About this service
What high-pressure water jetting involves
High-pressure water jetting scours grease, scale, sludge, and roots off the inside of drain and sewer pipes, cleaning the full pipe wall instead of just punching a hole through the clog.
Active backups and overflows are taken 24/7 and dispatched as crews are available. Preventive or follow-up work is scheduled.
Signs you may need it
- Clogs that return soon after snaking
- Grease-heavy kitchen or restaurant lines
- Sludge or sand buildup in building or storm lines
- Root intrusion that needs full-diameter cleaning
What the visit typically covers
- Choose nozzle and pressure for the pipe material and condition
- Jet from an accessible cleanout
- Camera the line before or after when the pipe's condition is uncertain
| Usually a good fit | Not the right tool |
|---|---|
| Recurring grease or buildup | Pipe that is cracked, collapsed, or badly deteriorated — jetting can make weak pipe worse |
| Commercial kitchen lines on maintenance programs | Lines with no accessible cleanout until access is created |
| Clearing a line thoroughly before a camera inspection |
Before you call or book
- •Tell us the building age and any known pipe material
- •Locate cleanouts if you know them
- •Restaurants: schedule outside service hours when possible
Our Process
How high-pressure water jetting works at Mr. Drain
The exact same 5-step process on every call — residential or commercial, Boston or the South Shore.
- 1
Camera first
Every jetting job starts with a camera inspection so we know the pipe's material, diameter, and condition.
- 2
Choose the right nozzle
Penetrating nozzles for clogs, root-cutting nozzles for roots, flusher nozzles for grease — matched to the job.
- 3
Pressure-tune
We adjust PSI and GPM to the pipe — never blast a fragile cast iron line with commercial-grade pressure.
- 4
Scour the line
Water cuts through grease, scale, and debris. The line is left near-original-diameter clean.
- 5
Re-camera & confirm
Post-jet camera verifies the line is fully clear and shows you the result.
Equipment we use for high-pressure water jetting
- •Truck-mounted hydro jetters (4,000+ PSI, 18+ GPM)
- •Portable jetters for tight residential access
- •Penetrating, flusher, and root-cutting nozzles
- •HD sewer cameras for pre/post verification
Every truck rolls fully stocked — no return trips, no rentals, no delays.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is hydro jetting safe for older pipes?
Yes, when done by experienced technicians who adjust pressure to the pipe condition. We always inspect before jetting.
Hydro jetting vs snaking — which is better?
Snaking (cabling) punches a hole through a clog quickly and is great for soft blockages. Hydro jetting scours the entire pipe wall — clearing grease, scale, and roots — and leaves the line near-original-diameter clean. For grease lines, restaurants, and recurring clogs, jetting is the right call. For a one-off soft clog, cabling is faster and cheaper.
How much does hydro jetting cost in Massachusetts?
Residential main line hydro jetting typically runs $450–$900 in Greater Boston. Commercial grease lines and longer runs are quoted on-site. Always includes pre-camera inspection and post-camera verification.
Can hydro jetting damage pipes?
Not when done correctly. We always camera first, identify the pipe material and condition, and adjust pressure accordingly. We won't jet a pipe that's structurally compromised.
