Sewer and Hydro Jetting

What We Do

Some drain and sewer blockages need more than a basic cable cleaning. Sewer or hydro jetting uses high-pressure water delivered through specialized equipment to break up and flush away suitable grease, sludge, debris, and buildup from the inside of a line. Affordable Waste Services provides jetting for customers dealing with stubborn or recurring flow problems in appropriate piping.


Jetting does more than create a small opening through a clog. When conditions allow, the water can clean buildup from more of the pipe wall and move loosened material through the line. Because high-pressure cleaning is not right for every pipe, the line’s condition and likely cause of the blockage should be considered first. A camera inspection may be recommended before or after jetting to identify visible damage, confirm the type of obstruction, or review the cleaned line.


Our family-owned, veteran-owned company has served Licking County and surrounding communities since 1989. We also offer conventional drain cleaning, sewer camera inspection, septic and aeration tank pumping, tank locating, grease trap service, and septic inspections.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is hydro jetting safe for every pipe?

  • No. Pipe material, age, condition, and the nature of the blockage should be evaluated before high-pressure cleaning.

How is hydro jetting different from cable drain cleaning?

  • A cable mechanically opens or retrieves a blockage, while jetting uses high-pressure water to remove buildup and clean more of the pipe wall.

Should the line be camera-inspected first?

A camera inspection may be recommended when pipe condition or the cause and location of the blockage are uncertain.
