Hydro Jetting in Columbia, SC
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scrub the inside of a pipe, clearing grease, scale, silt, and roots that an auger only pokes a hole through. Kevin uses professional Milwaukee cordless jetting equipment.
When jetting makes sense
- Grease buildup in kitchen lines, common in restaurants and busy homes.
- Tree roots growing into a sewer line.
- Scale and sludge narrowing a pipe.
- Main lines that clog again soon after being snaked.
Jetting vs. snaking
An auger cuts a path through a clog. Jetting washes the pipe wall, so the line flows the way it should afterward. Jetting is not a fix for a pipe that is cracked, collapsed, or sagging. That is why a camera inspection is the best first step when the cause is unknown.
Jetting and camera together
Jetting a line clear and then running the camera shows you the pipe after cleaning, so you can see whether it is in good shape or needs repair. See our sewer camera inspection page.
Frequently asked questions
Is hydro jetting safe for old pipes?
Not for every pipe. A damaged or fragile line can be hurt by pressure, which is another reason to look at the pipe with a camera first.
Do you jet commercial lines?
Yes, commercial drain and sewer work is among our services.
