Hydro Jetting Troy MI scours grease, scale, and tree roots off the pipe wall instead of just poking a hole through the clog. We run high-pressure drain cleaning in Troy, Michigan for homeowners and businesses across Oakland County, from 1920s cast iron in the older blocks to PVC under newer builds. If your drain is slow, gurgling, or backing up, call (248) 691-5596 and we will get eyes on it today.
Hydro Jetting Troy MI is a drain cleaning method that pushes water through a high-pressure hose at 3,000 to 4,000 PSI to strip buildup off the inside of the pipe. A rotating nozzle with rear-facing jets pulls itself down the line while the water scours grease, soap scum, scale, and roots off the walls. Where a drain snake or plumbing auger only punches a channel through the blockage, jetting restores the full inside diameter of the pipe. That is the difference between a drain that works for a month and one that works for years.
Most Troy calls we run start the same way: a slow drain in the kitchen, a gurgling laundry standpipe, or a sewer backup in the basement floor drain. Grease buildup and tree root intrusion are the two biggest culprits, and both get worse in older Oakland County housing stock. We scope the line with a sewer camera first, then jet it. If you have been searching for hydro jetting near me Troy MI and getting thin answers, we walk you through what we find on the camera before we touch the pipe.
Every jetting job we run in Troy includes the camera work, the jetting, and the proof that the line is clean. Here is what is covered in a standard call, and what we quote separately if the line needs more than jetting.
We run a pipe inspection camera down the line before we jet it. You see what is in the pipe on the monitor and we explain what we are looking at. This is what keeps us from jetting a line that actually needs repair.
We jet the line with a hydro jetting machine at 3,000 to 4,000 PSI, matched to your pipe material and size. The nozzle scours grease, scale, and roots off the pipe wall and flushes the debris out through the cleanout.
If the camera shows tree root intrusion, we run a root-cutting nozzle or a rooter machine first to slice the roots, then jet the line to flush the pieces out. This is standard on older Troy clay laterals.
After jetting, we run the camera again to confirm the pipe is clean wall to wall. If we still see buildup, we run another pass. You see the after-video before we leave the property.
We run water through every fixture on the line, check the flow at the cleanout, and clean up the work area. You get the camera footage and a plain-language summary of what we found and what caused it.
We feed a pipe inspection camera down the line and watch the monitor with you. You see the grease ring, the root intrusion, or the offset joint for yourself. This takes 15 to 20 minutes and tells us whether jetting is the right call or whether the line needs something else.
We pull the cleanout cap, set drop cloths, and stage the hydro jetting machine. On most Troy homes the cleanout is in the basement or at the front yard. If there is no cleanout, we discuss pulling a toilet or cutting one in before we run anything.
We run the high-pressure hose in stages, starting at 1,500 PSI and working up to 3,000 to 4,000 PSI depending on the pipe. A rear-jetting nozzle pulls the hose forward while the water flushes debris back to the access point. A typical residential line takes 45 to 90 minutes.
We flush the loosened debris out and run the camera again to confirm the pipe is clean wall to wall. If we still see root intrusion or scale buildup, we run a second pass. You see the after-video before we pack up.
We run water through every fixture on the line and check the flow at the cleanout. Then we walk you through what we found, what caused it, and how to keep it from coming back. You get the camera footage and a written summary of the work.
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
Our primary hydro jetting machine for residential and light commercial lines. We run it at 3,000 to 4,000 PSI with interchangeable nozzles for grease, scale, and root cutting.
The hose and rear-jetting nozzle that pulls itself down the line while the water scours the pipe wall. We carry different diameters for 2-inch kitchen lines up to 6-inch mains.
Used when the camera shows tree root intrusion. The nozzle slices roots at the pipe wall so the jetting pass can flush the pieces out through the cleanout.
Our pre- and post-jetting camera. We watch the monitor with you so you see the grease ring, the roots, or the pipe corrosion for yourself before and after the work.
A mechanical cutting machine we run ahead of jetting on heavy root intrusion. It cuts the main root mass so the jetting pass is not fighting a solid blockage.
Still the right tool for a simple clogged drain or a single fixture. We use it when jetting is overkill, and we tell you when that is the case.
A Troy homeowner had been snaking the kitchen sink every three months for two years. The camera showed a grease ring narrowing the 2-inch line to about half its diameter. Water drained slow and the disposal backed up into the other sink basin.
We jetted the line at 3,000 PSI with a grease-cutting nozzle and flushed the buildup out. The re-scope showed bare pipe wall and full flow. The sink drains in seconds now instead of pooling for a minute.
A 1950s Troy home had a sewer backup in the basement floor drain. The camera showed a root mass the size of a softball intruding through a joint in the clay lateral, about 30 feet out. The line was backing up into the laundry tub.
We ran a rooter machine to cut the main mass, then jetted the lateral at 4,000 PSI to flush the pieces out. The re-scope showed clean pipe with one hairline crack at the joint. Flow test ran full.
A Birmingham restaurant was getting a kitchen line backup every six to eight weeks, usually during dinner service. The line was 4-inch cast iron with heavy grease buildup and scale on the walls. Each backup cost them a service call and lost covers.
We jetted the line clean and put them on a quarterly commercial hydro jetting Troy MI schedule. The camera at each visit shows the grease load staying low. They have gone 14 months without a backup.
Most of the calls we run in Troy come down to four problems. Jetting handles all of them, but the fix looks different depending on what is in the pipe. Here is what we see and how we clear it.
Ask a pro →We jet the line with a high-pressure hose and a grease-cutting nozzle to strip the buildup off the wall. Then we set you up with an enzyme drain cleaner schedule so the grease does not rebuild as fast. Most kitchen lines stay clear for a year or more.
We camera the line, run a root-cutting nozzle or rooter machine to slice the roots, then jet the line to flush the pieces out. We re-scope to confirm the roots are gone and show you the pipe condition so you know if a liner is worth considering.
Jetting at the right pressure scours the scale off the pipe wall without damaging the iron. We match the nozzle and pressure to the pipe condition, and we camera before and after so you can see how much flow you got back.
We jet storm drains and catch basins to clear the debris and restore flow. We run it in the fall before the leaves drop and again in spring after the thaw, which keeps water moving away from your property.
Most residential jobs in Troy run $275 to $650 in 2026, and commercial lines or long sewer laterals run $500 to $1,200. The price depends on line length, pipe size, and how much root intrusion or grease buildup we are dealing with. That range includes the camera inspection and the post-jet re-scope.

High-pressure drain cleaning in Troy, Michigan uses a hydro jetting machine to push water through a specialized hose at 3,000 to 4,000 PSI. A rotating nozzle scours grease, scale, and roots off the pipe wall and flushes the debris out through the cleanout. It is different from snaking, which only punches a hole through the clog. Jetting restores the full inside diameter of the pipe.
Yes, for most pipe materials when the pressure is matched to the pipe. We jet PVC pipe and cast iron pipe at settings that clear buildup without damaging the walls, and we camera-inspect first so we know the pipe condition. If we find pipe corrosion, a collapsed section, or a failing joint, we stop and talk through repair options before running water.
Yes, and it is the most effective method for both. A root-cutting nozzle slices through tree root intrusion and flushes the pieces out, while the high-pressure water strips grease buildup off the pipe wall. We have cleared root masses from 4-inch clay laterals in Troy that a drain snake could not touch. We follow up with an enzyme drain cleaner schedule to slow grease from returning.
