Hydro Jetting (Jetters)

Powerful Drain Cleaning for Tough Commercial & Residential Blockages

When traditional drain cleaning methods aren’t enough, hydro jetting gets the job done. At Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Water Cleanup, we use professional-grade jetters to clear stubborn clogs, remove buildup, and restore full flow to your pipes. Serving Mobile, Baldwin, and Washington Counties, our team delivers fast, effective solutions for everything from grease buildup to invasive tree roots.

What Is Hydro Jetting?

Hydro jetting – also known as jetting – is a drain cleaning method that uses high-pressure water to thoroughly clean the inside of pipes. Unlike snaking, which only punches a hole through a clog, hydro jetting removes the entire blockage and cleans the pipe walls.

Our jetting equipment can:

  • Break apart grease, sludge, and debris
  • Cut through tree roots invading sewer lines
  • Flush out scale buildup and sediment
  • Restore pipes to near-original flow capacity

It’s one of the most effective and environmentally friendly ways to clean drains and sewer lines.

Who Needs Hydro Jetting?

Hydro jetting is ideal for both residential and commercial properties dealing with recurring or severe drainage issues.

We commonly provide jetting services for:

  • Restaurants and commercial kitchens (grease buildup)
  • Apartment complexes and multi-family properties
  • Office buildings and retail centers
  • Industrial facilities
  • Homeowners with frequent drain clogs or slow drains
  • Properties with tree root intrusion in sewer lines

If you’re dealing with repeated backups, foul odors, or slow drainage, hydro jetting may be the long-term solution.

Benefits of Hydro Jetting

1. Thorough Pipe Cleaning

Hydro jetting doesn’t just clear clogs—it cleans the entire pipe, removing buildup that can cause future issues.

2. Long-Lasting Results

Because it fully clears debris and residue, hydro jetting helps prevent recurring clogs and reduces the need for frequent service calls.

3. Safe for Most Plumbing Systems

When performed by professionals, hydro jetting is safe and effective for a wide range of pipe materials.

4. Environmentally Friendly

Jetting uses only water—no harsh chemicals—making it a safe option for your property and the environment.

5. Effective for Tough Blockages

From grease to roots, hydro jetting can handle some of the most stubborn and complex drain issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between hydro jetting and snaking a drain?

Snaking breaks through a clog to restore flow temporarily, while hydro jetting fully cleans the pipe by removing all buildup along the walls.

Hydro jetting is safe for most modern plumbing systems, but older or damaged pipes should be inspected first to ensure they can handle the pressure.

How often should hydro jetting be done?

For commercial properties like restaurants, regular jetting every 6–12 months is recommended. Residential needs vary based on usage and history of clogs.
