WHAT IT IS

What hydro jetting actually does inside your pipe.

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water — delivered through a specialized nozzle at up to 4,000 PSI — to scour the interior walls of a sewer pipe. Unlike a snake, which punches a hole through a blockage, hydro jetting removes the blockage material entirely and cleans the pipe wall back to near-original bore.

Grease accumulations, mineral scale, silt deposits, and soft root intrusions that have built up over years are stripped from the wall in a single pass. The nozzle sprays forward to cut through blockages and backward to flush debris down the line and away from the property.

Hydro jetting is also the required pre-treatment before CIPP pipe lining. The liner must bond to a clean pipe wall — any debris, scale, or organic material left behind can cause voids in the liner adhesion. LiningWorks always jets before any lining installation.

Every hydro jetting service begins with a camera inspection so we know what we're cleaning — material type, blockage location, and pipe condition — before any pressure is applied. We don't jet pipes that are too fragile to handle the pressure.

CATCH PROBLEMS EARLY

Drain and sewer problems hydro jetting eliminates.

These are the four conditions that hydro jetting resolves completely — not temporarily. If your drain has one of these, snaking will keep it open for weeks; hydro jetting keeps it open indefinitely.

  • Grease buildup that recurs within weeks of snaking
    Grease coats the pipe wall — snaking punches through it but leaves the coating. Hydro jetting strips the wall clean, eliminating the surface grease returns to.
  • Mineral scale narrowing the pipe bore progressively
    Hard water deposits calcify on cast iron and older pipes. Hydro jetting removes the scale layer and restores near-full diameter in one pass.
  • Silt and debris compacted in low-sloped drain lines
    Flat or low-slope runs trap sediment. Hydro jetting's backward-spray nozzle flushes compacted material fully out of the line.
  • Soft root masses blocking the line between hard joints
    Fine root webs and soft root masses in the pipe bore are flushed clear by hydro jetting — though cracks and joint gaps that let them in require lining to seal permanently.

HOW THE SERVICE WORKS

How our hydro jetting service works, step by step.

A LiningWorks hydro jetting service is a fast, typically two-hour visit for most residential drain lines. Camera before, jet, camera after — done.

1. Camera inspection confirms what we're jetting and pipe condition

We check the pipe material, blockage type, and wall condition before applying pressure. Fragile or severely deteriorated pipes are not jetted without a lining plan.

2. High-pressure nozzle inserted through cleanout

The jetting nozzle is fed to the blockage through your existing cleanout. No access pit required. Water is drawn from our truck-mounted tank.

3. High-pressure forward-and-backward pass clears the full bore

The forward jets cut through blockages; the backward jets strip the wall clean and flush debris downstream. Multiple passes on severe buildups.

4. Post-jetting camera confirms full bore is restored

A final camera verifies the pipe is clear, the wall is clean, and no structural issues were uncovered during jetting. You see the cleaned bore on screen.

BEFORE & AFTER

Grease-blocked sewer line — hydro jetted, full bore restored.

A SouthPark condominium with a kitchen drain that backed up monthly despite repeated snaking. Hydro jetting stripped 8mm of grease coating from 55 feet of 4-inch ABS — the blockage that was snaked through every month was the wall coating, not a discrete plug.

"After three rounds of snaking in six months, LiningWorks did a hydro jetting service that actually cleaned the wall. Camera before and after showed exactly why the snake kept failing. No backup since."
