Hydro Jetting
By Imperial Appliances
When standard drain snaking isn't enough to clear stubborn buildup, hydro jetting offers a more powerful solution. This high-pressure water jetting method scours the full interior diameter of a pipe, removing grease, scale, sludge, and debris that ordinary tools leave behind.
What Is Hydro Jetting?
Hydro jetting uses a specialized nozzle to blast highly pressurized water through drain and sewer lines, cutting through and flushing away accumulated grease, mineral scale, sludge, and organic debris. Unlike a drain snake, which punches a hole through a clog, hydro jetting cleans the entire pipe wall, restoring it closer to its original flow capacity.
When You Need Hydro Jetting
Hydro jetting is especially effective for:
- Grease-heavy clogs in kitchen or restaurant drain lines
- Recurring blockages that snaking only temporarily resolves
- Mineral scale buildup in older pipe systems
- Sludge accumulation in sewer lines
- Root intrusion where roots have infiltrated pipe joints
- Routine maintenance for commercial kitchens and high-use drain systems
The Hydro Jetting Process
Imperial Appliances carries out hydro jetting with care and precision:
- CCTV pre-inspection — the line is often camera-inspected first to confirm hydro jetting is appropriate and identify pipe condition.
- Access point setup — a suitable cleanout or access point is prepared.
- Jetting — a high-pressure hose with a specialized nozzle is fed through the line, cutting and flushing debris in both directions.
- Debris flushing — loosened material is flushed out through the system's normal outflow point.
- Post-jetting camera verification — a follow-up scan confirms the line is fully clear.
- Maintenance recommendation — guidance on jetting frequency to prevent future buildup, especially for grease-prone systems.
Estimated Costs of Hydro Jetting
| Service Type | Scope | Estimated Cost (KES) |
|---|---|---|
| Residential single line jetting | Up to 15m | 8,000 – 15,000 |
| Full property drain jetting | Multiple lines | 15,000 – 30,000 |
| Commercial kitchen line jetting | Grease-heavy system | 12,000 – 25,000 |
| Sewer line jetting | Main sewer connection | 15,000 – 35,000 |
| CCTV pre/post inspection add-on | Per scan | 5,000 – 10,000 |
Costs depend on pipe length, blockage severity, and whether commercial-grade grease buildup is involved.
