Hydro Jetting

For drains that keep clogging, clean the whole pipe.

AccuFlow plumbers hydro jetting a drain line at a commercial property next to an AccuFlow service van

A drain snake punches a hole through a clog. Hydro jetting uses a high-pressure stream of water to scour the entire inside of the pipe, cutting through grease, soap scum, mineral scale and tree roots and flushing it all down the line. AccuFlow provides hydro jetting in Lodi, Acampo and nearby towns for main sewer lines, kitchen lines and commercial grease lines. It is the right tool for drains that clog every few months and for lines with root intrusion. We usually start with a camera inspection to confirm the pipe is sound enough to jet and to see what we are clearing.

Main Sewer Line Jetting

Roots, sludge and buildup scoured out of the line from the cleanout to the street.

Kitchen & Grease Lines

Years of grease cleaned off the pipe walls so kitchen drains stay clear.

Root Cutting & Flushing

Cutter nozzles chew through root masses and flush the debris downstream.

Commercial Line Maintenance

Scheduled jetting for restaurants and multi-unit properties, worked around your hours.

How hydro jetting works

We feed a jetting hose into the line through a cleanout. The nozzle sprays water backward at high pressure, which both pulls the hose forward and scrubs the pipe walls as it goes. Grease, scale and sludge break loose and wash downstream, and cutter nozzles can chew through root masses. Because sewer jetting cleans the full diameter of the pipe instead of opening a channel, a jetted line usually stays clear much longer than one that was only snaked, and it does it with plain water, no chemicals.

Signs your line needs hydro jetting

  • The same drain clogs again within weeks of snaking
  • Multiple drains slow at once
  • Gurgling toilets when other fixtures drain
  • Sewer odor from floor drains or cleanouts
  • Grease backups in a kitchen or restaurant line
  • Roots found during a previous cleaning

Hydro jetting vs. snaking

Snaking is quick and affordable for a single clog, like hair in a shower or a sink trap. Jetting is the better choice when the problem is buildup rather than one blockage: kitchen lines coated in grease, main lines with roots, or any drain that has been snaked more than once in a year. We will recommend the cheaper option when it will work. See drain cleaning for standard clog clearing.

When jetting isn’t the right fix

High-pressure water is safe for pipe in sound condition, but a cracked, collapsed or badly corroded line needs repair, not jetting. That is why the camera goes in first. If we find a broken section, we show you the footage and talk through sewer repair or trenchless replacement before we jet.

Commercial grease lines

Restaurants, food service kitchens and multi-unit properties build up grease fast. Scheduled commercial hydro jetting keeps kitchen lines flowing and cuts down on backups during business hours, and we can schedule around your hours. See commercial plumbing for more.

What affects the cost of hydro jetting

  • Line length and size: a long main line takes longer than a kitchen branch.
  • How much buildup: heavy grease or root growth takes more passes.
  • Access: an existing cleanout, or one that needs to be installed.
  • Camera inspection: before jetting to check the pipe, and after to confirm it is clear.
  • Residential or commercial: grease lines and larger pipe add time.

What customers say

★★★★★

After having a very positive experience with this company over a year ago, I called them to fix a clog in the line heading out to the sewer. Mike came out and fixed the problem immediately and the price was more than reasonable. Great communications and exceptional customer service.

Common Questions

Hydro Jetting FAQs.

Quick answers before you call.

See all FAQs →
For pipes in sound condition, yes. That is why we inspect with a camera first. Badly cracked or collapsed pipe needs repair, not jetting.
Snaking opens a path through the clog. Jetting cleans the full diameter of the pipe, so the clog is less likely to come back.
Most residential lines take one to three hours, including the camera inspection.
For most homes, only when there is a problem. Lines near mature trees or with heavy kitchen use may benefit from jetting every one to two years, and restaurants often need it more often.
It cuts and flushes out the roots inside the pipe, but roots grow back through the same cracked joints. Jetting buys time; repairing or replacing the damaged section is the permanent fix.
Yes. We jet kitchen and grease lines for restaurants and commercial properties and can schedule the work around your business hours.
