High-Pressure Cleaning That Makes Your Pipes Like New Again

Restaurant owner on Westwood Avenue called desperate. Grease trap overflowing, toilets backing up, health inspector coming tomorrow. Twenty years of grease had created concrete-hard buildup.

Four hours of hydro jetting later, pipes flowed like they were brand new. Passed inspection, stayed open, learned expensive lesson about regular maintenance. That's jetting power - water pressure so intense it cuts through anything.

Why Sewer Jetting Beats Everything Else in Bergen County

Snaking makes a hole through clogs. Jetting obliterates them completely. It's like pressure washing your driveway versus sweeping it - completely different results.

Problems Only Jetting Solves

  • Decades of grease turned solid

  • Tree roots grown thick as your arm

  • Scale buildup reducing pipe to pinhole

  • Years of "flushable" wipes accumulated

  • Sand and debris packed solid

  • Previous snake attempts that just poked holes

Regular snaking's like mowing over weeds - looks better temporarily but roots remain. Jetting pulls weeds out completely. Roots gone, grease eliminated, pipes restored to full diameter.

What to Do Right Now (Before We Arrive)

Locate All Cleanouts

Those capped pipes in yard or basement - we need access. Clear area around them. Move cars if cleanout's in driveway. Access speeds everything.

Warn the Neighbors

Jetting's powerful and sometimes loud. If share sewer connection (common in older areas), their drains might gurgle. Better to warn than explain later.

Prepare for Water

Jetting uses lots of water. Might splash from cleanouts. Move anything valuable away from access points. We're careful but physics is physics.

Commercial Necessities

Restaurants need quarterly jetting. Apartment buildings with shared lines. Hotels with heavy usage. Car washes with sand buildup. Any business can't afford backups.

Jetted line for Emerson apartment building last week. Fifteen units sharing main line, constant backups. Found years of accumulated baby wipes. Now flows perfectly, tenants happy, landlord relieved.

Our Professional Jetting Process

Camera First, Always

See what we're dealing with. Roots? Grease? Collapsed pipe? Wrong solution makes things worse. Camera tells truth.

Graduated Pressure Approach

Start gentle, increase as needed. Too much pressure in weak pipe causes damage. Experience knows right pressure for each situation.

Jetting Frequency Recommendations

Residential Guidelines

Normal homes - every 3-5 years. Homes with trees - annually. History of problems - twice yearly. Preventive beats reactive.

Commercial Requirements

Restaurants - quarterly minimum. Apartments - bi-annually. Heavy use facilities - monthly. Compliance often requires documentation.

Why Bergen County Needs More Jetting

Our trees are mature and aggressive. Older infrastructure wasn't designed for modern usage. "Flushable" products everywhere. Grease from cooking builds up.

River Vale's clay pipes collect everything. Washington Township's long runs to street need power cleaning. Westwood's restaurant district requires constant maintenance. Different needs, same solution - jetting.

Advanced Jetting Technology

Rotating Nozzles

Spin at 3,000 RPM while moving forward. Cuts roots like drill. Scours pipe walls completely. Way beyond simple pressure.

Specialized Heads

Different nozzles for different problems. Root cutters, grease nozzles, penetrating heads, chain flails. Right tool for each job.

Had Hillsdale estate with 500 feet of neglected line. Used three different heads - penetrator to break through, root cutter for trees, finishing nozzle for polish. Pipe looked brand new inside after a sewer line repair.

Safety and Environmental Impact

Proper Water Disposal

Jetting water contains everything removed. We handle disposal properly. Environmental compliance mandatory.

No Chemicals Needed

Pure water pressure does everything. No harsh chemicals into environment. Safe for pipes, safe for ground water. Green solution.
