Hydro Jetting in Gig Harbor: what is different here

Hillside and waterfront lots in Gig Harbor can have long, steep drain runs, and grease that settles at the bottom bends is hard to reach with a cable. We bring the jetter across the Tacoma Narrows Bridge on SR 16, about 30 minutes out. For homes on septic, we jet the line only, never the tank.

How the job runs

  1. Camera check first

    We look inside the line to find the buildup and make sure the pipe is sound enough for high pressure.
  2. Flat price and plan

    You see what we found and get a flat price before we start. If jetting is the wrong fit, we tell you.
  3. Jet the line

    A hose with a special nozzle sprays water forward and back, scouring the walls and flushing debris down the line.
  4. Flow test and clean up

    We run water to confirm flow, can show you a camera view after, and clean up the work area.

Hydro Jetting questions in Gig Harbor

Yes, we can jet the line out of the house, but we do not pump or service the tank. Many Gig Harbor homes outside city limits use septic, so we first check whether the backup is in the line or at the tank. A camera look tells us if the pipe is sound enough to jet.

Here is what is typical once we are on site. Kitchen or branch line: 1 to 2 hours. Main sewer line jetting: 2 to 4 hours. Gig Harbor is about 30 minutes from our base via SR 16 across the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. We confirm timing with you when you book.

Hydro jetting sends water at very high pressure through a hose and nozzle into your drain or sewer line. The spray scours grease, scale, sludge and roots off the pipe walls and flushes them away. It cleans the full inside of the pipe, not just a small path.
