Hydro Jetting in University Place: what is different here

Long sewer runs on sloped University Place lots give sludge plenty of room to settle in low spots. A jetter's hose reaches the whole length and washes it out, which a hand cable cannot always do. We come about 25 minutes from our base via SR 16 or I-5 to Bridgeport Way, with phones answered 24/7.

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 University Place

We feed the jetter hose from a cleanout and work it down the full run. Some University Place homes from the 1960s to 1980s have long lines to the street, so we start with a camera to check the pipe and find low spots. Then high-pressure water scours grease and sludge out.

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. University Place is about 25 minutes from our base via SR 16 or I-5 to Bridgeport Way. 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.
