Septic Line Cleaning and Hydro Jetting in Denver
An independent, licensed plumbing contractor. Not affiliated with Denver Water or the City and County of Denver.
Hydro jetting cleans a septic line by driving water through a nozzle at high pressure, scouring grease and biomat off the pipe wall and cutting root mass rather than boring a hole through it. On a structurally sound septic line it is the most complete cleaning available, and on a failing one it is the wrong tool.
- High pressure cleaning of the building to tank line.
- Root cutting and full wall scour, not just a bored hole.
- Camera before and after, every time.
- Suitability judged by pipe condition, not by preference.
- Serving septic parcels across the Denver metro.

When Is Jetting the Right Call on a Septic Line?
Jetting earns its place where the obstruction coats the pipe wall. Grease, soap scum, biomat, and fine root hair all build inward from the circumference, and a cable simply passes through the middle of that. Water at pressure takes it back to bare pipe.
It is also the right call where the line has been cabled repeatedly and keeps blocking. That pattern almost always means the material was never actually removed, only perforated. Either that, or there is a structural defect holding material in place, which the camera will show.
(720) 935-6221Good candidates for jetting
- Grease accumulation along a long building sewer run.
- Fine root mass at multiple joints.
- Biomat buildup in a line feeding a tank.
- Lines that block again weeks after cabling.
- Pre-repair cleaning so the camera can actually read the pipe.
How We Diagnose It
When Jetting Is the Wrong Tool
A jet nozzle applies real force to the pipe wall. On sound pipe that force does the work. On pipe that has already cracked, offset, or lost a section, that force finds the weakness. Jetting a failed line can turn a partial blockage into a full collapse.
That is not a reason to avoid jetting. It is the reason we camera first, every time, without exception. The camera tells us the material and the condition, and that determines whether the answer is a jet, a cable, or a repair.
We do not jet when the camera shows
- Cracked, sheared, or separated pipe sections.
- A collapsed run or a missing pipe segment.
- Severe deformation in Orangeburg or thin-wall material.
- A belly holding standing water that cleaning will not correct.
How Septic Line Jetting Runs
- 1
Open access and camera
Cleanout or tank inlet access, then a full camera run to read material, condition, and defect distance.
- 2
Select nozzle and pressure
Nozzle choice and pressure are matched to the pipe material and to what is in the line, not set to one default.
- 3
Jet the run
Work outward and pull back, scouring the wall and flushing the material to the access point rather than pushing it downstream into the tank.
- 4
Camera again and report
A second run confirms bare pipe and documents any defect the buildup was hiding.
What Denver Customers Say About Working With Us
“Very direct and to the point. Extremely efficient and professional.”
“They cleared our drain where Roto Rooter couldn't and quoted us to replace the line under our concrete.”
“Prompt service and worked well into the night to restore service due to hard soil. And did their best to prevent large scars to the yard”
What Drives Jetting Cost on a Septic Line
Run length, access, and severity set the price. A line with an accessible cleanout near the building is straightforward. A line where the only access is the tank inlet at depth adds excavation before any cleaning starts.
If the post-clean camera shows a defect that will re-block the line, we tell you what it will take to fix and we do not pretend the cleaning solved it.
