Hydro-Jetting
Hydro-Jetting in Denver, CO
Bell Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electrical has provided hydro jetting in Denver since 1926. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to clear the grease, mineral scale, and tree roots that snaking can't remove, in both household drain lines and mainline sewers. If you have recurring clogs or slow, standing drains, it gets to the source of the problem instead of just opening a temporary path.
Our licensed drain and sewer technicians match the pressure to your pipe material and condition, so the line gets clean without being damaged. Call today or book a hydro jetting appointment online.

Signs You Need Drain Jetting in Denver
Not every clog needs hydro jetting, but some problems point to buildup that a snake can't fully remove. These are the signs to watch for:
- Clogs that keep coming back after snaking
- Slow drains in more than one fixture
- Gurgling sounds from drains or toilets
- Foul odors from sinks, floor drains, or your yard
- Sewage backing up into a tub, shower, or floor drain
- Grease buildup in a kitchen or commercial line
- Tree roots found in your sewer line during a camera inspection
If you're not sure whether it's a drain or a sewer problem, see our Denver Drain Cleaning page for single-fixture clogs, or our Denver Sewer Cleaning page if the main line is affected.
Hydro Jetting vs. Snaking: Which Do You Need?
Most of the time, a snake is the right tool, and it's the faster, less expensive fix. Hydro jetting is the better choice when:
- Snaking clears the clog but it returns within weeks or months
- The blockage is grease, scale, or roots rather than a simple hair or paper clog
- You want the whole pipe wall cleaned, not just a hole opened through the clog
- Your main sewer line has recurring backups
Our technician will assess the line first and recommend the method that fits your pipes and your problem. For simple single-fixture clogs, start with drain cleaning.
What Hydro Jetting Handles in Denver Homes
What's causing your clog depends a lot on what's in the ground and how old your home is:
- Tree roots — Denver's mature trees send roots into older clay and cast iron joints looking for moisture. Jetting clears the roots out of the line.
- Grease — hardens inside kitchen and mainline pipes and builds up in layers over time.
- Mineral scale — Denver's hard water leaves deposits that gradually narrow pipes.
- Aging pipe — many older Denver homes still have cast iron, clay, or Orangeburg sewer lines. Pressure has to be matched carefully to pipe condition, especially for fragile materials like Orangeburg, which is why we inspect first.
- Freeze-thaw cycles — stress aging joints, which gives roots and debris more places to take hold.
If your home has older pipes or mature trees nearby, regular jetting can keep these problems from turning into backups. Call us and we'll take a look at what's going on in your line.
Expert Tips
Hydro Jetting Costs in Denver
The cost of hydro jetting depends on the length and condition of the line, how severe the buildup is, and whether it's a drain line or your main sewer. We provide upfront pricing before any work begins, so you know the cost before you commit.
Our Work in ActionOur Denver Hydro Jetting Process
Here's what to expect from start to finish:
- Inspection: Our licensed plumbers evaluate your plumbing system to assess how severe the blockage is. Where needed, we use a sewer camera inspection to see inside the line.
- Equipment Set-Up: We set up our specialized hydro jetting equipment, including the high-pressure water source and control system.
- Pressure Adjustment: We set the water pressure to match your pipe's material and condition, so the line is cleaned without being damaged.
- Nozzle Insertion: We insert a commercial-grade nozzle, chosen for your line, into the pipe.
- Thorough Cleaning: The high-pressure jet dislodges and flushes out debris, grease, scale, and roots, cleaning the pipe as thoroughly as possible.
- Final Inspection: We confirm the line is clear and water flows freely before we call the job done.
Afterward, we'll recommend periodic drain cleaning or other maintenance if it makes sense, to help you avoid costly repairs.
Denver Hydro Jetting FAQs
Hydro jetting uses a high-pressure stream of water, delivered through a specialized nozzle, to scour the inside of your pipes and flush out grease, scale, roots, and debris. It uses water only, with no chemicals.
A snake punches through a clog, while hydro jetting cleans the whole pipe wall. Snaking is usually fine for simple clogs. Jetting is better for recurring clogs and for grease, scale, and root buildup.
Yes, when it's done correctly. We evaluate the line first and set the pressure to match your pipe's material and condition. Very fragile or damaged pipe may need repair rather than jetting, and we'll tell you if that's the case.
Yes. Jetting can clear roots out of your line. If the roots have damaged the pipe, we'll let you know so you can decide on repair, since roots will return through a damaged joint.
The time depends on the length of the line and how much buildup there is. We'll give you an estimate after we inspect the line.
It depends on the line. Homes with recurring clogs, grease buildup, or mature trees nearby may need it more often. We'll recommend a schedule after we see the condition of your line.
