Sewer Hydro Jetting Services
YJ Sewer & Drain thoroughly cleans sewer and drain lines using high-pressure water.
When Hydro Jetting Is Needed
Some sewer lines continue to experience drainage issues even after a blockage is cleared. This can happen when grease, sediment, sludge, and other contaminants remain inside the pipe.
Hydro jet drain cleaning may be necessary for:
- Recurring sewer or drain clogs
- Grease-heavy sewer lines
- Significant sediment accumulation
- Sludge and other interior buildup
- Lines where rodding doesn’t fully remove buildup
- Properties with repeated drainage problems
YJ Sewer & Drain can help evaluate the condition of your pipe and determine whether hydro jetting is the right call.
What Hydro Jetting Removes
Hydro jetting can address various contaminants that accumulate inside the sewer and drain lines, including but not limited to:
- Grease and fats
- Sludge
- Sediment
- Mineral scale
- Organic buildup
- Dirt and debris
- Other materials
Simply removing the blockage may not be enough. The line may require high-pressure water to clean the interior and eliminate buildup from the pipe’s walls. Main sewer line jetting is ideal for removing grease, dirt, and mineral deposits.
How Hydro Jetting Works
Our hydro jetting services use specialized equipment to direct high-pressure water through sewer or drain lines. It usually comes with a hose or nozzle.
The water pressure helps loosen grease, sediment, sludge, and other accumulated materials from the pipe walls. Once dislodged, the water then flushes the materials through the line along with the wastewater.
Inspecting the Line Before Jetting
Inspecting the condition of the sewer line is imperative before using high-pressure water. Here at YJ Sewer & Drain, we have a technician examine the line and access point to determine if hydro jetting is the best method for removal.
A camera inspection can help identify cracks, breaks, or collapsed sections within the line. These damages can affect the cleaning approach. From there, our technician makes a recommendation.
Hydro Jetting vs Sewer Rodding
Hydro jetting and sewer rodding both help address sewer and drain problems, but they serve different purposes.
Hydro Jetting
This method uses high-pressure water to clean the interior of the pipe. Additionally, jetting uses water to flush out the blockage, enabling effective removal of sewer buildup.
Sewer Rodding
This method uses mechanical equipment to reach and break through an obstruction. It does not clean the pipe’s walls. Instead, it clears the blockage and restores the flow of water.

What to Expect
YJ Sewer & Drain follows a systematic approach to our sewer jetting services.
Assessment
We begin by evaluating the property’s drainage issues. A qualified technician determines if hydro jetting is appropriate.
Setup
We identify the access point. Once identified, we position the equipment to address the sewer line.
Jetting
Our technician guides a specialized hose and nozzle through the line, where high-pressure water is administered to loosen the buildup. This is flushed down along with wastewater.
Flow Testing
After the high-pressure sewer cleaning, we check the line to confirm that flow has been restored.
Post-Service Findings
Finally, we provide recommendations based on the results of the high-pressure drain cleaning. Additional inspection or maintenance may be necessary to avoid recurring problems or address damage.
