Service Overview
Hydro Jetting Backed by 65+ Years of Local Experience
A slow drain or recurring clog is more than an inconvenience — it's a warning sign. Over time, grease, mineral scale, soap scum, and even tree root intrusions accumulate inside drain lines until water can barely pass through. Homeowners and property managers in Orlando often try snaking the line, only to find the same backup returns weeks later. That's because a snake punches a hole through the obstruction without removing it. The buildup remains, and it's only a matter of time before the line clogs again.
Lapin Services offers professional hydro jetting for residential and commercial properties across Central Florida. Using specialized equipment, our licensed technicians propel water at up to 4,000 PSI through the pipe, scouring the interior walls and flushing all debris downstream. The result isn't a temporary fix — it's a thoroughly clean line. Backed by 65+ years of plumbing expertise, a 4.9-star Google rating, and over 1,000 customer reviews, Lapin is the team Central Florida trusts to solve the problem once and for all.
Problems We Solve
Common Hydro Jetting Problems We Fix
Here are the issues our team commonly finds and resolves during hydro jetting calls across Central Florida.
Grease and Fat Buildup
Cooking grease, oils, and fats don't disappear when they go down the drain — they coat the pipe walls and harden over time. In kitchens and restaurants, FOG (fats, oils, grease) accumulation is one of the leading causes of sewer line blockages. Hydro jetting cuts through even heavy grease deposits and flushes them completely out of the system.
Tree Root Intrusion
Roots naturally migrate toward moisture and can penetrate pipe joints or small cracks over time. Even minor root intrusions act as a net — catching debris and causing progressive blockages. Hydro jetting at the right pressure can cut through root masses and clear the line, often in combination with a camera inspection to assess pipe condition.
Scale and Mineral Deposits
Florida's hard water leaves calcium and mineral scale on the interior walls of pipes, progressively narrowing the flow path. Standard drain cleaning tools can't remove scale buildup the way high-pressure water can. Hydro jetting strips scale from the pipe walls and restores full diameter flow.
Soap Scum and Debris Accumulation
Soap residue, hair, and debris bind together inside bathroom and laundry drain lines, creating stubborn blockages that resist chemical treatments and basic snaking. Hydro jetting thoroughly clears this buildup from the entire length of the line — not just the immediate clog.
Sewer Line Obstructions
Main sewer line obstructions can affect every drain and toilet in a building simultaneously. Whether the cause is accumulated waste, infiltrated debris, or partial root blockage, hydro jetting is one of the most effective methods for restoring full sewer line capacity without excavation.
When to Call
Signs Your Plumbing System Needs Professional Attention
If you notice any of these warning signs, schedule hydro jetting before the problem becomes more disruptive or expensive.
Drains That Clog Again and Again
If you've had a drain snaked or chemically treated multiple times and it keeps backing up, the underlying buildup was never fully removed. Hydro jetting cleans the entire pipe interior — not just the spot where flow stopped — eliminating the cause, not just the symptom.
Multiple Slow Drains at Once
When several drains in the same building slow down at the same time, the problem is likely in the shared main line rather than individual fixtures. This is a strong indicator that hydro jetting of the main sewer line may be needed.
Gurgling Sounds or Foul Odors
Gurgling noises from drains and toilets — or persistent sewer odors inside the building — often signal a partial blockage in the line. Trapped waste and gas can't move through properly, and the pressure finds its way back toward living spaces. Hydro jetting clears the obstruction and eliminates the source.
Water Backing Up Into Other Fixtures
If flushing a toilet causes water to back up into a shower or bathtub, you likely have a main line obstruction. This type of cross-backup is a clear sign the blockage is downstream of multiple fixtures and needs professional attention fast.
Slow Drains Despite Recent Cleaning
If a drain was recently cleaned but flow is already sluggish again, standard snaking didn't address the full extent of buildup in the pipe. Hydro jetting offers a deeper clean — treating the whole line rather than a single point — so results last significantly longer.

FAQs
Hydro Jetting FAQs
What is hydro jetting and how does it work?
Hydro jetting uses a specialized hose and nozzle to deliver high-pressure water — typically between 1,500 and 4,000 PSI — through a drain or sewer line. The pressurized water scours the interior pipe walls, breaking up and flushing away grease, scale, roots, debris, and other buildup. Unlike snaking, which only punctures a hole through a clog, hydro jetting cleans the full circumference of the pipe from end to end.
Is hydro jetting safe for my pipes?
Yes — when performed by a licensed professional on pipes in good condition. Before we jet any line, we perform a video camera inspection to assess pipe integrity. If a pipe shows significant cracking, corrosion, or deterioration, we’ll recommend repair before jetting so the pressure doesn’t cause further damage. Hydro jetting is safe for cast iron, PVC, clay, and most other pipe materials when used correctly.
How is hydro jetting different from drain snaking?
A drain snake (auger) is a rotating cable that bores through a clog or pulls out debris from one point in the pipe. It’s effective for simple blockages but leaves buildup on the pipe walls intact. Hydro jetting cleans the entire interior surface of the pipe, removing all accumulated grease, scale, and debris — not just the spot causing the immediate backup. For recurring or severe clogs, hydro jetting delivers results that last far longer.
How long does hydro jetting take?
Most residential hydro jetting jobs take between one and two hours from start to finish, including the pre-jetting camera inspection and post-jetting verification. Commercial jobs or severely impacted lines may take longer depending on the length of pipe and severity of buildup. We’ll give you a time estimate before we begin.
How often should I have my drains hydro jetted?
For residential properties, most homeowners won’t need hydro jetting more than once every few years — and many never need it until a persistent problem arises. Commercial kitchens and properties with heavy grease production typically benefit from annual or semi-annual preventive jetting to stay ahead of FOG buildup. We can assess your situation and recommend a maintenance schedule that makes sense for your property.
Can hydro jetting remove tree roots from pipes?
Yes. High-pressure hydro jetting can cut through and flush out root masses that have infiltrated drain or sewer lines. However, it does not prevent roots from re-entering through the same crack or joint. After jetting, our camera inspection will show where the roots entered. We’ll discuss whether a pipe repair or lining is needed to prevent re-intrusion.
Do you offer hydro jetting for commercial properties?
Yes. Lapin Services provides hydro jetting for restaurants, office buildings, retail centers, apartment communities, and other commercial properties throughout Central Florida. We handle grease trap service, main sewer line cleaning, storm drain jetting, and more — with the documentation and compliance support that property managers and facilities teams require.
