Hydro Jetting in Charlotte, NC
Clean the whole pipe, not just the clog
A drain cable pokes a hole through a blockage. Hydro jetting, also written hydrojetting or called sewer jetting, washes the inside of the pipe. A hose with a jetting nozzle goes into the line and sprays water at high pressure in every direction, cutting grease, soap scum, scale and small roots off the pipe wall and flushing them out to the main.
We use hydro jetting on lines that clog again and again after cabling, on restaurant and commercial kitchen lines in Charlotte that carry grease every day, and on main sewer lines before a repair so the camera can see the pipe clearly. It pairs with drain cleaning and a sewer camera inspection.

Back to the pipe's full diameter
Years of grease and scale narrow a four-inch line down to a fraction of that. Jetting strips the buildup off the wall of the pipe so water and waste move at full capacity again. That is why a jetted line stays clear far longer than one that was only cabled.
We look before we jet
High-pressure water is safe for sound pipe and wrong for a line that is already collapsing. We run a camera through the line first to check its condition and find the cleanouts. If the pipe is too fragile to jet, we tell you and talk through repair instead.
The right answer for grease lines
Restaurants, cafeterias and busy home kitchens send fats and oils down the drain every day, and they harden inside the pipe. A cable slides through grease and it closes back up behind it. Jetting cuts it out. Ask about a regular jetting schedule so a clog never closes your kitchen.

Why choose Alpha Drain for hydro jetting
Jetting works when the person running the machine understands the pipe. Pressure and nozzle choice change with pipe size and material, and a line has to be inspected before it is jetted. Spyro brings 15 years of drain and sewer work to that call, and you see the camera footage before and after so you know what you paid for.
We jet residential main lines, kitchen lines and commercial drains across Charlotte, and we schedule around business hours for restaurants and shops that cannot afford to close.
Get a Fast QuoteWhen hydro jetting makes sense
- The same drain has been cabled more than once in a year
- Kitchen sinks drain slowly even though nothing is stuck in the trap
- A camera shows grease, sludge or scale coating the pipe
- Tree roots have been cut out of the main line before and grown back
- You run a restaurant or commercial kitchen with a grease line
- You are about to buy a home and the sewer line needs cleaning before it can be inspected
What hydro jetting costs in Charlotte
Jetting costs more than a basic cable job because it uses more equipment and includes a camera check. The price depends on the length and size of the line, how it is accessed and how heavy the buildup is. A short residential kitchen line is at the low end and a long commercial main is at the high end.
It often pays for itself by ending the cycle of repeat clog calls. Tell us about the line at (980) 408-1705 and we will give you a price before we start.
How hydro jetting works
- We locate a cleanout that gives straight access to the line.
- A camera goes in first to confirm the pipe can take jetting and to see what we are dealing with.
- We choose a nozzle for the job, a penetrating head for a hard blockage or a spinning head for grease and scale.
- The hose works downstream and is pulled back slowly so the rear jets scour the pipe wall and push debris to the main.
- The camera goes back in to confirm the line is clean and to record its condition.

Hydro Jetting Questions, Answered
Hydro jetting cleans a drain or sewer line with water under high pressure. A hose with a special nozzle is fed into the pipe and sprays in several directions, cutting grease, scale, sludge and roots off the pipe wall and flushing them downstream. It cleans the full inside of the pipe instead of only opening a path through a clog.
It is safe for pipe that is in sound condition, including older cast iron and clay. It is not right for a line that is cracked, collapsed or badly offset. That is why we run a camera first. If the pipe is too weak to jet, we will show you the footage and explain your repair options.
A snake, or cable machine, breaks through a blockage so water can pass. It is quick and it works for a simple clog. Hydro jetting scrubs the whole pipe wall, removing the buildup that causes the next clog. Lines with grease, heavy scale or recurring roots usually need jetting.
It depends on how much grease the kitchen produces and the condition of the line. Many busy kitchens jet their grease line on a set schedule instead of waiting for a backup. We can look at your line with a camera and suggest an interval that fits.
Jetting cuts out small and medium roots and washes them away. Roots get in through a gap in the pipe, so they will grow back unless the opening is repaired. After jetting we use the camera to find where they are entering and explain whether a sewer line repair makes sense.
