Free Estimate
As a plumber who's been serving Orlando families for years, I've seen my share of drain emergencies – from backed-up kitchen sinks during holiday gatherings near Lake Eola to completely blocked sewer lines in the historic College Park neighborhood. Just last month, I helped a family on Colonial Drive whose main drain line had been slowly building up years of grease, hair, and debris until it finally gave out completely during their daughter's graduation party.
That's when professional drain jetting becomes absolutely essential. Unlike simple snaking or chemical cleaners that only poke holes through clogs, high-pressure water jetting completely scours your pipes clean, removing years of buildup that causes recurring blockages. When your drains are backing up, creating unsanitary conditions, or causing water damage to your Orlando home, you need a solution that works the first time.
At Brightwater Plumbing, we've invested in state-of-the-art hydro-jetting equipment that can handle everything from minor kitchen sink clogs to major sewer line blockages. Our approach is always honest and straightforward – we'll show you exactly what we find, explain your options clearly, and provide fair pricing with no surprise charges. Whether you're dealing with a persistent slow drain in Winter Park or a complete backup in downtown Orlando, our drain jetting service gets to the root of the problem and prevents future issues.
What Is Professional Drain Jetting?
Professional drain jetting uses high-pressure water streams (up to 4,000 PSI) to completely clean your pipes from the inside out. Unlike traditional snaking that simply punches through clogs, our hydro-jetting equipment scours away grease, soap scum, hair, and even tree roots that have invaded your sewer lines. This is particularly important in Orlando's older neighborhoods like Thornton Park and Delaney Park, where mature oak trees often send roots searching for water sources in aging pipe systems.
Our specialized nozzles are designed for different pipe materials and blockage types. For Orlando homes with older cast iron pipes, we use gentler pressure settings to avoid damage, while newer PVC systems can handle our full-power cleaning. This local expertise means we know exactly how to handle the unique plumbing challenges found throughout Central Florida.
Our Drain Jetting Process
Every drain jetting service begins with a thorough video inspection using our pipe cameras. This allows us to see exactly what's causing your blockage and determine the best approach. In Orlando's sandy soil conditions, we often find that pipes shift over time, creating bellies where debris collects – something we can identify and address during our inspection.
We then select the appropriate jetting nozzle and pressure setting for your specific situation. Our process includes protecting your fixtures, clearing the blockage with precision water pressure, and conducting a final camera inspection to ensure complete cleaning. We always explain what we're doing and show you the before-and-after footage so you can see the dramatic difference.
When You Need Emergency Drain Jetting
Orlando homeowners often call us for emergency drain jetting when multiple drains back up simultaneously, sewage odors appear in their yard, or water starts bubbling up from floor drains. These are signs of main sewer line blockages that require immediate professional attention. With Orlando's frequent summer storms, we also see emergency calls when heavy rains overwhelm already-compromised drain systems.
Our 24/7 emergency service means we're available when you need us most – whether it's a holiday weekend or the middle of a Central Florida thunderstorm. We carry our jetting equipment on every service truck, so we can often resolve your emergency in a single visit.
Long-Term Benefits for Orlando Homes
Regular drain jetting prevents the buildup that leads to emergency situations. For Orlando homes, we recommend annual jetting service, especially if you have older pipes or mature trees on your property. This preventive approach saves money compared to emergency repairs and helps avoid the water damage that can be so costly in our humid climate.
Our jetting service also helps identify potential problems before they become major issues. When we clean your pipes, we can spot early signs of pipe deterioration, root intrusion, or settling that commonly affects Central Florida homes built on sandy soil.
Deep Orlando Area Expertise
Having served the Orlando metro area for years, I've worked on everything from historic homes in Colonialtown to new construction in Dr. Phillips. This experience has taught me the unique drainage challenges each neighborhood faces. The older cast iron pipes in Winter Park require different techniques than the PVC systems in newer Windermere developments. I understand how Central Florida's limestone bedrock affects drainage, why certain areas flood during summer storms, and which neighborhoods are most prone to root intrusion from our beautiful but invasive oak trees.
My team and I have cleared thousands of drains throughout Orange County, from downtown high-rises to suburban family homes in Oviedo and Apopka. We know the local soil conditions, understand the impact of Florida's water table on your plumbing, and can predict seasonal drainage issues before they become emergencies.
Community Involvement and Recognition
As a local business owner, I believe in giving back to the Orlando community that has supported Brightwater Plumbing's growth. We've provided emergency plumbing services during hurricane recovery efforts and regularly participate in local home and garden shows at the Orange County Convention Center. Our commitment to honest, dependable service has earned us recognition from local homeowner associations and consistent five-star reviews from neighbors throughout the region.
We're proud members of the Orlando Regional Chamber of Commerce and maintain all required Florida state licensing and insurance. More importantly, we're your neighbors – we live in the same communities we serve and understand the importance of treating every home like our own.
