We run camera-verified jetting on residential and commercial lines across Boca Raton, matching the pressure and nozzle to the pipe. That last part matters in South Florida, where a lot of lines are aging cast iron — too much pressure on a thin, corroded section does damage, so we assess condition first.
When hydro jetting is the right call
- The same line clogs again weeks after it was snaked
- Kitchen or grease lines that slow down repeatedly
- Recurring root intrusion in the sewer lateral
- Sand or sediment silting up a low or coastal line
- Multiple slow fixtures fed by one greasy branch
- A restaurant or commercial kitchen due for scheduled cleaning
- A camera shows heavy scale or buildup coating the pipe
What's included with hydro jetting
No vague “we'll take a look.” Here is exactly what a hydro jetting visit from Rapid Drain Clean Florida covers:
- A condition check of the line — often a quick camera look — before any pressure goes in
- The correct nozzle and pressure matched to the blockage: grease, roots, hard scale, or sand
- Full-diameter cleaning of the pipe wall from an existing cleanout, with no digging
- Debris flushed downstream and out of the system, not left sitting in the line
- A camera pass afterward so you can see bare, clean pipe wall
- An honest call on whether the pipe can take full pressure or needs a gentler approach
How we handle it, step by step
Every job follows the same honest sequence: diagnose first, clear with the right tool, then verify and explain. Here's what that looks like.
- 1
Assess the line first
We check pipe material and condition — often with a quick camera look — before jetting. Healthy PVC and sound cast iron handle full pressure; thin or cracked pipe does not, and we say so.
- 2
Set pressure and nozzle
Grease needs a different nozzle than roots or hard scale. We dial in the pressure and head for the specific blockage so the jet cleans thoroughly without stressing the pipe.
- 3
Jet from the cleanout
The hose feeds in and the water works upstream, cutting through the blockage and washing the debris back down the line and out — leaving the full diameter of the pipe open again.
- 4
Camera-verify the result
We can run the camera afterward so you actually see the clean pipe wall, confirm the line is clear, and catch any defect the buildup was hiding.
Jetting vs. snaking — what's the difference?
Snaking is faster and cheaper and is the right tool for a straightforward clog — a wad of hair, a toy, a single grease plug. It restores flow by making an opening. Jetting is the right tool when the pipe wall itself is coated, when roots keep coming back, or when you want the line genuinely clean rather than just flowing.
The honest rule we follow: use the least aggressive method that solves the problem. We will not sell you a jetting job when a cable will do, and we will tell you when a cable is a waste of money because the buildup will just close the line again.
Grease, roots, and South Florida scale
Grease is the number one jetting job in kitchens — it cools and hardens on the pipe wall until the line closes. Roots are second: ficus, banyan, and oak send fine hair through joints hunting for water, and jetting shreds it out where a cable only bores through the middle. Cast-iron scale is the quiet third — decades of rust tubercles that jetting can knock down to restore real diameter.

(614) 830-0578What hydro jetting costs
Jetting is priced by line size, length, access, and how heavy the blockage is. As a South Florida guide:
- Residential hydro jetting: roughly $360–$1,440 depending on the line
- A camera inspection is often bundled to verify the result
- Grease and root jobs at the heavier end of the range
- Commercial and recurring lines can be put on a scheduled rate
- Access without a proper cleanout adds labor
Note: We confirm the price in writing after we see the line — no surprises after the fact.
