Water Jetting
Water jetting is an incredibly powerful and effective method for cleaning your sewer system, using a high-pressure stream of water to blast away debris. While traditional drain cleaning can often clear blockages, it may not always be strong enough to fully eliminate all the buildup in your sewer lines. That’s why we recommend water jetting as a superior option, especially for stubborn clogs caused by grease, roots, scale, and other debris.
Once your main sewer line has been initially cleared, we strongly advise a follow-up camera inspection to assess the condition of the pipe. This allows us to determine if further cabling is needed or if water jetting would provide a more thorough cleaning. In the Twin Cities, many older neighborhoods in Minneapolis and St. Paul have aging sewer systems and mature tree growth, making them especially prone to root infiltration and buildup. Water jetting not only clears away these blockages but also prepares the line for a complete inspection, ensuring we catch any other issues before they become costly problems.

Water jetting is performed through a clean-out, the same access point used for traditional drain cleaning. Ideally, the best place to water jet is from an outside clean-out, but most homes don’t have one installed. The next best option is the front floor clean-out, usually located near your water meter or in your mechanical room at the front of the house. Using the most optimal clean-out location makes the job more efficient and ensures the best results for clearing your sewer line. Proper access allows for a more thorough cleaning, helping to maintain the long-term health of your system.
Water jetting clears the entire circumference of the pipe whereas the rooter service only opens to the size of the blade. (This may not pertain to pipes that are compromised.)
Water jetting can be used for residential and commercial properties.
Water jetting is environmentally safe. No chemicals used.
Water jetting is great for long sewer lines, heavy grease, paper plugs, scale build-up, tree-roots, overhead suspended drain lines and much more.
Water jetting is much more effective for commercial and longer main sewer lines typically over 100 feet in length.
Having to add extra lengths of cable, especially when working on a sewer line with tree roots can take much longer than water jetting and end up costing more.
Water jetting flushes the toughest stubborn debris that cables and blades can not remove.
Water jetting is great for removing those tough tree-roots that have been growing in your sewer line for years. We refer to those as “wood roots”.
