Hydro Jetting Services
What Is Hydro Jetting?
Hydro jetting is a professional drain and sewer cleaning method that uses controlled high-pressure water to remove grease, sludge, mineral scale, roots, food waste, and debris from inside pipe walls. Unlike basic snaking, which typically opens a path through a blockage, hydro jetting cleans more of the pipe interior and can help address recurring drain and sewer problems.
Total Drain Solutions provides professional hydro jetting services for residential, commercial, restaurant, condo, apartment, and other high-use plumbing systems. Before high-pressure cleaning is used, we may inspect the line with a sewer camera to confirm the pipe condition and determine whether hydro jetting is appropriate.
Service is available through our Florida markets and the Las Vegas-area market in Nevada, including Sarasota and the Tampa Bay region.
How Hydro Jetting Works
When necessary, our technicians begin with a sewer camera inspection to identify the blockage, evaluate the condition of the pipe, and confirm that high-pressure cleaning is appropriate.
A high-pressure hose is inserted into the line and fitted with a specialized nozzle. Water is delivered at controlled pressure based on the pipe diameter, blockage, and condition of the system. Different nozzle configurations can break through obstructions while cleaning buildup from the pipe walls.
The process can remove grease, roots, sludge, scale, sediment, and debris from the line, providing a more thorough cleaning than methods that only open a path through the immediate clog.
Benefits of High-Pressure Pipe Cleaning
Hydro jetting provides a deeper and longer-lasting clean compared to many traditional methods. It can fully clean the pipe interior, remove heavy buildup, clear grease and roots, reduce recurring backups, and help prepare the line before certain trenchless repair options.
Because hydro jetting uses water instead of harsh chemicals, it is also a cleaner option for many residential, commercial, restaurant, and high-use drain systems.
When High-Pressure Drain Cleaning May Help
High-pressure drain cleaning may be appropriate when you're dealing with:
If an inspection reveals structural damage, our team may recommend another solution, such as trenchless pipe lining, CIPP, trenchless sewer repair, or mechanical cleaning, depending on the condition of the pipe.
Commercial Hydro Jetting & Preventive Drain Maintenance
Restaurants, commercial kitchens, condos, apartment buildings, high-rise properties, and other high-use plumbing systems may develop recurring grease, sludge, scale, sediment, and debris buildup. Hydro jetting can be used both to clear these conditions and, when appropriate, as part of a planned drain and sewer maintenance program.
Preventive service frequency depends on system usage, pipe condition, the material entering the drains, and the property's history of backups. Commercial properties with recurring grease or high wastewater volume may require more frequent cleaning than a typical residential system.
Areas We Provide Hydro Jetting Services
Total Drain Solutions provides professional high-pressure pipe cleaning for homes, businesses, restaurants, commercial kitchens, condos, apartment buildings, and high-use plumbing systems across our service areas.
Our hydro jetting service areas include:
Florida
For Florida properties dealing with recurring clogs, grease buildup, slow drains, or sewer backups, our team can inspect the line and recommend the appropriate next step.
Depending on the cause and condition of the line, that may include Sarasota drain cleaning, sewer camera inspection, hydro jetting, or trenchless repair when structural pipe damage is present.
Nevada
In Nevada, our Las Vegas hydro jetting services support homes, restaurants, commercial buildings, high-rise properties, and other plumbing systems dealing with recurring drain or sewer buildup.
For vertical drainage systems and high-rise stack problems, Sovent Cleaning may be a more appropriate service.
When Hydro Jetting May Not Be the Right Choice
Hydro jetting is not appropriate for every drain or sewer line. If a pipe is severely deteriorated, collapsed, structurally damaged, or otherwise unable to safely withstand high-pressure cleaning, another method may be recommended.
This is why Total Drain Solutions may perform a sewer camera inspection before hydro jetting. The inspection helps identify cracks, corrosion, root intrusion, deformation, or other conditions that could require mechanical cleaning, trenchless pipe lining, or sewer repair instead.
Hydro jetting can remove roots and buildup from inside a line, but recurring root intrusion may indicate an underlying pipe defect that cleaning alone will not permanently correct.
Hydro Jetting vs. Snaking: What's the Difference?
Snaking and hydro jetting are both drain-cleaning methods, but they solve different problems. A drain snake or mechanical cable is often effective for localized clogs because it breaks through or removes an obstruction. Hydro jetting uses controlled high-pressure water to clean buildup from a larger portion of the pipe interior.
Hydro jetting may be better suited for:
• Heavy grease and sludge buildup
• Mineral scale and recurring buildup
• Root intrusion where the pipe condition allows jetting
• Cleaning a larger portion of the pipe interior
Snaking may be better suited for:
• Simple or isolated clogs
• Localized obstructions
• Situations where pipe condition makes high-pressure cleaning unsuitable
The right method depends on the location of the blockage, pipe condition, type of buildup, access, and whether the problem is recurring.
What Affects the Cost of Hydro Jetting?
Hydro jetting cost depends on the condition and configuration of the drain or sewer line rather than a single flat price. Factors can include the length and diameter of the line, access to the pipe, severity and type of buildup, whether roots are present, residential versus commercial system complexity, and whether a sewer camera inspection is needed before or after cleaning.
Total Drain Solutions evaluates the system before recommending hydro jetting so the cleaning method and pressure can be matched to the pipe and the problem.

Hydro Jetting FAQs
How long hydro jetting results last depends on pipe condition, system usage, and how quickly grease, scale, roots, or other material returns. Residential systems may only need hydro jetting when recurring problems develop, while restaurants and high-use commercial systems may benefit from scheduled preventive cleaning.
