Main line hydro jetting for whole-property drainage issues where the primary sewer run needs a deeper cleaning and better full-line flow.
What you are seeing
The main line has been cleared two or three times. It opens up for a while, then the whole house slows down again - the floor drain backs up, the toilets are sluggish, and the shower gurgles when the washer runs. The cable keeps punching through the same spot, but the buildup on the pipe walls stays put.
Main line hydro jetting strips the residue off the full length of the main run so the pipe opens back to its original diameter - not just a narrow channel through the middle of the buildup.
Who this is for
Homeowners and property managers where the main line - the shared trunk that connects every fixture to the sewer - keeps restricting after repeated cable clearing because the pipe walls are still coated with grease, roots, sediment, or scale.
Main line hydro jetting is for the primary run itself. It is the step up from main line drain cleaning when standard clearing cannot keep the line open long enough between visits.
What you walk away with
The main line gets jetted wall to wall. The camera confirms the pipe walls are clean and the full diameter is restored - not just that water is passing through.
If the camera shows pipe damage, root entry points, offsets, or structural issues that jetting alone cannot solve, you see the footage on site and get a direct explanation of what comes next.
Problem
Main lines accumulate buildup over their entire length - not just at one blockage point. Grease, sediment, root fragments, and mineral scale coat the pipe walls gradually. Cable clearing punches through the worst restriction, but the coating along the rest of the run stays in place. The pipe diameter stays narrowed, flow stays reduced, and the next blockage forms faster because the walls are already half-coated. That is why the main line keeps failing every few months even though it gets cleared every time - the clearing is not cleaning enough of the pipe to break the cycle.
Main line hydro jetting is the pressure-cleaning step up from main line drain cleaning - focused on the shared primary run within the broader hydro jetting service family when cable clearing alone cannot keep the main line open between visits.
The goal is to clean the full length of the main run - pipe wall to pipe wall - so the line holds at full capacity instead of narrowing back down within weeks or months.
Solution
The main line is the trunk that carries everything. When it narrows, every fixture in the building feels it - lower drains back up first, then the system slows down floor by floor. Cable clearing opens a path through the worst restriction, but the rest of the pipe wall stays coated. The narrowing continues from where it left off.
Main line hydro jetting sends a high-pressure nozzle through the full main run. At 3,850 PSI, it fires backward against the pipe walls and strips grease, sediment, root fragments, and scale off the full length of the line. The pipe goes from a coated, narrowed trunk back to its original diameter - and the camera travels the line after jetting to confirm the result before we leave.

Leave a Review!Amazing experience! They are knowledgeable, kind, courteous and very thorough. Our clogged kitchen pipe was a bit of a challenge but they kept going and did everything they could to get it unclogged and they did it! They were very upfront with what caused the clog, gave us video recording of our pipes so we can see exactly what was done, double checked to make sure the pipes were clean and free of clogs and gave us steps on how to maintain the pipes moving forward. Highly recommend!!
I had an Emergency pipe back up AJ and Jake came snaked and got it all jetted out and cleaned up quick and for a really fair price! Anyone in need I would highly recommend
Very professional, quick and efficient work definitely would recommend
Highly recommend, very quick and easy to work with crew, drain cleaned my main sewer line professionally and well done.
This company is Awesome!!! Highly recommend that you call them for your drain cleaning and power washing needs! A++ in service, cost, and quality of work. Alex and Jacob completed drain work, patio cleaning, and filled in cracks in cement. The patio looks brand new! Thank you Alex and Jacob!!!
Alex was very good to work with. They were professional and punctual, working around my schedule. They were able to show me exactly before and after, even showing footage inside my pipes, which I have never seen before. I would recommend them.
Why Mountain West
3,850 PSI jetting capability
Clears lines 2 to 12 inches in diameter at 3,850 PSI and 8 GPM with 300 feet of reach. That covers the full main line run on most residential and commercial properties - enough pressure to strip hardened grease, root mass, and mineral scale off the pipe walls.
Camera rated to 200 feet
Scopes up to 200 feet of main line with live footage review so you see the wall condition before and after jetting - roots, buildup, offsets, or clean pipe, confirmed on screen.
Jetting and camera on every call
Hydro jetting equipment deploys on every service call. The camera verifies the jetting result wall to wall before we leave - no assumptions about what the inside of the pipe looks like.
20+ years combined field experience
Not a new crew guessing at your main line.

Main line jetting starts by confirming the multi-fixture pattern, then goes straight to the primary run to clean the full length of the pipe.
You leave the visit with every fixture draining at full speed, camera footage of the clean main line, and a clear answer on whether jetting solved the problem or the pipe itself needs further work.
Jetting cleans the pipe. But when the camera shows a reason the buildup keeps forming - root entry through cracked joints, a collapsed section, a belly holding debris, or pipe material that is failing - the conversation moves from cleaning into inspection and repair. These services cover what comes next.
Evidence
When roots are growing into the main line through pipe joints or cracks, jetting removes them but they return through the same entry points. Camera inspection maps the damage and repair addresses it permanently.
When the main line has a belly, offset, or sag that holds water and debris, the buildup re-forms at that low point no matter how clean the rest of the pipe is. That is structural - not a cleaning problem.
When the jetting reveals the issue extends past the main line into the sewer run between the building and the city connection, the scope moves from main line hydro jetting into sewer hydro jetting for the longer run.

Main line hydro jetting solves whole-property drainage issues caused by grease, sediment, root fragments, and mineral scale coating the primary sewer run. It strips the pipe walls clean across the full length of the main line - not just the blockage point - for properties where repeated cable clearing has stopped lasting.
Homeowners and property managers where the main line keeps failing after repeated clearing, multiple fixtures back up together, and the whole building drains slowly because the shared trunk pipe is coated and narrowed.
The technician confirms the multi-fixture pattern, accesses the main line through the cleanout, jets the full run at 3,850 PSI to strip the pipe walls clean, and cameras the line afterward to confirm full-diameter restoration and check for hidden pipe damage.
Know how many times the main line has been cleared, how long each fix lasted, and which fixtures back up together. If prior camera work has been done, mention what was found. That history determines whether the main line is a jetting candidate or needs inspection first.
