Commercial-grade hydro jetting for severe clogs, grease, roots, and scale. The $19 consultation is credited to your job.
Hydro jetting is a sewer and drain cleaning method that uses high-pressure water — typically 3,000 to 4,000 PSI for residential lines — propelled through a specialized nozzle. The nozzle propels itself down the line while jetting water that scours the interior pipe walls clean of grease, mineral scale, soft root intrusion, and other buildup.
Hydro jetting is most useful for situations where a standard cable snake leaves the underlying buildup intact. Common cases include grease accumulation in kitchen lines, mineral scale in hard-water areas, root intrusion through joints, and commercial kitchen line maintenance.
A camera inspection before jetting is standard practice. Not all pipes are appropriate candidates — heavily corroded cast iron, severely degraded clay, and old Orangeburg pipe can fail under jetting pressure. Camera verification before and after the jetting documents the result.
After jetting, recurrence depends on the original cause. Grease buildup recurs as new grease accumulates. Roots regrow into the line through any unrepaired entry points. Hard-water mineral scale recurs over years. Commercial kitchen lines often benefit from a preventive jetting schedule.
July 2026 note for Aurora homeowners: Hydro jetting demand in Aurora spikes in July and August when cottonwood, elm, and silver maple roots are drawing maximum summer water and pushing aggressively through any joint gap. If your Aurora sewer line has been cleared with a cable machine in the past year or two, a follow-up hydro jet this summer scours out regrown root tendrils and deposits before they rebuild into a full blockage. Aurora's heavy afternoon thunderstorm season adds urgency — a line cleared of partial root buildup handles storm-volume surges significantly better than one with active accumulation.
If you're experiencing any of these in your Aurora home, contact us to schedule a $19 camera-first consultation.

Hydro jetting pricing varies by line type, length, and severity. The $19 consultation is credited toward the work. Recurring maintenance jetting (e.g., for commercial kitchens) is typically quoted as a service contract.
We work with homeowners across the Aurora, CO area, including these neighborhoods:
A cable snake bores a hole through a clog with a rotating cutting head, clearing a narrow path while leaving most of the buildup on the pipe walls. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the entire interior circumference of the pipe clean. For recurring clogs caused by grease or scale, jetting addresses the root cause; snaking only provides temporary clearance.
Hydro jetting is safe for pipes in normal structural condition — PVC, ABS, cast iron in good shape, clay tile, and HDPE. Pipes that are heavily corroded or already structurally compromised may not be suitable. A camera inspection before jetting confirms pipe condition.
Duration depends on the cause: grease buildup may stay clear for 1-3 years depending on household habits; root intrusion typically returns over time as roots regrow; mineral scale recurs slowly in hard-water areas. Commercial kitchen lines often benefit from regular preventive jetting on a maintenance schedule.
Hydro jetting cuts roots out of the pipe but does not kill the roots themselves; they will regrow over time. For a permanent solution to root intrusion, the entry point in the pipe needs to be repaired (spot repair) or the section replaced (typically via trenchless lining or pipe bursting).
Summer — particularly July and August — is when Aurora sewer lines are most at risk from root accumulation. Cottonwood, elm, and silver maple roots reach peak growth rate in midsummer, so any entry point in an Aurora sewer lateral will have more root mass now than in spring or fall. Hydro jetting in July clears that accumulated root growth at its peak, and a follow-up camera inspection confirms whether the entry point needs a spot repair to prevent rapid regrowth. Lines cleared in summer also handle the heavy thunderstorm flows common in Aurora in July-August more effectively.
Standard drain cleaning with a cable auger bores a hole through a clog and pulls out a portion of the blockage. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water — 3,000 to 4,000 PSI — to scour the full circumference of the pipe walls clean. For Aurora's older Original Aurora clay laterals with years of root-strand buildup, grease, and mineral scale, hydro jetting addresses the full accumulation where a cable machine only creates temporary clearance. The result typically lasts significantly longer between service calls.
