How the job is handled
A jetting nozzle pulls itself through the pipe while rear-facing jets scour the walls. We camera the line first to ensure it can handle the pressure; fragile or broken pipe is not a jetting candidate.
Jetting is especially useful on kitchen lines, where grease coats the pipe wall and a cable only punches a hole through it. By scouring the full diameter, jetting restores the pipe to near its original capacity. It is also used to prepare a line for trenchless lining.
We do not jet pipes that are cracked, collapsed or badly corroded, since the pressure can make damage worse.
Signs you need this work
- Grease buildup that keeps coming back in a kitchen line
