Hydro Jetting in North Indianapolis
Hydro jetting for homes, restaurants and rental properties across the north side of Indianapolis. Older clay and cast-iron sewer lines plus big trees mean roots, and jetting is the best way to cut them out.
Why north side Indianapolis sewers clog
Neighborhoods like Broad Ripple, Meridian-Kessler, Butler-Tarkington, Meridian Hills and Nora have lots of older homes with clay or cast-iron sewer laterals. Tree roots get into the joints and cause repeat backups.
Cast-iron lines build up scale on the inside that shrinks the pipe. Jetting knocks the scale and roots back to the pipe wall, and the camera shows if the pipe needs repair.
Restaurants and bars in Broad Ripple, Keystone and Castleton fight grease in kitchen lines. Apartments and rentals often need main lines jetted between tenants.

Signs you need jetting, not a snake
- The same drain or main line clogs again within weeks of being snaked
- More than one drain is slow at the same time
- Gurgling from toilets or sinks when water runs elsewhere
- Water backing up into the basement floor drain or tub
- Sewer smell from a floor drain
- Roots or grease found on a past camera inspection
What's included
Hydro jetting in North Indianapolis
For main sewer lines, kitchen lines, floor drains and commercial grease lines.
Camera inspection first
We run a camera down the line so you can see the roots, grease or damage before we decide anything.
Root cutting
High-pressure water cuts roots out of clay and cast-iron joints instead of just punching a hole through them.
Grease and sludge removal
Jetting scours grease, soap scum, wipes and sludge off the whole pipe wall, not just the middle of the clog.
Scale in cast iron
Old cast-iron lines build up scale that shrinks the pipe. Jetting knocks it back so water flows again.
Commercial and restaurant lines
Kitchen, grease and main lines for restaurants, apartments and offices, with scheduled maintenance jetting available.
Options and a price first
You see what's in the line and get a price on site before any work starts. If the pipe needs repair, we tell you.
Sewer line repair →How a jetting visit goes
1. Call or text. Tell us what's happening: a backup, slow drains all over the house, gurgling or a line that keeps clogging.
2. Camera the line. We find the cleanout, run a camera and show you what's causing the problem.
3. Options and a price first. Jetting, a repair, or both. Nothing starts until you say yes.
4. Jet and re-check. We jet the line clean, then camera it again so you can see the result.
Jetting vs. snaking
A snake cuts a path through the clog and leaves the rest stuck to the pipe, so it often comes back. Hydro jetting scours the whole inside of the pipe, which is why it's the better fix for roots, grease and repeat clogs.

Questions
North Indianapolis hydro jetting FAQs
Who is responsible for the sewer line from my house to the street in Indianapolis?
In general, homeowners are responsible for their sewer lateral from the house to the city main. We can camera it to show you where the problem is.
Is hydro jetting better than snaking?
Snaking pokes a hole through a clog. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the whole pipe wall, so it works better for grease, roots, scale and repeat clogs.
Will hydro jetting damage my pipes?
Not when the line is in decent shape. That's why we camera the line first. If a pipe is cracked, collapsed or badly corroded, we show you and talk about repair before jetting.
How much does hydro jetting cost?
It depends on the line, how far the clog is, access and what the camera shows. A licensed plumber looks at it on site and gives you options and a price before any work starts.
Do you jet commercial and restaurant lines?
Yes. We jet kitchen, grease and main lines for restaurants, apartments, offices and property managers, and we can set up scheduled maintenance jetting.
Is drain cleaning or jetting covered by a warranty?
Drain cleaning and jetting aren't covered by our 12-month workmanship warranty, since what goes down the drain afterward is out of our control. We'll explain that before the job starts. Repair work we do on the pipe is covered.
