Hydro Jetting a Main Sewer Line Clogged with Heavy Grease Buildup

Grease buildup is one of those problems that sneaks up on you. It doesn't happen overnight - it builds up slowly over time until your drains start slowing down, gurgling, or backing up completely. By the time most people call us, the line is already pretty far gone.

That's exactly what we were dealing with here. Heavy grease accumulation in the main sewer line. Left alone, that kind of buildup leads to full blockages, sewage backups, and a much bigger bill than a simple cleaning would've cost. We ran a sewer camera inspection first to see exactly what we were working with before touching anything.

The camera told us everything we needed to know. We pushed it nearly 190 feet into the line and could clearly see the grease coating the pipe walls. That kind of footage takes the guesswork out of it completely - we know where the problem is, how bad it is, and what it's going to take to fix it.

From there, hydro jetting was the right call. High-pressure water blasts through grease, debris, and buildup in a way that snaking alone just can't match. It clears the line thoroughly instead of just punching a hole through the clog.

Regular sewer line cleaning is one of the simplest ways to avoid an emergency. Most people don't think about their sewer line until something goes wrong - but a little preventive maintenance goes a long way toward keeping things flowing and avoiding backups down the road.
