Are you struggling with clogged drains, repeat backups, or heavy grease in your kitchen line? Family Roots Plumbing provides hydro jetting services throughout the Main Line and across Montgomery, Chester, and Delaware counties. We use high-pressure hydro jetting to remove grease, roots, and scale. Trust our professionals to deliver clean, careful work, clear communication, and results that last.
Hydro jetting is a professional drain cleaning method that uses a high-pressure water jet with specialized nozzles to scour the full interior of your pipes, cutting grease, roots, and scale. This eco-friendly cleaning method restores water flow to your drains and sewer lines without harsh chemicals. We schedule quickly, protect floors and fixtures, and clean up thoroughly when we’re done. If broader cleaning is needed, our sewer cleaners can service the entire sewer system—not just a single fixture run.
One of the benefits of hydro jetting is that it can clear slow-draining pipes quickly and effectively. Choose hydro jetting drain cleaning when you’re dealing with:
For many homes, residential hydro jetting provides a longer-lasting clean than a basic snake.
Before we touch the jetter, we set expectations and protect your space so everything goes smoothly.
We start with a camera to confirm what’s in the pipe and where it’s located, documenting conditions before and after. If we spot defects during inspection, we’ll note them for next steps.
Different problems need different tools. We match the nozzle and pressure to your pipe size and material to balance efficient cleaning with protection for older lines. This allows us to deliver safe, high-pressure hydro jetting that restores as much of the original diameter of your sewer pipes as possible.
After jetting, we verify the flow and provide documentation. If the camera reveals collapsed sections, severe offsets, or a belly, we’ll explain repair options and why they’re needed.
We jet kitchen lines, laundry drains, floor drains, and main sewers, and we can schedule around business hours when needed. From Wayne and King of Prussia to Malvern and West Chester, our crews handle hydro jetting for pipes with tidy routing through existing cleanouts whenever possible.
A cable punctures a path; hydro jetting scours the full circumference. Expect a bit more setup time, a pressure-tested hose run to a cleanout, and a short period of pump noise outdoors while we work. We’ll explain access points, anticipated time on site, and how we’ll safeguard nearby finishes.
If inspection shows damage beyond cleaning—like a broken hub, severe offset, or crushed section—we’ll recommend sewer line repair and coordinate options that minimize disturbance. For questions about pipe condition and materials, our sewer line professionals provide guidance on long-term reliability.
Heavy-use kitchens and older lines benefit from proactive maintenance. We can set a sensible jetting interval and add or upgrade cleanouts to make future service faster and more affordable. To stay ahead of problems, schedule a sewer inspection—it’s the best way to catch issues before they become emergencies.
We’re based on the Main Line and serve Wayne, King of Prussia, Gladwyne, Devon, Chesterbrook, Malvern, West Chester, Phoenixville, and surrounding neighborhoods across Montgomery, Chester, and Delaware counties.

Yes, hydro jetting can cut through many root intrusions and clear heavy grease. If roots return quickly, we’ll discuss contributing factors (like cracks) and whether targeted repair is smarter than repeated cleanings.
Yes, we provide a visual inspection before and after hydro jetting. We use a camera to confirm the cause, guide the cleaning, and document the results so you know what changed—and what, if anything, still needs attention.
To prevent your sewer line from clogging again, avoid flushing wipes and fibrous food waste, keep fats and oils out of the sink, consider periodic maintenance for heavy-use lines, and ensure easy access with proper cleanouts for future service.
