A Better Way to Clean Your Pipes

Clear Buildup, Not Just Clogs

Stubborn clogs and buildup inside your pipes can lead to slow drains, backups, and recurring plumbing issues. With professional hydro-jetting services in Portland, you can clear your pipes completely using high-pressure water. At Clog Busters, we provide advanced hydro-jetting solutions throughout Portland, OR and the surrounding areas to restore proper water flow and prevent future problems.

Hydro-jetting is one of the most effective drain cleaning methods available, designed to remove grease, debris, and buildup from inside your pipes – not just push it through. We service pipes between 2” and 6” in diameter, ideal for residential sewer and drain lines.

When to Use Hydro-Jetting

The Right Solution for Tough Clogs

Hydro-jetting is recommended when standard drain cleaning methods aren’t effective or when clogs keep returning.

Common situations include:

  • Recurring drain backups

  • Slow drains throughout the home

  • Sewer line blockages

  • Heavy grease buildup in pipes

  • Preparing pipes for CIPP lining

  • Maintenance for high-use plumbing systems

Hydro-Jetting vs. Traditional Drain Cleaning

A More Thorough Cleaning Solution

Traditional drain cleaning methods can clear blockages, but they often leave residue behind. Hydro-jetting goes further by cleaning the entire pipe interior.

Benefits over traditional methods include:

  • More complete removal of buildup

  • Reduced risk of recurring clogs

  • Improved long-term pipe performance

  • Better preparation for inspections or repairs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is hydro-jetting?

Hydro-jetting is a professional drain cleaning method that uses high-pressure water to thoroughly clean the inside of pipes. It removes grease, sludge, roots, and debris that build up over time. Unlike basic snaking, hydro-jetting clears the entire pipe wall, helping restore proper flow and prevent recurring clogs.

Is hydro-jetting safe for all pipes?

Hydro-jetting is safe for most plumbing systems when performed by a professional who evaluates the pipe condition first. Older or fragile pipes may not be suitable for high pressure, which is why we inspect the system beforehand to ensure hydro-jetting can be done safely and effectively.

What pipe sizes do you service?

We provide hydro-jetting services for pipes between 2” and 6” in diameter, which covers most residential and light commercial plumbing systems. This range allows us to safely and effectively clean sewer and drain lines without risking damage to the pipe or surrounding infrastructure.

Do you jet culverts or large pipes?

No, our hydro-jetting services are specifically designed for residential and light commercial plumbing systems. We do not service large-diameter pipes or culverts, as those require specialized equipment and fall outside the scope of standard plumbing jetting services.

How often should hydro-jetting be done?

The frequency of hydro-jetting depends on how heavily your plumbing system is used. For most homes, it can be used as needed for clogs or every 1-2 years as preventative maintenance. Regular cleaning helps reduce buildup and lowers the risk of future blockages.
