How the Hydro Jetting Process Works
We access your pipes through a cleanout opening, either inside your home or through the access point in your yard. From there, we feed a flexible hose with a specialized jetting nozzle into the line. Water is delivered at high pressure, moving forward to break up blockages and backward to flush debris completely out of the pipe. No chemicals, no mechanical grinding, just water doing the work at the right pressure for your system.

We don’t automatically reach for hydro jetting on every call. For accessible, simple clogs, other methods work well. Hydro jetting is most appropriate when the problem is deeper or more persistent. Common indicators include:
- Backups that occur in unusual patterns, such as your bathtub filling when the washing machine drains
- Clogs that keep returning after being cleared
- Multiple drains slow or blocked at the same time
- A sewer line that hasn’t been cleaned in several years and has a history of buildup
If you’re not sure whether hydro jetting is the right approach for your situation, call us. We’ll assess your system first and give you an honest answer.

- Reaches clogs that are too deep or too stubborn for conventional snaking

Hydro Jetting FAQs
That depends on what’s going on inside your pipes. For an accessible, isolated clog near the surface, snaking is often sufficient. For buildup along the pipe walls, recurring clogs, or a sewer line that hasn’t been cleaned in years, hydro jetting delivers a more thorough and longer-lasting result. We assess first and recommend based on what we find.
For pipes in good structural condition, yes. If we have any concern about pipe integrity before we begin, we’ll run a camera inspection to confirm they can handle the process safely. We don’t proceed with hydro jetting on pipes that are already fragile or heavily deteriorated.
Snaking uses a mechanical auger to break through or pull out a blockage. It’s effective for accessible, isolated clogs. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to clean the entire pipe length, removing buildup from the walls and flushing debris completely out of the system. For thorough cleaning or deep-seated problems, hydro jetting typically delivers a more lasting result.
Yes. The high-pressure stream can cut through root intrusion that has entered the sewer line, clearing the blockage and restoring flow. We’ll assess the extent of the root damage first, since significant intrusion may also require a pipe repair or lining evaluation alongside the cleaning.
It varies by household. Homes with heavy usage, older sewer lines, or a history of root intrusion may benefit from annual service. Others can go three to five years between cleanings. We’ll give you a recommendation based on what we find during the service visit.
No. The process takes place entirely inside your pipes. We access the system through an existing cleanout, so there’s no digging or disruption to your yard.

Dom and James were the techs that came out Friday. Two very known techs who took the time to explain things to me and made suggestions. I highly commend Dom and James and Embrich for hiring employees like these two men. I appreciated that they explained everything to me so that I understood what was going on and by giving me options of what could also be done to fix the issue.
I also appreciate the communication from Embrich. Starting from the after hours communications with me, to trying to fit me in the next day to the text messages and call from their techs.
I highly recommend Embrich for your plumbing needs.
Corey Scroggins and Daniel Schafers came out to remedy the situation. The county has guys ripping up my street so they had to be a little creative with getting the excavator on site. Which they did.
After excavating it was found that the pipe had been compromised by a foundation recovery system. They were able to cut away the foundation recovery system to install a new sewer line.
This was all done in a very timely and professional manner. There were unforseen circumstances that were handled in a timely fashion.
I highly recommend their services and will be using them again when I remodel my bathrooms.
The work was done on the day and time scheduled. Installation went well, it's compliant with all codes. I would highly recommend.
