Professional Drain Cleaning That Actually Solves the Problem
A bottle of drain cleaner from the hardware store might clear a slow sink for a week. It won’t touch a grease-packed kitchen line, a root-infested sewer lateral, or a collapsed section of drain pipe. And it does nothing to tell you why the problem keeps coming back.
At Drain Jetters R Us, we diagnose the actual cause of the blockage and clear it properly — using professional equipment sized for the job, whether that’s a residential bathroom drain or a commercial sewer main. If the problem is structural rather than just a blockage, we tell you that too, so you’re not paying to clean a pipe that needs to be repaired.
What's Causing Your Drain to Back Up?
Most drain problems fall into one of these categories — and each one requires a different approach:
• Grease & Organic Buildup
The most common cause of kitchen and restaurant drain problems. Grease, food particles, and soap scum accumulate on pipe walls over time, progressively narrowing the line until flow slows to a trickle or stops entirely. Standard snaking punches a hole through the buildup; hydro jetting scours the full pipe wall clean.
• Tree & Shrub Root Intrusion
Roots follow water and find their way into sewer pipes through joints and small cracks, then grow inside the line and cause recurring blockages. Root cutting can clear the immediate obstruction, but if the pipe itself is damaged, lining or repair is the long-term fix.
• Foreign Objects & Debris
Wipes, paper products, hygiene items, and other non-flushables cause blockages in residential and commercial lines. In municipal systems, storm drain inlets collect leaves, sediment, and debris that restrict flow over time.
• Scale & Mineral Deposits
Hard water causes calcium and mineral scale to build up inside older metal pipes, restricting flow even when the pipe appears clear. Descaling and hydro jetting restore the full diameter.
• Structural Issues
A collapsed pipe section, a bellied line, or severe root damage means the pipe itself is the problem — not just what's in it. Cleaning provides temporary relief at best. A CCTV camera inspection identifies structural problems before further cleaning money is wasted.
Our Drain Cleaning Methods
We use the right tool for the job — not a one-size-fits-all approach.
• Drain Snaking (Mechanical Rodding)
A motorized snake breaks up and clears blockages in residential drain lines, toilets, and lateral pipes. Effective for soft organic clogs and isolated obstructions. Fast and straightforward for most residential callouts.
• Hydro Jetting
High-pressure water jetting is the most thorough drain cleaning method available. A specialized nozzle scours the full circumference of the pipe wall, removing grease, scale, roots, and compacted debris that snaking can't reach. The preferred method for commercial kitchens, grease traps, and heavily built-up residential lines.
• CCTV Inspection + Cleaning
For recurring blockages, or any situation where the cause isn't clear, we combine camera inspection with drain cleaning. The camera shows us exactly what we're dealing with before we start — ensuring the cleaning method matches the problem and confirming the line is fully clear after the work is done.
• Root Cutting
Mechanical root cutting removes root intrusions from sewer laterals and mains. For pipes where root intrusion has caused structural damage, we follow up with a camera inspection and discuss lining or repair options.
Types of Drains We Service
Commercial & Municipal Drain Cleaning
Residential drain cleaning and commercial drain cleaning are different jobs. Commercial and municipal systems run at higher volumes, involve larger-diameter pipes, and often have zero tolerance for extended downtime. Our team is equipped for both.
• Restaurants & Food Service
Kitchen drain lines and grease traps in food service environments build up faster than almost any other application. A blocked kitchen drain during service hours is an immediate health code and revenue problem. We respond quickly, work around your schedule, and offer scheduled maintenance programs to keep commercial kitchen drainage running year-round.
• Apartment Buildings & Multi-Family Properties
Shared drain lines in multi-unit buildings collect waste from dozens of units and back up in ways that affect multiple residents at once. We locate the blockage in the shared line — not just the individual unit — and clear it properly. For buildings with recurring stack or main line issues, we can assess whether pipe lining is the more cost-effective long-term solution.
• Industrial & Warehouse Facilities
Floor drains, trench drains, and process drainage in industrial settings handle heavy volumes of debris, sediment, and industrial waste. We provide industrial-grade cleaning for high-capacity systems that standard residential equipment can't handle.
• Municipal Storm Drains & Catch Basins
Blocked storm drains and catch basins are a flooding risk and a maintenance liability. We provide routine and emergency cleaning for municipal storm drainage networks — clearing sediment, debris, and root intrusion from inlets, catch basins, and underground storm lines.

When Drain Cleaning Isn't Enough
Sometimes the camera shows us something cleaning can’t fix. If your drain inspection reveals any of the following, we’ll recommend the appropriate next step rather than continuing to clean a pipe that has a structural problem:
- Cracked or fractured pipe — trenchless pipe lining restores the pipe from the inside without excavation.Â
- Collapsed or severely deteriorated sections — may require spot repair, pipe bursting, or in some cases excavation and replacement.
- Widespread stack corrosion in a multi-story building — vertical stack lining is often the most practical solution.Â
- Significant root damage — root cutting plus pipe lining addresses both the symptom and the cause.
We won’t keep charging you for drain cleaning on a pipe that needs to be fixed. You’ll get a straight answer and a clear recommendation.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What's the difference between drain snaking and hydro jetting?
Snaking uses a mechanical auger to break up or pull out a blockage. It’s effective for soft clogs and isolated obstructions. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the full pipe wall clean — it removes grease, scale, and root debris that snaking leaves behind. For heavily built-up lines or commercial systems, hydro jetting provides a much more thorough and longer-lasting result.
Why does my drain keep blocking even after it's been cleaned?
Recurring blockages usually mean one of two things: either the cleaning method isn’t fully clearing the line, or there’s an underlying structural issue — root intrusion through a cracked joint, a bellied pipe section collecting debris, or a deteriorated pipe that needs repair rather than repeated cleaning. A CCTV camera inspection gives you a definitive answer.
Can you clear a completely blocked sewer line?
Yes. We handle full sewer line blockages for residential, commercial, and municipal clients. Depending on what the camera shows, we’ll use mechanical rodding, hydro jetting, or root cutting — or a combination — to restore full flow.
Do you offer emergency drain cleaning?
Yes. We’re available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for emergency drain and sewer callouts. If you have a backup that can’t wait, call us directly at (908) 774-9922.
Do you offer scheduled drain cleaning for commercial properties?
Yes. We work with restaurants, property managers, and facilities teams to set up regular maintenance schedules — keeping commercial drainage systems clear year-round and reducing the likelihood of emergency callouts. Contact us to discuss a program that fits your property.
Is your drain cleaning service safe for older pipes?
Yes. We assess pipe condition before choosing a cleaning method and adjust our approach accordingly. For fragile or deteriorated pipes, we use lower-pressure settings and avoid methods that could cause further damage. If the pipe is beyond cleaning, we’ll tell you before we start.
