How Hydro Jetting Works
A specialized nozzle delivers high-pressure water in every direction as it travels through the line. It cuts through grease, sludge, mineral scale, sand and small roots, then flushes the debris out of the system.
LCI inspects the line first to confirm the pipe can handle jetting and to choose the right pressure.
Ideal Uses in Northern Palm Beach County
Restaurant and commercial kitchen lines, multi-unit building stacks, older cast iron drains with heavy scale, main lines that pick up sand after storms, and any drain that keeps re-clogging after cabling.
Preventive Jetting Schedules
Commercial kitchens and HOAs in Palm Beach Gardens and Jupiter often book jetting on a fixed schedule to avoid emergency closures. We can set that up for your property.
How hydro jetting works
Snaking vs. hydro jetting
Jetting is like power washing a pipe from the inside. A cable punches a path through a clog. Jetting removes the buildup that caused it.
Side view and cross-section
- How it works
- A rotating cable bores a hole through the clog.
- What is left behind
- Grease and scale stay on the walls, so the line narrows again.
- Best for
- A simple, one-time obstruction.
- How it works
- High-pressure water scours the full pipe wall.
- What is left behind
- Buildup is flushed down the line, so the pipe runs close to its original size.
- Best for
- Grease, scale, sand, roots and clogs that keep coming back.
The process
How we jet a line
- 01
Camera the line
We inspect first to confirm the pipe can take jetting and see what is in it.
- 02
Match the pressure
Pressure and nozzle are set for the pipe material and condition.
- 03
Cut and scour
Forward jets break up the blockage. Rear jets scour grease, scale, sand and roots off the walls.
- 04
Flush it out
The water carries the debris down the line and out of the system.
- 05
Confirm the flow
We check that the line drains freely before we leave.
FAQ
Hydro Jetting: common questions
Is hydro jetting safe for older pipes?
It is when the line is inspected first. We camera the line and adjust pressure for the pipe material and condition.
Hydro jetting or cabling?
Cabling is fine for a simple, one-time obstruction. Jetting is the better choice for buildup, grease, recurring clogs and commercial lines.
How long does it take?
Most residential jetting jobs take one to two hours. Commercial lines vary by length and buildup.
So nice to have a company that actually knows what they are doing. Had two companies come to find my septic tank with no luck. Joel able to find the tank in five minutes. My tank was serviced and my drain field rejuvenated. Couldn’t have asked for a better service.

I ended up calling them for similar work and more, and they were just as professional as described. They responded quickly, explained everything clearly, and handled the job efficiently from start to finish. Everything was completed properly and the area was left clean afterward. I’d definitely recommend them.

Heather is so sweet and accommodating for scheduling. This is our second time using LCI. I receive constant updates regarding the appointment, updates when someone is on the way and Chris provides thorough explanations of what the problem is and how it’s being addressed. We used LCI for pumping our septic and jetting our plumbing lines after. Can’t go wrong with using LCI.
