FAST, RELIABLE & EXPERIENCED

Preventative Drain Maintenance for Restaurants, Commercial Facilities & Municipal Systems

High pressure water jetting, also known as hydro jetting, uses specialized equipment to clean the interior walls of drain and sewer lines using powerful streams of water.


Unlike traditional drain cleaning methods that simply punch through a blockage, water jetting removes grease, sludge, food waste, scale, debris, and other buildup that accumulates over time.


This process helps restore flow capacity, reduce recurring clogs, and extend the life of your wastewater infrastructure.

What Is High Pressure Water Jetting?

Commercial Drain Line Cleaning for Restaurants & Food Service Facilities

Restaurants, cafeterias, grocery stores, convenience stores, and food production facilities generate significant amounts of grease and organic waste every day. Over time, this material accumulates inside drain lines and can lead to backups, foul odors, fruit fly infestations, and costly plumbing emergencies.


Routine drain line jetting can help:

  • Remove hardened grease buildup
  • Improve drainage throughout the facility
  • Reduce odors in kitchens and prep areas
  • Minimize fruit fly and pest issues
  • Prevent floor drain backups
  • Protect grease traps and interceptors
  • Reduce costly emergency service calls


Our technicians also perform a comprehensive inspection during each service visit to identify potential concerns before they become larger problems.

John Kline Septic Services works with a wide range of commercial and municipal clients throughout Central Pennsylvania.


Our jetting services are commonly used for:


  • Commercial kitchen drain lines
  • Grease interceptor lines
