Hydro Jetting

Professional Services Throughout South Florida

When snaking isn't enough, hydro jetting delivers the most powerful drain cleaning available—blasting away grease, roots, and scale with up to 4,000 PSI of water pressure.

Our commercial-grade hydro jetting clears grease, roots, and scale from Miami condo risers and kitchen lines — not just a hole through the clog. We camera when cast iron or collapse is possible, then jet only when the pipe can handle it.

Hydro jetting in Miami: grease, condos, and when to jet vs snake

South Florida kitchens and condo risers build grease and scale that a cable often punches through without cleaning the pipe wall. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the line — the right call for recurring clogs, restaurant grease, and root-hair mats after a camera confirms the pipe is intact enough to jet safely.

If the camera shows a collapsed cast-iron section, jetting alone will not fix it — we stop and quote repair or replacement. Typical residential jetting for a main line often lands in the mid hundreds to low thousands depending on access and length; we quote before we start.

  • Condo / commercial kitchens: grease lines that clog every few months
  • Camera-first when roots or cast iron may be present
  • Jet vs snake: snake for soft spot clogs; jet when the whole run needs cleaning
  • Follow-up maintenance jetting available for restaurants and high-use buildings

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about hydro jetting

What is hydro jetting?
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water (up to 4,000 PSI) sprayed through a specialized nozzle to scour the inside of your pipes. It removes grease, scale, tree roots, and debris—leaving pipes almost like new.
How much does hydro jetting cost?
Residential hydro jetting typically costs $350-$600 depending on line accessibility and length. Commercial services start around $500. We always include a video inspection to verify it's the right solution for your situation.
Is hydro jetting safe for old pipes?
Hydro jetting is safe for most pipes including PVC, cast iron, and clay. However, we always perform a video inspection first. For severely corroded or fragile pipes, we may recommend alternative methods or replacement.
How often should drains be hydro jetted?
For most homes, every 2-3 years is sufficient. Commercial kitchens and high-use properties may need quarterly or annual service. We can set up a maintenance schedule based on your specific needs.
Can hydro jetting remove tree roots?
Yes! Hydro jetting is highly effective at cutting through and removing tree roots from sewer lines. For severe root intrusion, we may recommend pipe repair after jetting to prevent regrowth.
What's the difference between snaking and hydro jetting?
Snaking breaks through clogs but leaves buildup on pipe walls. Hydro jetting completely clears the pipe, removing grease, scale, and debris. Hydro jetting results last 5-10x longer than snaking for recurring problems.
Do you offer hydro jetting for commercial properties?
Yes! We provide commercial hydro jetting for restaurants, hotels, hospitals, and other high-volume facilities. Our equipment handles lines up to 12 inches in diameter with customized nozzles for different applications.
Is video inspection included?
Yes, we include video camera inspection with every hydro jetting service. This allows us to assess pipe condition before jetting and verify complete cleaning afterward. You'll see the before and after difference.
