Lines that call for jetting
- Restaurant branches lined with hardened fat
- Old cast-iron building drains crusted with scale
- Garage and loading-dock trench drains packed with grit
- Storm leads choked with silt and leaves
- Any line that backs up again soon after cabling
Our jetting routine
- Find the closest cleanout and confirm the size and pipe material.
- Send a camera in first when roots or breaks are suspected.
- Push the hose upstream with a nozzle matched to the blockage.
- Retract slowly so the rear jets scrub the walls and carry debris out.
- Camera the line again and hand over the recording.
Keeping the site safe
- We cone off the area from staff and customers.
- Open cleanouts are covered while the pump runs.
- Pipe that looks cracked or collapsed is not blasted; it gets a repair plan instead.
Between visits
- Put kitchen lines on a jetting interval matched to their grease load.
- Keep grates and floor-drain baskets in place.
- Sweep garage levels before the spring washdown.
- Call about a slow drain while it is still only slow.
What callers want to know
Will jetting damage an old pipe?
Sound pipe handles it well. We look at older or suspect lines with the camera first, and broken sections get repaired rather than jetted.
How long does it take?
One line, with the camera check, is usually a few hours. Buildings with several lines take longer.
