Hydro Jetting

Snaking a drain punches a hole through the clog. Hydro jetting cleans the whole pipe. For lines choked with hard-water scale, grease or roots, that difference is everything.

A jetter uses a specialized nozzle and high-pressure water to scour the pipe wall back to its original diameter. It's the difference between a clog that comes back in a month and a line that flows for years. For Las Vegas homes and restaurants fighting mineral buildup, it's often the only real fix.

We camera the line first, jet it clean, and camera it again so you can see the result.

When hydro jetting is the right call

Clogs that keep coming back

If snaking only buys you a few weeks, the pipe wall is coated. Jetting removes the coating, not just the plug.

Grease-line backups

Restaurant and kitchen lines glaze with grease that a cable slices through but can't remove. Jetting emulsifies and flushes it.

Slow whole-house drainage

When everything drains slowly, the main line has lost diameter to scale — jetting restores it.

Root intrusion

Jetting cutting nozzles shear fine roots and flush them out, buying time before a [sewer repair](/sewer-line-repair/).

How hydro jetting works

We insert a hose with a directional nozzle into the line through a cleanout. Water jets forward to break up the blockage and backward to pull the hose through and scour the walls. Pressure and nozzle are matched to your pipe so the line is cleaned, not stressed.

Because we camera before and after, you're not taking our word for it — you see the scale, grease or roots go, and the bare pipe left behind. For homes battling constant drain clogs, it's the reset button.

  • Before-and-after camera inspection included
  • Nozzle and pressure matched to your pipe
  • Removes scale, grease, sludge and fine roots
  • Residential and commercial lines

Built for Las Vegas scale — and grease

Our 16-grain water lays down scale that ordinary cabling can't touch. Jetting is the tool that actually removes it, which is why we recommend it for chronic-clog homes and for restaurants along corridors like Chinatown / Spring Mountain Road that run heavy grease loads.

Pair jetting with a water softener and you slow the scale from coming back. See hydro jetting vs. snaking to understand which your line needs.

What hydro jetting removes that a snake can't

A cable punches a hole through a clog. That's often all you need for a one-time blockage — but it leaves the pipe wall coated, and in Las Vegas that wall is caked with hard-water scale, grease and sludge a cable slides right past. Weeks later, debris catches on the same buildup and you're clogged again.

Hydro jetting strips the wall back to bare pipe. The high-pressure stream shears off scale, emulsifies grease so it flushes away, and cuts through fine root hairs at the joints. That's why a jetted line stays clear for years while a snaked one clogs again — you removed the cause, not just the symptom.

  • Hard-water scale that cabling can't scrape off
  • Congealed grease glazing kitchen and restaurant lines
  • Sludge and sediment settled along the pipe floor
  • Fine root intrusion at joints and connections

Hydro jetting for restaurants and commercial kitchens

Grease is the enemy of every commercial kitchen line, and Las Vegas has thousands of them. Warm grease flows down the drain, cools, and hardens into a glaze that narrows the pipe until a Friday-night rush backs it up at the worst possible time.

We jet restaurant lines and grease-heavy commercial drains on a schedule so they never reach that point — keeping you open, inspection-ready, and off the emergency-callout treadmill. Ask about a maintenance interval for your commercial kitchen.

  • Scheduled jetting that prevents the Friday-night backup
  • Grease-line and grease-trap service
  • Before-and-after camera so you see the result
  • Maintenance plans that keep you inspection-ready

FAQ

Hydro Jetting questions, answered

Is hydro jetting safe for my pipes?

For sound pipe, yes — we match pressure and nozzle to the line. If a camera shows the pipe is already cracked or badly corroded, we'll recommend repair instead. That's exactly why we inspect first.

How often should I hydro jet my drains?

Most homes only need it when clogs become chronic. Restaurants and heavy grease lines benefit from a scheduled interval — we'll suggest one based on how fast your lines load up.

Hydro jetting or snaking — which do I need?

Snaking is fast and fine for a one-off clog. Jetting is the fix for scale, grease and recurring problems because it cleans the whole pipe. Here's a full comparison.

Will hydro jetting damage old pipes?

Not when it's done right. We camera the line first and match the pressure and nozzle to the pipe. If the inspection shows the pipe is already cracked, crushed or badly corroded, we tell you and recommend repair instead of jetting — which is exactly why we never jet blind.

Can hydro jetting clear tree roots?

It clears fine root hairs and flushes them out, which buys real time. But if roots have cracked the pipe or a big root mass keeps coming back, jetting is a temporary fix — the lasting solution is sewer line repair. The camera tells us which situation you're in.

How much does hydro jetting cost in Las Vegas?

It depends on the line's diameter and length, how heavy the buildup is, and whether it's residential or a commercial grease line. We quote it up front after a quick look — and for chronic-clog homes it's often cheaper over a year than paying to snake the same drain again and again.
