What Is Drain Jetting and When Do You Need It?

Slow drains? Recurring clogs? Gurgling toilets? It might be time for professional drain jetting. At Rob’s Septic Tanks, we use high-pressure hydro jetting to safely and effectively blast away grease, sludge, roots, and debris from your pipes—restoring full flow without digging.
With over 40 years of experience, we’ve seen how drain jetting can save Florida homeowners and businesses from costly septic emergencies.

🌀 What Is Drain Jetting?

Drain jetting—also known as hydro jetting—is a method that uses a powerful stream of water (up to 4,000 PSI) to scour the inside of drainpipes and sewer lines. It’s more than a simple clog fix—it completely cleans the pipe walls.
This method is ideal for:

Grease buildup

Sludge and mineral deposits

Tree root intrusions

Soap scum and hair

Sand and sediment

Clogged or slow drainfields

🛑 When Snaking Isn’t Enough

A plumbing snake might punch a hole in the blockage, but it doesn’t remove buildup from the pipe walls. That means the clog can come back—fast.
Drain jetting scrubs the entire pipe clean, reducing the chances of future backups and improving flow system-wide.

🚨 Signs You Need Drain Jetting

If you’re noticing any of the following, call us before it becomes a bigger issue:
✅ Water backing up in sinks, showers, or tubs
✅ Gurgling toilets or slow flushing
✅ Foul odors around drains or in the yard
✅ Frequent or stubborn clogs
✅ Soggy or wet spots in your yard
✅ Septic alarms going off

Hydro jetting is also a great preventative service—even if you’re not having issues yet.

🧰 Safe for Septic Systems

At Rob’s Septic Tanks, we use jetting equipment designed for septic systems and older pipes. We adjust pressure based on pipe material and condition, and we never jet into the septic tank itself—only the drain lines.
We also inspect the line before and after using video camera technology to confirm the results.
