When a cable is not enough
A drain cable punches a hole through a blockage. That restores flow, but the grease, scale or sludge on the pipe walls stays put and the line narrows again within weeks. A jetter drives pressurized water out of a rear-facing nozzle, scrubbing the full circumference of the pipe while it pulls itself up the line. For commercial drains that carry heavy daily loads, jetting is often the repair that lasts.
Lines we jet
- Restaurant kitchen branches and grease interceptor outlets
- Building drains and sanitary laterals out to the property line
- Parking garage and loading-dock trench drains
- Floor drains in food plants, car washes and workshops
- Storm lines packed with sand and leaves

Signs a line needs jetting
- The same drain has been cabled more than once this year
- Backups that follow heavy use, such as a weekend rush
- Camera footage showing heavy grease or scale on the walls
- Slow drainage across several fixtures on one branch
How the job is done
- We camera the line first if its condition is unknown
- The right nozzle is chosen for grease, scale or roots
- The line is jetted from the cleanout, working out to the main
- Debris is caught and removed instead of pushed downstream
- A second camera pass confirms the pipe walls are clean
Maintenance schedules
Busy kitchens and buildings with known problem lines often book jetting every few months. Regular cleaning costs less than an emergency call on a Friday night and keeps the line from narrowing back down.

Questions we get on this
Is jetting safe for older pipes?
For sound pipe, yes. We camera older cast iron and clay lines first and adjust pressure, or recommend repair if the pipe is broken.
Can jetting clear tree roots?
Hair-thin roots come out with a rotating cutter head. Large root masses may need a mechanical cutter followed by jetting.
