Hydro Jetting in Federal Way

Hydro jetting sends water at up to 4,000 psi through a specialized nozzle that scours the full inside wall of the pipe. Unlike a cable, which punches a hole through the clog, jetting removes grease, scale and fine roots fully. It is the go-to method for restaurant drains and lines that clog again within months. We camera the line first to make sure the pipe is sound enough for jetting. Most residential jetting jobs take two to three hours.

Our goal is to prevent such emergencies with regular cleaning.

This leaves your pipes clear from wall to wall.

We can also coordinate with grease trap pumping. Service records are provided for health inspections.

Sewer Line Cleaning and Root Removal in Federal Way

Tree roots seek moisture and slip into clay and cast iron sewer lines through joints and hairline cracks. Over time they form dense mats that catch everything flushed down the line. We cut roots with a sectional machine and blade, then jet the line to flush out debris. A foaming root treatment can slow regrowth for a year or more. If roots have cracked or crushed the pipe, we show you the camera footage and discuss repair.
