Whether it’s grease buildup, roots, or recurring clogs, we have the specialized equipment and expertise to get your drains flowing again.
Most homeowners don’t realize that not all plumbers are sewer specialists. Hydrojetting is one of the most effective tools available for clearing tough blockages—but it requires experience and the right equipment to use safely and effectively. Many local plumbers refer their toughest drain jobs to us for that very reason. It’s important to understand that hydrojet drain cleaning is an excellent option in some cases, but not the right solution in others.
We’ve been clearing clogged drain lines since 1978. Serving Alpharetta, Buford, Cumming, Duluth, Lawrenceville, Suwanee, and beyond, we’re the most chosen plumber for sewer and drain service.
What Is Hydrojet Drain Cleaning?
Hydrojet drain cleaning uses high-pressure water (up to 4,000 PSI) to scour the inside walls of your drain pipes. Unlike a traditional drain snake that just pokes a hole through a clog, a hydrojet thoroughly flushes out years of built-up grease, sludge, scale, and even some tree roots.
It’s ideal for:
- Grease and food waste buildup (especially in kitchen lines)
- Roots that have grown into aging sewer pipes
- Sludge and scale inside older cast iron lines (depending on integrity of the lines)
- Repeated clogs that keep returning despite snaking
However, hydrojetting can’t:
- Repair a broken sewer line
- Correct a belly or improper slope in the pipe
- Restore structural integrity to heavily deteriorated piping
That’s why it’s important to combine hydrojetting with proper diagnostics, like camera inspections and locating tools—so you don’t just treat the symptom, but understand the full picture.
Real Story: Hydrojetting Buys Time for a Lawrenceville Homeowner
One Lawrenceville homeowner contacted us with repeated sewer backups. Their home, built in the 1980s, had a cast iron main sewer line that ran underneath the slab foundation. Over the years, the previous home owners poured cooking grease down their kitchen drains. Pouring fats, oils or grease down drains is a big no-no. Over time, this grease complicated the slight problem in the drain’s fall.
Not enough fall means the sewer line didn’t have the proper slope for gravity to fully carry waste away. Correcting this would require major excavation through the home’s foundation—a disruptive and expensive repair the homeowner wasn’t prepared for just yet.
Instead, we performed hydrojet drain cleaning to flush out the grease buildup and restore flow. While this isn’t a permanent fix for the improper slope, it relieved the immediate issue and bought the homeowner time to plan for a future repair. We also educated them on keeping fats, oils, and grease out of the drain to minimize future problems.
Our Full Suite of Drain and Sewer Tools
We don’t just rely on one tool. Our team is equipped with a range of advanced technology to ensure thorough, long-lasting results—starting with hydrojetting when appropriate.
Sewer Cameras
Get a crystal-clear view inside your pipes. Our video inspections identify blockages, cracks, sagging pipes, and more.
Locators

Hydro Jetters
Our powerful hydrojetting machines blast away tough blockages, grease, and even roots. We typically recommend hydrojet drain cleaning when a snake alone won’t cut it—and always follow up with a camera inspection to verify results.
Sewer Machines
A great first step for clearing soft blockages or opening a drain enough to allow camera access. Often used before hydrojetting.
High-Torque Descaling Tools
Needed when jetting isn’t enough—especially for cast iron pipes with heavy internal corrosion.
Pipe Relining
When repairs are needed but excavation isn’t ideal, we may be able to reline your pipe from the inside—after cleaning it thoroughly with a jetter.
Excavators and Shoring
If pipe replacement is unavoidable, we own our excavation equipment and follow all safety protocols, ensuring faster and more affordable repairs.
Common Drain & Sewer Problems (And How Hydrojetting Can Help)
Grease & Sludge Buildup
Kitchen drains and older homes with cast iron pipes are prone to greasy buildup over time. Hydrojetting is the gold standard for clearing these blockages and restoring full pipe diameter.
Roots in the Sewer Line
Hydrojetting can break up and flush out roots that have infiltrated your pipes. But if roots are getting in through cracks or breaks, a repair will ultimately be needed to prevent repeat intrusions.
Cracked or Broken Pipes
Hydrojetting is not a long term solution for broken lines, but it can help clean the pipe so a proper camera inspection can confirm the problem and determine next steps.
Pipe Bellies & Improper Slope
Water should flow downhill—but sometimes soil settles and pipes sag. While hydrojet drain cleaning can buy time by clearing pooled waste, only a pipe repair will permanently correct the slope.
Insurance, Drain Cleaning, and Repairs
Is hydrojetting or drain repair covered by your insurance policy? It depends. We’ve helped thousands of homeowners navigate their coverage and work with adjusters. If the damage is under the home, your policy may offer assistance with access and restoration. Every case is different—call us for guidance.