Real Orlando Customer Success Stories
Last summer, a family in Baldwin Park called us in a panic when their main sewer line backed up during their son's birthday party. Using our high-pressure jetting equipment, we cleared a massive root intrusion that had been building for years, restoring full drainage in under two hours. They were amazed at how thorough our cleaning was and grateful we could save their celebration.
Another recent success involved a restaurant owner near International Drive whose kitchen drains were backing up daily, threatening their business operations. Our commercial-grade jetting equipment removed years of grease buildup, and we've helped them establish a maintenance schedule that keeps their drains flowing perfectly. Stories like these happen every week because Orlando property owners know they can count on Brightwater Plumbing for honest assessments and dependable results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Brightwater Plumbing provides expert plumbing services in Orlando, including leak repair, drain cleaning, water heaters, repiping, and more.
What does hydro jetting involve for drain cleaning?
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water streams (typically 3,000-8,000 PSI) to blast away clogs, debris, grease, and buildup from drain and sewer pipes.
Hydro jetting is a professional drain cleaning method that employs specialized equipment to propel pressurized water through your plumbing system. A plumber inserts a hose with a specialized nozzle into the drain line, then releases powerful water jets that scour pipe walls clean while flushing blockages toward the main sewer. This technique effectively removes grease, mineral deposits, tree roots, and years of accumulated debris, restoring pipes to near-original condition without harsh chemicals.
Can hydro jetting cause harm to your plumbing pipes?
When performed by trained professionals using appropriate pressure settings, hydro jetting is safe for most pipes, but can damage old, corroded, or already compromised plumbing systems.
Hydro jetting is generally safe when conducted properly, but risks exist for vulnerable pipes. Older clay, cast iron, or severely corroded pipes may crack under high pressure. Weakened joints, existing cracks, or pipes damaged by root intrusion are particularly susceptible. Professional plumbers typically perform video inspections before jetting to assess pipe condition and adjust pressure accordingly. Modern PVC and copper pipes handle hydro jetting well. Experienced technicians use appropriate PSI levels (lower for residential lines) to effectively clean without causing damage.
What's the average duration of a hydro jetting service?
Most residential hydro jetting services take 1-3 hours to complete, though severe blockages, extensive root systems, or complex plumbing layouts may require additional time.
Standard drain jetting typically requires one to three hours, including setup, cleaning, and post-service inspection. Simple kitchen or bathroom drain cleaning may take just 30-60 minutes, while main sewer line jetting with multiple access points takes longer. Additional time is needed if camera inspection is performed beforehand or if multiple blockages exist throughout the system. Severely compacted debris or extensive root intrusion can extend service to 4-5 hours. Emergency services may work faster but often require return visits for thorough cleaning.
Is it possible to hydro jet drains yourself as a DIY project?
While homeowners can rent hydro jetting equipment ($100-$200/day), it's generally not recommended due to the risk of pipe damage, personal injury, and the specialized knowledge required for safe operation.
DIY hydro jetting is technically possible with rental equipment, but carries significant risks for inexperienced users. Improper pressure settings can crack pipes, damage joints, or cause sewage backups into your home. Professional plumbers understand pipe materials, appropriate pressure levels, and proper nozzle selection for different clogs. Additionally, identifying underlying issues like collapsed pipes or severe root intrusion requires expertise and camera inspection equipment. For minor clogs, drain snakes or enzymatic cleaners offer safer DIY alternatives.
Will homeowners insurance pay for clogged drain repairs?
Homeowners insurance typically doesn't cover clogged drains caused by normal wear, poor maintenance, or gradual deterioration, but may cover sudden, accidental damage from specific covered perils.
Standard homeowners insurance policies exclude drain clogs resulting from lack of maintenance, aging, or normal use. However, coverage may apply if blockages result from covered events like vandalism, vehicle impact, or sudden accidental discharge. Some policies offer optional water backup endorsements ($50-$250 annually) that cover sewer and drain backups. Always review your specific policy and contact your insurer before assuming coverage. Documentation with photos and professional assessments strengthens potential claims for covered incidents.
Can hydro jetting remove tree roots from sewer lines?
Yes, hydro jetting effectively cuts and removes tree roots from sewer lines using specialized rotating nozzles, though severely compacted root masses may require mechanical cutting first.
Hydro jetting successfully removes most tree root intrusions using high-pressure water and specialized root-cutting nozzles that spin while blasting forward. The powerful streams slice through roots and flush debris downstream. For moderate root growth, jetting alone suffices. Extensive root systems may require initial mechanical cutting with a root saw attachment on a drain snake, followed by hydro jetting to clean remaining material. Afterward, regular preventive jetting or chemical root treatments help slow regrowth and maintain clear pipes.
