Hydro Jetting Services in Colorado
SEWER AND DRAIN LINE CLEANING
Alphalete provides high-pressure hydro jetting to remove grease, sludge, scale, debris, and manageable root intrusion from residential and commercial sewer lines across Colorado.
Clear the Full Pipe, Not Just the Clog
A drain snake may open a narrow path through a blockage while leaving grease, scale, sludge, and roots along the pipe walls. Hydro jetting provides more thorough sewer line cleaning by flushing buildup from the full diameter of the pipe. Learn how hydro jetting compares with a drain snake.
Proper sewer inspection and cleaning can help maintain reliable wastewater flow and identify developing blockages. Learn more from the U.S. EPA resource on sanitary sewer overflows .
How Hydro Jetting Works
Our three-step process helps identify the blockage, clean the sewer line, and verify the results.
Sewer Camera Inspection
We inspect the line to locate the blockage and confirm that the pipe is suitable for high-pressure water jetting.
High-Pressure Sewer Cleaning
A specialized sewer jetting hose uses pressurized water to break up grease, sludge, scale, debris, and manageable roots.
Final Camera Verification
We perform a second camera inspection to verify that the roots, grease, and scale are completely gone. You can see the crystal clear results for yourself.
What Hydro Jetting Can Remove
Grease and Sludge Buildup
High-pressure water jetting breaks up fats, oils, grease, sludge, and organic buildup inside sewer and drain lines.
Mineral Scale and Debris
Sewer jetting removes scale, dirt, and accumulated debris from pipe walls to improve flow and reduce recurring clogs.
Manageable Root Intrusion
Specialized nozzles can remove certain tree-root intrusions. Severe or recurring roots may indicate pipe damage that requires inspection or repair.
Thorough Pipe Cleaning
After a sewer camera inspection, the pressure and nozzle are selected based on the pipe’s material, diameter, and condition.
Identifying Signs of Sewer Line Failure
Is hydro jetting safe for older pipes?
Yes, provided it is performed by trained professionals. We always conduct a thorough sewer camera inspection first to evaluate the structural integrity of your pipe walls. If we discover your lines are fragile or severely cracked, we will recommend our non-invasive trenchless pipe repair instead.
How long does hydro jetting take?
Most residential hydro jetting services are completed in just one to two hours. Commercial jobs or severely compacted lines may take a little longer. We work efficiently to restore your plumbing as quickly as possible.
Is hydro jetting required before trenchless pipelining?
Yes. Before installing a new CIPP (Cured-In-Place Pipe) liner inside your existing pipe, the host pipe must be thoroughly cleaned of grease, scale, and root intrusions. Hydro jetting prepares the interior pipe walls so the epoxy liner can adhere securely. Learn more about our trenchless sewer repair and lining process.
Can it remove tree roots from my sewer line?
Absolutely. We use specialized jetting nozzles designed specifically for cutting through heavy tree root intrusions. The water pressure acts like a blade to slice the roots away while simultaneously washing them down the line.
How often should I have my sewer line hydro jetted?
It depends on the line. Homes with heavy grease use or past root intrusion may benefit from periodic jetting, while others only need it when buildup returns. A camera inspection helps set the right interval.
Does hydro jetting work on commercial sewer lines?
Yes. Hydro jetting is well suited to restaurants and commercial properties where grease and scale build up fast, restoring full flow without excavation.
