Sewer Jetting

What is Sewer Jetting?

Sewer jetting is using high-pressure water through a hose and nozzle to blast away grease, roots, and debris inside sewer and storm lines; combination trucks jet the line and vacuum the loosened material back out.

Sewer jetting (hydro jetting) sends a high-pressure water stream down a pipe through a nozzle whose rear jets propel the hose forward and scour the pipe walls clean. It clears blockages, grease, sediment, and roots to restore full flow in sanitary and storm sewers.

On a combination (combo) truck, jetting is paired with vacuum recovery so the dislodged sludge is suctioned into the debris body, often with a water recycling system reusing recovered water. Rent combo trucks and jetting equipment through a free Vac4Rent request; rental companies reply directly.
