Hydrojetting in Tigard

Fast Relief For Backed-Up Drains

When drains back up into your tub, kitchen sink, or floor drains, you do not have time to guess at solutions. For severe or recurring clogs, hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to clear heavy buildup that basic plunging or chemicals often leave behind. At Zoom Drain of Portland, our team helps homeowners and small businesses in Tigard get stubborn lines flowing again with professional equipment and careful assessments.

We understand how stressful it is to deal with wastewater on your floors or toilets that keep backing up. Our technicians focus on finding the real cause of the blockage and matching it with the right method, whether that is hydro jetting or another approach. You stay informed at every step, from the first call through cleanup.

Many of the toughest clogs occur in main sewer lines, restaurant drains, or long kitchen lines where grease, sludge, and scale build up over time. In older neighborhoods in Tigard with mature trees, roots can also invade sewer pipes and slow everything down. Our goal is to give you fast relief now and a cleaner line that is better prepared for future use.

Our specialized jetting strips away hardened fats to keep your business open and your drains clear. Call us at (503) 308-7545 or schedule service online.

How Our Hydro Jetting Process Works

Knowing what to expect can make scheduling hydro jetting feel much less stressful. When you contact Zoom Drain of Portland, our team starts by listening to what you are seeing, such as gurgling sounds, sewage backing up, or slow drains throughout the property. We ask questions about your plumbing history, including any past snaking, repairs, or known root issues, so we can plan an effective visit.

On-site, our technician locates the best access point for the line, which may be a cleanout in your yard, a basement access, or a roof vent. We evaluate the situation, including how your fixtures are behaving and any signs that could point to a main line trouble spot. When hydro jetting is appropriate, we set up the jetting machine and hoses carefully to protect your floors, landscaping, and walls.

The jetting hose is fed into the pipe, and a special nozzle directs streams of high-pressure water against the pipe wall. We adjust the pressure to suit the type and condition of your plumbing, because a newer plastic line can tolerate different settings than an older, more fragile pipe. As the nozzle moves through the line, the water breaks up thick grease, sludge, scale, and many common obstructions that cling to the walls, not just the single clog.

During the process, we monitor how the line responds and make adjustments as needed. After jetting, our technician checks the flow by running water through fixtures or performing other practical checks to confirm that waste is moving as it should. When appropriate, we may recommend pairing jetting with inspection, which can reveal pipe damage, heavy root intrusion, or other issues that jetting cannot correct on its own.

Once the line is cleared, we remove our equipment, wipe up any water around access areas, and leave the work area as tidy as possible. Before we go, we review what we found and explain any next steps that could help maintain your drains, such as periodic cleaning for heavy-use kitchens or further evaluation if we suspect structural pipe problems.

    Leland Hunefeld
I had another company come out the day before, and under duress of wanting to get my life back and my bathroom, I agreed to have him come out and dig up pipes at a cost of $6,500. However, upon further thought, I read about possible causes of the backup, and it said the most likely cause was sludge and that a jetter was the best way to clear it out. So I called up Angie's List, and they got me Zoom Drains, and when I tell you these guys are heroes, Dan Nelson showed up on Easter Sunday at 10:00 in the morning, and after a fierce battle we beat the sludge monster back to his hole in the sewer, and my pipes are flowing clean and I got my bathroom back. That man cemented his hero status today in my book.
Kevin Kosik
Liked him. Efficient and nice. Explained everything and got it all working. Had to clear drains in garage for washing machine. Also cleared lines to kitchen sink, garbage disposal, dishwasher. I would definitely recommend him and hire him again.

George Fay
Dan is a competent and friendly guy! We have a 1920 farmhouse with an addition on it from the 1950’s. We were having problems with the drainage and couldn’t figure out why and the layout of the pipes. Dan got on the roof and put a scope down the vents, and could tell us where the blockage is and what the risks were of blasting water in there vs. digging trenches to unclog. We really appreciate him being so knowledgeable about drainage systems. We’ll be using him for our farm on this project and more. Great guy.
Connie Vancil
They were quick to call back after hours and scheduled as soon as the next day. Pricing was affordable and communication was great. They fixed our problem and the sink has been working great since! Thank you! Highly recommended!
Patty Barrington
My kitchen sink was seriously clogged, and all attempts on my part to find and/or clear the problem were unsuccessful. I called Zoom Drain on a Saturday evening and made an appointment for Sunday morning (no additional weekend charge - bonus!). Dan arrived on time, had the problem fixed in under an hour, gave me some tips on how to avoid having this happen again, and was very professional, efficient, and knowledgeable. If I could give him 10 stars, I would - yes, he was that good!
Holly Bailey
I was expecting a week wait and over a thousand dollar visit given a previous plumbing experience. Zoom came out in an hour and had the problem fixed in another half hour. Only charged $350. I think the guy's name was Dan? Strongly recommend this company.
Gregory Meyer
I had some draining issues, and these guys were there within a few hours and did a great job with reasonable prices. This is the second time I have used Zoom Drain for different issues since it’s an older place built in 1960.

Dan was a very personable person. He let me know exactly what was going on. I was sure I was going to have to tear up my basement to fix the problem. Some day soon I may need to get a new line to the street. However, for now I have clear drainage.
