Hydrojetting in Tumwater
If a Tumwater drain line backs up again weeks after it was cabled, the pipe wall is probably coated. Jetting scours it clean, and we camera first.
When Jetting Earns Its Keep
Jetting is the right tool for grease that coats a kitchen line, mineral scale that narrows the pipe, and root mats in a main line. It is overkill for a single hair clog.
We tell you which one you have before recommending it.
If a line has been cabled several times in a year, that pattern alone is a good reason to look at jetting and a camera together.
When we recommend it
- →Recurring kitchen line clogs
- →Roots at main line joints
- →Scale in older pipe
- →Lines too packed for a camera
Look, Jet, Look Again
The camera goes in first to confirm the pipe can handle the pressure. A cracked or offset section can be made worse by jetting.
After jetting, we run the camera again when access allows, so you see the clean wall and any defect that still needs repair.
Jetting needs a way in, usually a cleanout. If the house has none, we explain where one could be added and whether it is worth doing.
What Jetting Will Not Do
Jetting does not fix a broken pipe, a belly or bad slope. If roots came in through a failed joint, they will return until that joint is repaired.

If the footage points to a spot repair, we quote that separately so you can compare.
