Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour grease, scale, sludge and roots out of a drain or sewer line. It costs more than a basic snake because it actually cleans the pipe wall instead of punching a hole through the clog.
What affects hydro jetting cost
- Line size and length: a kitchen branch line vs the main sewer
- Access: whether there is a usable cleanout, or one has to be added
- What is in the line: grease, scale, heavy roots or debris
- Camera inspection: often recommended before jetting older pipe, and after to confirm the result
- Timing: after-hours emergencies vs scheduled visits
When jetting is worth it
Repeat clogs, slow drains throughout the house, restaurant-style grease buildup or root intrusion. It is not the right tool for broken, collapsed or Orangeburg pipe, where jetting can make damage worse. That is why we look first.
