Hydro Jetting in Gretna, NE
Hydro jetting clears drain and sewer lines with a high-pressure stream of water (up to ~4,000 PSI) that scours buildup off the entire pipe wall, not just punching a hole through the middle like a cable can. JTM Plumbing & Drain uses hydro jetting to clear grease, sludge, scale, and tree roots from residential and commercial lines across Gretna and Omaha, and we camera the line first so we're jetting the right pipe at the right pressure.
Serving the metro since 2004, we use jetting where it actually solves the problem, and recommend the lighter, cheaper cable when that's all you need. Call Gretna (402) 203-6193 or Omaha (402) 933-3690.
When hydro jetting is the right call
- Recurring clogs that come back weeks after snaking
- Grease-clogged kitchen and restaurant lines
- Tree-root intrusion in older Omaha sewer lines
- Heavy scale buildup in aging cast-iron pipe
- Main sewer lines with sludge and sediment
- Commercial drains: restaurants, salons, property management
Older Omaha neighborhoods run cast-iron and clay sewer lines with joints that mature tree roots love to invade, and once roots are in, snaking only trims them temporarily. Jetting cuts and flushes them out. In kitchens and restaurants across the metro, grease is the other big culprit; jetting is the only thing that truly removes a grease coating. We always camera first so we know which problem we're solving.

Signs You Need Hydro Jetting

A cable only punches through the middle. Jetting scours the full pipe wall so it stays clear.
Grease-Clogged Kitchen or Restaurant Lines
Jetting is the only thing that truly removes a grease coating.
Tree Roots Invading the Line
Common in older Omaha sewer joints. Jetting cuts and flushes roots out.
Heavy Scale in Aging Pipe
Cast-iron lines build up scale over time. Jetting restores near-original diameter.
Also handled
- Main sewer lines with sludge and sediment
- Commercial drains: restaurants, salons, property management
OUR PROCESS
Camera the Line
We begin with a detailed inspection of your plumbing system using video camera technology. This helps us identify the exact location and nature of the blockage.
Hydro Jetting
Once the trouble spot is located, we use high-pressure water jetting equipment to clear the line from the inside out, breaking apart grease, sediment, and root intrusion without harsh chemicals or damage to your pipes.
Final Assessment
After the cleaning, we conduct a final camera inspection to ensure the blockages are completely removed and your pipes are in excellent condition.
What our customers say
Hydro jetting vs. snaking: which do you need?
- A drain snake (cable) is great for a typical one-off clog and is the lower-cost option, we reach for it first whenever it'll do the job.
- Hydro jetting is the right call when buildup coats the whole pipe wall, when clogs keep returning, or when roots and heavy grease are involved, because it cleans the line back to near-original diameter.

For most pipes, yes. We camera the line first and adjust pressure to match it. If a pipe is badly deteriorated, jetting could expose a failure, which is exactly why we inspect before jetting and recommend repair if the pipe is compromised.
A snake punches through a clog; jetting scours the entire pipe wall clean with high-pressure water. Snaking is cheaper and fine for one-off clogs. Jetting is better for grease, roots, scale, and recurring clogs.
Most homes only need it when there's a recurring problem. Restaurants and commercial kitchens often schedule it every 3–12 months to stay ahead of grease.
Yes. Jetting cuts and flushes roots out far more thoroughly than a cable. If roots keep returning, we'll camera to find the cracked joint letting them in and discuss a spot repair or full replacement.
