Hydro Jetting Services

Hydro jetting is a non-destructive pipe and sewer cleaning method that uses high-pressure water to remove internal buildup from piping systems, including grease, sediment, roots, and hardened debris within sewer and underground drainage networks.

SoftDig provides hydro jetting services for public and private infrastructure, including commercial, municipal, industrial, site, and facility utility systems, where thorough cleaning and pipe preservation are required.

Hydro jetting restores full pipe capacity by cleaning the entire internal diameter of the pipe, rather than cutting a narrow path through a blockage. Hydro jetting is used to:

• Remove grease, sludge, scale, and accumulated sediment

• Clear root intrusion and organic buildup

• Improve flow and hydraulic performance in sewer and stormwater systems

• Prepare pipelines for CCTV inspection or rehabilitation activities

• Support proactive and preventative maintenance programs

SoftDig’s hydro jetting services do not rely on chemicals or mechanical cutting, reducing the risk of pipe damage while delivering thorough, system-wide cleaning. 

SoftDig approaches hydro jetting as part of a comprehensive underground assessment and asset management process—not a standalone cleaning service. Each project begins with a technical evaluation of pipe material, diameter, condition, and system constraints to determine whether hydro jetting is appropriate and how it should be safely applied.

By integrating hydro jetting with complementary inspection and locating services, SoftDig helps clients reduce risk, improve system performance, and make informed decisions about underground infrastructure.

SoftDig’s integrated approach helps clients:

• Reduce risk to existing infrastructure

• Accurately document pipe condition and hydraulic performance

• Support proactive maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation planning

• Maintain long-term system reliability and flow efficiency

When hydro jetting is performed in conjunction with post-cleaning inspection, SoftDig can identify and document internal pipe conditions such as damage, leaks, offsets, connections, clogs, and junctions—providing clear visibility into both system condition and performance.

Inspection results may include full-color CCTV video, high-resolution imagery, and professional analysis summarizing observations, advisories, and recommendations. Where required, inspection findings can be integrated with GIS mapping data to create a spatially accurate, long-term record of underground assets.

This data-driven approach supports the development of a searchable infrastructure database, enabling improved asset management, regulatory compliance, and long-term planning across commercial, municipal, industrial, and utility systems.
