Hydro jetting uses up to 4,000 PSI of water to scrub the inside of your pipe. Instead of just poking a hole through the clog, we strip away years of buildup and then verify the line with a sewer camera so you can see the difference for yourself.
Same-day and emergency jetting available most days in the Omaha metro.
Snaking breaks through a blockage; hydro jetting cleans the entire pipe wall. We use specialty nozzles and controlled pressure to cut through grease, sludge, and root hairs, then flush everything out of the line instead of leaving it to clog again.
In many homes and businesses, we’ll snake first to open the line, then jet to give you a “reset” so you start fresh instead of fighting the same buildup every few months.
Every jetting job is a mini project, not just a “blast and go.” From the first inspection to the final flush, our TruTech-trained technicians follow a step-by-step process to protect your home and plumbing system.
We choose the right hose, nozzle head (penetrator, flusher, spinner), and pressure for your specific pipe size and material — PVC, cast iron, clay, or Orangeburg — to get a thorough clean without unnecessary stress.
We don’t stop at the first sign of flow. Your technician makes multiple controlled passes to cut, scour, and carry debris out of the line — especially in low spots (“bellies”) and high-build-up sections.
For many hydro jetting jobs, we recommend a camera inspection before and/or after jetting so you can see what caused the issue and how clean the pipe is when we’re finished.
Not sure what actually happens during hydro jetting? Here’s how a typical visit goes from the moment we arrive until your drains are flowing again.
Your technician will talk through symptoms, check which fixtures are affected, and locate the best access point — usually a cleanout, floor drain, or pulled toilet.
Once the jetter is connected, we slowly work the hose down the line, cutting and flushing debris as we go. After cleaning, we run large volumes of water to confirm everything is draining the way it should.
At the end of the visit, we’ll review photos or video (if cameraed), talk through any long-term concerns like roots or broken sections, and give you written options so you can plan ahead — not just wait for the next backup.
Jetting is powerful, so we reserve it for the lines that truly benefit from a deep clean. Your technician will always start with an inspection and honest explanation of whether jetting makes sense or if another option is better.
Kitchen lines, restaurant drains, and commercial grease lines build up a thick layer of fats, oils, and soap that a cable can’t fully remove. Jetting strips that layer and helps your pipe behave like it’s years younger.
If you’ve had the same line snaked multiple times and it still backs up, there’s usually something coating the pipe or hiding in a low spot. Jetting can remove what the cable has been leaving behind.
In old clay or cast iron sewers, roots and scale grab onto everything that passes by. After cutting roots or descaling cast iron, jetting helps wash fine hairs and loosened scale out of the system.
From a single backed-up kitchen sink to a restaurant grease main or apartment complex mainline, Omaha Drain has the equipment and experience to jet lines in homes and commercial buildings across the metro.
Kitchen stacks, laundry lines, floor drains, and mainlines — we keep your home or small rental flowing and protect floors, walls, and finishes while we work. We always clean up after ourselves before we leave.
Grease traps, kitchen mains, and floor drains are the lifeline of any restaurant. We offer one-time emergency clears and scheduled maintenance jetting to help you avoid shutdowns during busy hours.
Retail centers, office buildings, apartments, schools, churches, gyms, and warehouses all rely on shared drain lines. Our team can jet long runs, multiple cleanouts, and hard-to-reach sections safely and efficiently.
Not every clog needs a jetter. But if you’re seeing any of these patterns around your home or building, a deeper clean may save you money and stress over the long run.
If multiple fixtures are slow or backing up — especially on lower levels — it usually points to a mainline or larger branch line with heavy buildup that snaking alone can’t fully fix.
That one kitchen, laundry, or basement line that always seems to act up after a few months is a classic jetting candidate. There’s often a layer of grease, sludge, or scale clinging to the pipe that needs to be removed.
Strong sewer smells, gurgling toilets, or bubbles in nearby drains can signal partial blockages and venting issues. Jetting can help restore flow and reduce the trapped waste that causes odor.
Not sure if jetting is the right call? Our techs always start with diagnostics and will tell you if a basic cable cleaning, spot repair, or full replacement is a better investment for your situation.

When it’s done correctly, yes. We choose the nozzle, hose, and pressure based on your pipe size, material, and condition. For older or fragile lines, we may recommend a camera first, lower pressure, or even a different approach if jetting isn’t safe.
A camera isn’t required for every job, but we strongly recommend it for recurring problems, older homes, or commercial lines. Camera footage shows what caused the issue (roots, grease, cracks, bellies) and lets you see the improvement after jetting.
Snaking breaks a channel through the blockage so water can move again, but it leaves most of the buildup on the pipe walls. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scrub those walls and wash debris out of the system, which often means fewer future clogs.
Most residential jetting jobs take 1–3 hours on site depending on access, pipe length, and how clogged the line is. Commercial and multi-unit projects can take longer, especially if we’re jetting multiple lines or performing full inspections.
Jetting is excellent for soft blockages like grease, sludge, paper, and small roots. It can’t “fix” a broken, collapsed, or severely offset pipe. If we find structural issues on camera, we’ll show you and talk through repair or replacement options.
Choose a time that works for you. We’ll confirm by text, send a photo of your technician, and keep you updated on the day of service.
