Hydro Jetting in Clifton, NJ
Scale in old cast iron and grease in busy kitchen lines narrow Clifton pipes over time. Hydro jetting scours them clean so water moves freely again. Quoted before work begins.
Quick answer: Yes. Flour, grease and food solids stick to kitchen line walls and narrow the pipe. Jetting removes that buildup more completely than a cable. Many Main Avenue and Van Houten Avenue businesses schedule it on a regular basis.
Clifton"s restaurants, bakeries and delis along Main Avenue, Van Houten Avenue and the Route 3 and Route 46 corridors are some of the most frequent users of hydro jetting. Grease, flour and food solids coat kitchen lines, and a cable only opens a narrow path through them. A jetting nozzle sprays water backward at high pressure against the pipe walls, stripping that layer off and carrying it downstream. The result is a line back to full size, which usually means fewer backups during service.
In older homes, jetting removes rust scale from cast iron stacks and branch lines common in prewar Clifton houses, and it clears root fibers left behind after cutting a clay lateral. We camera the line before jetting a lateral, since some postwar fiber pipe in Allwood and Richfield may be too worn for high pressure. If we see damage, we record the footage, mark the location and depth, and give you a written finding.
Local tip: Clifton bakeries should pay attention to flour as well as grease. Flour mixed with water forms a paste that sticks inside drain lines, so scrape bowls and boards into the trash before washing.

Yes. Jetting removes scale and rust buildup from cast iron stacks and branches, restoring flow for both units. We use a nozzle suited to older pipe and check the line on camera if we have any concerns about its condition.
Yes, after a camera check. Some postwar homes there have Orangeburg fiber laterals that can be fragile. If the camera shows the pipe is sound, jetting cleans it thoroughly. If not, we use another method and give you a written finding.
Snaking opens a channel, but grease stays stuck to the walls and closes it again. Jetting scours the walls clean. For restaurants with frequent backups, jetting usually lasts much longer between visits.
