Hydro-Jetting in the Baltimore & DC Metros
High-pressure jetting that scours grease, scale, and roots from your lines.
What is hydro-jetting?
Hydro-jetting cleans the inside of a pipe with a specialized nozzle and high-pressure water. Where a snake punches a hole through a clog, jetting scours the full pipe wall — flushing out years of grease, sludge, scale, and small root intrusions so the line drains like new.
It's the better choice for heavy grease buildup, recurring clogs, and grease-prone commercial lines. On older or fragile pipes we camera the line first to confirm it can handle the pressure, then adjust accordingly.

Frequently asked questions
What is hydro-jetting?
It's a cleaning method that uses a specialized nozzle and high-pressure water to blast the inside of the pipe clean — removing grease, sludge, scale, and small roots.
When is hydro-jetting the better choice over snaking?
When there's heavy grease or sludge buildup, recurring clogs, or you want to fully clean the pipe rather than just punch a hole through the clog.
Is hydro-jetting safe for older pipes?
For pipes in sound condition, yes. On older or fragile lines we usually camera first to confirm the pipe can handle it and adjust pressure accordingly.
Can hydro-jetting remove roots and grease?
Yes — it's very effective on grease and can cut through smaller root intrusions. Heavy roots may still need mechanical cutting or excavation.
How often should I have a line hydro-jetted?
It depends on use, but many commercial kitchens and grease-prone lines benefit from a scheduled cleaning (every 6–12 months). Most homes only need it as issues arise.
How much does hydro-jetting cost?
All services are quoted on a per-case basis — call (240) 332-5647 or fill out a Quote Form, and the fee is often credited toward any resulting repair.
