical snaking that punches a hole through the blockage, jetting cleans the entire pipe diameter. This means the blockage does not return in a few weeks. Jetting is the most thorough drain cleaning method available and is the standard for commercial kitchens, restaurants, and properties with recurring drain problems..

When do you need sewer jetting?

Recurring drain backups are the most common reason to call for sewer jetting. If you have snaked the same line multiple times and the problem keeps returning, grease or scale buildup on the pipe walls is the likely cause. A snake clears a path through the blockage but leaves the buildup on the walls. It reforms quickly. Jetting removes all of it.

Slow drains throughout the house often indicate a main sewer line restriction. Tree roots growing into pipe joints, shifted pipe sections from settling soil, and grease accumulation from years of kitchen use all restrict flow. Jetting restores full flow capacity. Before relining or replacing a sewer line, jetting prepares the pipe surface for inspection and repair. A clean pipe allows camera inspection to accurately assess the condition and identify the best repair approach..

Is sewer jetting safe for all pipe types?

Sewer jetting is safe for PVC, cast iron, clay, and concrete sewer pipes when performed by trained technicians with proper equipment. We adjust the water pressure based on the pipe material, diameter, and condition. Older clay pipes and deteriorated cast iron require lower pressure settings to avoid damage. Our technicians assess the pipe condition with a camera inspection before jetting when there is any concern about pipe integrity.

We do not blindly blast water into a pipe without knowing its condition first. That approach damages already-weakened pipes. Our method is inspect first, then clean at the appropriate pressure for the specific pipe material and condition we find..
