About this service

Typical cost
$389 - $960

Professional hydro-jetting in Seattle uses high-pressure water streams (typically 4,000 to 35,000 PSI) to thoroughly clean the inside of drain and sewer pipes. When traditional snaking doesn't work, hydro-jetting removes stubborn blockages, tree roots, and scale buildup. Typical costs in Seattle range from $389 to $960, and can exceed $2,300 for commercial lines or heavy tree root clearing.

Primary Causes of Buildup

  • •FOG solidification
  • •Calcified scale
  • •Tree root intrusion

If neglected

Probability of a DIY fix for Hydro-Jetting?

Zero. The extreme pressures involved can easily slice through skin and destroy aged or weakened pipes if not managed correctly. Hydro-jetting must be guided by camera inspections to verify that the pipe walls are clean.

Insurance coverage

Insurance does not cover preventative hydro-jetting, but cleanup of a sudden sewer backup may be covered if the homeowner has a sewer backup endorsement.
