Hydro Jetting for Commercial Drains
For restaurants, salons, clinics, and retail buildings with recurring drain issues, commercial hydro jetting in Cortland is one of the most effective services JMS offers.
Hydro jetting blasts pipes clean using up to 4,000 PSI of high-pressure water, scrubbing the walls of your drain lines to remove:
- Grease buildup
- Soap scum
- Biofilm and bacteria
- Sludge and food waste
- Mineral scale
- Hair and product residue
- Sediment from roof or storm drains
- Tree roots and obstructions
JMS uses forward- and rear-facing jetting nozzles to clean drains fully and push debris out of your building's system — leaving your pipes flowing like new.
Commercial Sewer Line Cleaning
Slow building-wide drainage or backflow from floor drains often means a main sewer line clog. JMS provides commercial sewer line cleaning to eliminate blockages from roots, grease, and collapsed pipe segments.
We combine mechanical root cutting, hydro jetting, and camera inspection to clear the line and identify any structural concerns that need follow-up repairs.
Common signs of sewer trouble include:
- Gurgling drains
- Water backing up in floor sinks or basins
- Toilets not flushing
- Sewer odors
- Wastewater around cleanouts or floor drains
Whether you're running a restaurant, managing an apartment complex, or preparing for an inspection, JMS is here to get your sewer lines clean — and keep them that way.
