The only drain cleaning method that actually cleans the pipe — not just punches a hole through the clog. Grease, root hairs, scale, and debris removed completely.
A cable snake is the right tool for a first-time single-fixture clog. It punches through the blockage and restores flow. But it leaves the grease coating, root hairs, and scale on the pipe walls — which means the clog returns, usually faster each time. If you're having the same drain snaked every few months, the snake is treating the symptom, not the cause.
Hydro jetting uses 3,000–4,000 PSI water through a rotating nozzle that simultaneously blasts forward to clear blockages and backward in a 360° pattern to scour the pipe walls completely clean. After jetting, the pipe interior is genuinely clear — not just punched through. For High Point homes with recurring grease clogs or root intrusion in the main sewer lateral, hydro jetting followed by RootX treatment is the permanent solution, not a temporary fix.
📞 Call Now — 336-422-7560We always run a camera before jetting pipes in homes over 40 years old. Fragile cast iron cannot withstand full jetting pressure. Camera confirms pipe condition and guides our approach.
Jetting equipment feeds through the existing drain cleanout — no excavation required. We identify the best access point for the specific drain being serviced.
The rotating nozzle is fed through the line while firing 3,000–4,000 PSI water in all directions. We work the full length of the affected line.
For main sewer line jobs, we run the camera again after jetting to confirm complete clearance and identify any structural issues that need monitoring.

Jetting removes the coating that causes recurring clogs — grease layers, root hairs, and scale that a snake leaves behind.
We never jet a fragile or deteriorated pipe. Camera inspection before jetting protects your plumbing and ensures the right approach.
A properly jetted line stays clear significantly longer than a snaked line — especially for grease and root problems in High Point's older neighborhoods.
Kitchen drain had been snaked four times in 18 months — always came back within 2 months. Triad hydro jetted it, showed me the before/after camera, and it's been clear for over a year now.
Main sewer line in our Emerywood home had root intrusion that required snaking every 3–4 months. After hydro jetting and RootX treatment, we're at 16 months and counting with no backup.
Didn't realize hydro jetting was an option — my previous plumber never mentioned it. Triad explained the difference, ran the camera first, and the results were immediate. The pipe looked completely different after.
A drain snake (cable machine) punches through a blockage and pulls or breaks it apart, restoring flow. It leaves residue — grease coating, root hairs, mineral scale — on the pipe walls. Hydro jetting uses 3,000–4,000 PSI rotating water to remove blockages AND clean the pipe walls completely. Results last significantly longer, especially for grease and root problems.
At full pressure, jetting can damage fragile or severely deteriorated pipe — this is why we require camera inspection before jetting any pipe over 40 years old or showing signs of deterioration. For pipes in good condition, jetting is safe and highly effective. PVC, newer cast iron in good condition, and ABS drain pipe all handle jetting well.
For High Point homes with recurring grease problems: every 1–2 years. For sewer lines with known root intrusion: annually, combined with RootX treatment. For homes without specific recurring issues: every 3–5 years as preventive maintenance. Regular jetting is significantly cheaper than emergency drain clearing.
Hydro jetting removes root hairs and clears root-caused blockages effectively. It does not permanently kill roots — roots regrow from the living root mass in the soil. For lasting root management, we combine hydro jetting with RootX foaming root killer, which kills roots in the pipe and slows regrowth for 12–24 months.
Yes — we service both residential and light commercial properties in High Point and the Triad. Commercial kitchens with grease trap issues and retail properties with high-volume drain use are strong hydro jetting candidates.
