"Had a plumber come out twice with a snake and the backup kept coming back. Spokane
Septic showed up, pumped the tank, then jetted the line at 4,000 PSI. Haven't had a single problem
since. Should have called them first."

"Roots had completely taken over our sewer line. They cut through them with the
jetter, flushed everything out, and showed us the before and after video. The pipe looked brand new

Professional Hydro Jetting in Spokane, WA
Hydro jetting is the most effective method for clearing stubborn sewer line blockages.
Unlike traditional drain snaking, which only pokes a small hole through the clog, hydro jetting uses water
pressure at 4,000 PSI to completely scour the inside of your pipes — removing grease,
roots, sludge, and mineral scale. The result is a pipe that flows like new.
At Spokane Septic Services, we combine sewer jetting with
septic tank pumping on the same truck. This means when we arrive for a
drain cleaning, we can pump the tank, jet the lines, and verify everything with a
camera inspection — all in one visit, one bill. No second truck. No
wasted time. No calling a plumber and a pumper separately.
When Do You Need Hydro Jetting?
Slow drains throughout the house — If multiple fixtures are draining slowly, the problem is
likely in the main sewer line between your house and the septic tank. A snake won't solve it. You need
high-pressure sewer line cleaning.
Recurring clogs — If you keep calling a plumber for the same clog every 6 months, you have
a buildup problem. Hydro jetting removes the entire buildup, not just the symptom. Most customers don't
need another cleaning for 3-5 years.
Grease trap or commercial kitchen drains — Restaurants and commercial kitchens produce
massive amounts of grease. Our grease trap cleaning and jetting
service keeps your lines compliant with health codes and prevents costly shutdowns.
Tree root intrusion — Spokane's mature trees send roots directly into older clay and cast
iron sewer pipes. Our cutting heads remove roots, and the high-pressure water flushes the debris completely
out of the line.
Hydro Jetting vs. Drain Snaking
A drain snake is a flexible cable that pushes through a clog. It's effective for simple
blockages close to the drain, but it only creates a small channel. Within weeks, the grease and roots grow
back. Hydro jetting uses a nozzle that sprays water at 4,000 PSI in a 360-degree pattern.
It doesn't just punch through — it removes everything from the pipe walls. The pipe is left
completely clean.
For Spokane homeowners with older septic systems, sewer jetting is often the only permanent
solution to chronic backup problems. Combined with a camera inspection,
we show you exactly what's in your pipes before and after cleaning.
Hydro Jetting FAQ
How much does hydro jetting cost in Spokane?
Hydro jetting in Spokane typically costs between $350 and $800 depending on the severity of the
blockage, pipe accessibility, and line length. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work. If
combined with a
septic tank pumping, many customers save by bundling
both services in a single visit.
Is hydro jetting safe for old pipes?
Yes. Our technicians adjust the pressure based on the pipe material and condition. PVC, cast iron, clay,
and ABS pipes can all be safely jetted. We always perform a
camera
inspection first to check for collapses or damage before jetting. If the pipe is compromised,
we'll recommend repair instead.
How often should sewer lines be jetted?
For most Spokane homes with septic systems, we recommend hydro jetting every 3 to 5 years as preventive
maintenance. If you have large trees near your sewer line — common in Spokane's North Side and South
Hill — you may need root cutting and jetting every 1 to 2 years to prevent backups.
Can hydro jetting remove tree roots from sewer lines?
Absolutely. Our system includes specialized root-cutting nozzles that slice through root masses and
flush them out of the pipe. For severe root intrusion, we combine jetting with a camera inspection to
verify the roots are fully cleared and assess if any pipe repair is needed.
What's the difference between hydro jetting and snaking a drain?
Drain snaking uses a cable to punch through a clog, creating a small opening. Hydro jetting uses 4,000
PSI water pressure to completely clean the entire pipe wall — removing grease, roots, and scale buildup.
Snaking is a temporary fix; jetting is a long-term solution. Most customers who switch from snaking to
jetting don't need another service call for years.
Can you jet and pump in the same visit?
Yes — this is our specialty. Our combo truck carries both the 3,000-gallon vacuum pump and the 4,000 PSI
hydro-jetting system. We pump the
septic tank first, jet the sewer
lines, then pump any flushed debris. One truck, one visit, one bill.
Can hydro jetting thaw frozen sewer lines?
Yes. During Spokane's brutal winters, shallow or exposed sewer lines can freeze solid. We use our
hydro-jetting system loaded with heated water to safely thaw frozen ice blockages without breaking PVC
pipes. Faster and safer than any chemical or electric thawing method.
Do you jet commercial kitchen drain lines?
Yes. We provide commercial hydro jetting for restaurant drain lines,
grease trap discharge lines, and floor drain systems. Our 4,000
PSI system removes hardened fats, oils, and grease that accumulate downstream of the trap. Full FOG
compliance service available.
