Some drain problems can't be snaked — they can only be scrubbed. Grease baked onto pipe walls, thick root mats in clay laterals, and years of scale inside old lines are all conditions where an auger just pokes a hole and the problem rebuilds within weeks. The line looks clear on the day of the visit, but the coating is still there, grabbing everything that flows past.
Hydro jetting cleans a line the way pressure-washing cleans a driveway: a high-pressure water stream with a specialized nozzle scours the full interior of the pipe, stripping grease, scale, sludge, and root masses off the walls. After jetting, the line doesn't just have a hole through the blockage — it has its full diameter back, and it stays clear far longer.
If your drains have been snaked more than once with the problem returning, or a camera showed heavy grease or root buildup, jetting is the honest answer. Call and tell us what's been happening; we'll confirm jetting is right for your line before we start.
Signs your line needs hydro jetting
- The same drain has been snaked repeatedly and keeps slowing down
- Grease or sludge visible at cleanouts or in the drain
- Camera inspection showed heavy buildup or root masses on pipe walls
- Multiple fixtures drain slowly at the same time
- Thick, dark water or sediment backs up into low drains
How we hydro jet your lines
1 Inspect first
Jetting goes in only after we know the line's condition. We check for fragile or collapsed sections that shouldn't take high pressure — jetting a compromised pipe makes things worse. If the line is sound, we proceed.
2 Set the nozzle and pressure
The jetter's pressure and nozzle type are matched to your pipe material and the blockage — root-cutting nozzles for root mats, flushing heads for grease and sludge. Clay tile laterals get treated with care for their joints.
3 Jet downstream and back
The nozzle travels the full run, scouring the pipe walls on the way out and washing debris back toward the access point. We work section by section so nothing gets pushed deeper into the line.
4 Verify with the camera
After jetting, we run the camera through to confirm the walls are clean and the full diameter is restored. You see the before and after — no guessing about what the jetting accomplished.
Why hydro jetting fits Stow's pipes
Stow's clay tile laterals are hydro jetting's natural target. Root mats don't just block clay joints — they pack against the rough tile walls and trap grease and paper into a dense mass that no auger fully removes. Jetting cuts the roots at the joints and scours the tile interior clean, restoring the pipe without digging up the yard. It also handles the grease-coated cast-iron and galvanized lines common inside Stow's 1950s–70s homes. For this housing stock, jetting isn't a luxury upgrade — it's the clearing method that actually matches how these pipes fail.
