01 / CLEAN

Hydro jetting

High-pressure water can remove certain grease, sludge and buildup from sewer and drain lines. It is not the right tool for every pipe or blockage, so line condition and access matter.

  • Useful for some recurring buildup
  • Can clean more of the pipe wall than a simple opening
  • Selected after assessing the line
02 / SEE

Camera inspection

A sewer camera helps locate an obstruction and see visible pipe conditions. It can be especially useful when a line repeatedly blocks or the cause is uncertain.

  • Helps locate the trouble spot
  • Can show roots, damage or buildup
  • Supports a clearer service recommendation

HOW TO DECIDE

Start with the symptoms, not the equipment.

Describe how often the line blocks, which fixtures are affected and whether previous cleaning helped. We can discuss whether jetting, inspection or standard drain cleaning is the sensible next step.

“The same clog came back.”

That is useful information. Repeat problems deserve a closer look at what is happening inside the line.

JETTING & INSPECTION QUESTIONS

A few useful distinctions.

What is the difference between hydro jetting and a camera inspection?

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to clean certain lines. A camera inspection helps locate an obstruction and view visible pipe conditions. An inspection may help determine which cleaning method makes sense.

Will hydro jetting fix every recurring sewer clog?

No. Recurring clogs can have different causes, and jetting is not right for every line. The pipe condition, blockage and access need to be assessed first.

When should I ask about a sewer camera inspection?

Ask about inspection if a blockage keeps returning, the cause is unclear or you need a clearer view of the line before deciding on further work.
