Hydro Jetting in Broward County, FL
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water — typically 3,000 to 4,000 PSI — to clear blockages, grease buildup, and mineral scale from drain and sewer lines. But before we jet any line, we scope it first. Running a hydro jet through a structurally compromised pipe — especially aging cast iron — can cause a partial collapse or blowout. A camera inspection takes 30 minutes and tells us whether jetting is safe or whether the line needs repair first.
What hydro jetting clears
- ✓Grease and FOG (fats, oils, greases) buildup in kitchen lines
- ✓Tree root intrusion in sewer lines (cuts roots, doesn’t fix the crack)
- ✓Mineral and calcium scale in older pipes
- ✓Recurring slow drains that keep coming back after snaking
- ✓Sand and debris buildup common in South Florida drain lines
Why cast iron homes need a scope first
Most Broward County homes built before 1972 have cast iron drain lines. Cast iron corrodes from the bottom up — the pipe can look intact from the outside while the bottom half has rusted through. Running 4,000 PSI water through a pipe in that condition risks a blowout under the slab.
We scope every cast iron line before jetting. If the pipe grades out well on camera, we jet. If it shows corrosion beyond a safe threshold, we’ll tell you — and show you the footage — before recommending the right repair.

Frequently asked questions
How much does hydro jetting cost?
Residential hydro jetting in Broward County typically runs $350–$650. If a camera scope is needed first (required for all pre-1972 cast iron homes), add $250–$400 for the inspection.
Is hydro jetting worth the cost?
For recurring blockages that keep coming back after snaking, yes. Snaking cuts a hole through a clog; hydro jetting scours the full pipe interior. For a one-time soft blockage in a newer PVC line, a snake may be sufficient.
Can I do hydro jetting myself?
Consumer-grade pressure washers run 1,500–2,000 PSI — not enough to clear compacted grease or roots. Professional hydro jetting equipment runs 3,000–4,000 PSI with a rotating nozzle that cleans the full pipe wall. It also requires knowing what you’re sending it into — which is why the scope comes first.
