Commercial Hydro Jetting & Cleaning Services that clear what snaking leaves behind.

WHAT IT IS

What commercial hydro jetting actually does to a blocked or scaled pipe.

Commercial hydro jetting uses high-pressure water — typically 3,000 to 4,000 PSI — delivered through a specialized nozzle to cut through grease accumulations, root masses, sediment packs, and mineral scale that snaking cannot remove.

Unlike snaking, which punches a hole through a blockage, hydro jetting cleans the full pipe diameter — removing the grease layer from the pipe wall, cutting roots flush with the joint, and flushing all debris downstream to the cleanout.

LiningWorks commercial jetting equipment handles pipe diameters from 3 inches to 36 inches. Every jetting service is preceded by a camera inspection to confirm the obstruction type, pipe condition, and access points — ensuring the right nozzle configuration and pressure for each system.

WHAT HYDRO JETTING CLEARS

Four obstructions commercial hydro jetting clears that snaking cannot.

Snaking breaks through blockages — hydro jetting removes the material from the pipe wall. These four obstruction types require jetting to permanently clear.

• Grease accumulation on commercial kitchen drain lines

  FOG (fats, oils, and grease) accumulates as a layer on the pipe wall, progressively narrowing flow capacity. Hydro jetting cuts the grease layer from the wall and flushes it clear.
• Root masses at joint gaps in sewer mains

  Roots that have entered through joint gaps form masses that snaking cannot remove. High-pressure jetting cuts the root mass back to the pipe wall and flushes root material downstream.
• Sediment and silt packs in storm drain systems

  Storm drain pipes accumulate sediment over time, especially at low-gradient sections. Hydro jetting mobilizes and flushes sediment packs to restore design flow capacity.
• Mineral scale and calcium deposits in aging pipes

  Hard water scale and calcium deposits build up inside older pipes. High-pressure water cuts through scale buildup that chemical treatments leave behind.

BEFORE & AFTER

Grease-packed kitchen drain line cleared in Uptown Charlotte restaurant.

A 4-inch cast-iron kitchen drain line at an Uptown Charlotte restaurant had reached near-total flow obstruction — recurring backups during service and slow floor drain recovery across all kitchen fixtures. Camera inspection found grease accumulation reducing the pipe bore to approximately 20% of original diameter over a 40-foot run.

LiningWorks performed commercial hydro jetting at 3,500 PSI with a rotating jetting nozzle, clearing the full 40-foot run in under 90 minutes. Post-jetting camera confirmed a clean pipe wall throughout. The restaurant returned to full service the same day.
