Hydro Jetting in Cuyahoga County, OH
When a drain or sewer line is clogged with roots, grease or buildup, hydro jetting clears it with high pressure water instead of just punching a hole through the blockage. Imperial Waterproofing Inc. provides hydro jetting across Cuyahoga County, often following a camera inspection. Ray supervises every job, and has since 1981.
What It Is
Hydro jetting is the process of cleaning the inside of a sewer or drain line with a high pressure water stream. A specialized nozzle sends water forward to break up blockages and backward to scour the pipe walls, flushing roots, grease, scale and debris out of the line.
Unlike snaking, which cuts a path through a clog but leaves the buildup behind, hydro jetting cleans the full interior of the pipe. That is why it is often the next step after a camera inspection confirms the line is structurally sound enough to handle the pressure.

How We Do It
Our process keeps your project clean and clear. Owner supervised by Ray on every job.
Ray often starts with a camera inspection to confirm the line is structurally sound and to locate the buildup.
We access the line through a cleanout and feed the hydro jetting hose to the problem area.
High pressure water breaks up roots, grease, scale and debris and scours the pipe walls clean.
A final camera pass confirms the line is clear and flowing freely.

Why Drains Stay Clogged
Older Cuyahoga County homes with clay tile sewer lines are prone to root intrusion that regrows after snaking. Hydro jetting cuts and flushes those roots so the line flows freely again, and a camera confirms whether the line is sound or needs repair.
Grease, scale and debris build up over decades in Cleveland area drain lines. Hydro jetting removes that buildup from the full pipe wall, restoring flow that snaking alone cannot achieve.

Common Questions
Q.What is the difference between hydro jetting and snaking?
Snaking cuts a path through a clog but leaves the buildup on the pipe walls, so clogs often return. Hydro jetting uses high pressure water to scour the full interior of the pipe, flushing roots, grease and debris out so the line flows freely again.
Q.Does hydro jetting come after a camera inspection?
Usually yes. A camera inspection first confirms the line is structurally sound enough to handle the pressure and locates the buildup. After jetting, a final camera pass confirms the line is clear and shows whether any repair is still needed.
Q.Can hydro jetting clear tree roots?
Yes. The high pressure water cuts through and flushes out root intrusion that has entered the line. However, if roots have cracked or collapsed the pipe, jetting clears the blockage but the structural damage still needs repair, which the camera reveals.
Q.Is hydro jetting safe for older pipes?
It is safe for structurally sound pipes. That is why we inspect with a camera first to confirm the line is intact. If the line is cracked or collapsed, we recommend repair instead of jetting so the pressure does not worsen the damage.
Q.How fast can you respond to a backed up drain?
We are open 24/7 and Ray answers the phone directly. If you have a recurring or severe backup, call right away and we will respond as quickly as possible to inspect and clear the line.
