Hydro jetting that scours drain and sewer lines clean
When cabling only opens a temporary path through grease, sludge, scale, or roots, hydro jetting cleans the whole pipe wall and resets the maintenance clock.
Service overview
What hydro jetting actually solves
Cabling cuts a hole through a clog. Hydro jetting cleans the entire inside of the pipe so the line behaves like new. For grease lines, cast iron with scale, and roots in a clay sewer, jetting is the difference between a temporary fix and a real cleaning.
Honest Drain matches nozzle and pressure to the line: a chain or chisel nozzle for scale, a flushing nozzle for grease, and a root-cutting nozzle for clay sewers. After the line is clean, a camera review confirms the job and documents the pipe condition.
What this service covers
- Grease and food-waste lines
- Cast iron with mineral scale
- Clay or PVC sewer with roots
- Recurring clogs that cabling cannot fix
