What affects your hydro-jetting scope
- Pipe diameter: larger pipe needs larger nozzles and more water volume.
- Debris type: soft silt jets fast. Roots, grease, and hardened concrete slurry take multiple passes.
- Whether it's holding water: a submerged line needs a vac truck running the whole time. Dewatering is addressed in the written scope.
- Length: longer continuous runs take more time. Short one-off segments carry more mobilization.
- Access: can we back the jetter to the upstream structure, or do we need traffic control and long hose pulls?
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much does hydro-jetting a storm drain cost?
Hydro-jetting is $1,750 half day or $3,200 full day. We set the written scope from pipe diameter, debris, access and water conditions. Standalone mobilization is $250, waived on maintenance plans. Emergency/same-day service adds 35%.
Why does a water-holding pipe cost more?
When a storm drain is submerged or won't drain, the jet crew has to vacuum out water at the downstream structure continuously to keep the line workable, and the nozzle can't verify progress visually. It's more crew, more truck time, and often a follow-up CCTV pass.
What determines the quoted scope?
Four things matter. Pipe diameter: larger pipe needs larger nozzles and higher water volume. Debris type: soft silt jets fast, but roots and hardened FOG take multiple passes. Length: longer runs take more crew time. Access: can we back the jetter to the upstream structure?
Do I need CCTV afterward?
Not always. For routine PM we skip it. For root intrusion, recurring blockages, or before a recertification, add CCTV at $1,750 diagnostic up to 300 ft, then $15 per additional foot to prove the line is clear.
Is basin cleaning included?
No, jetting is the pipe. The basins on either end need vacuuming separately ($1,500 job minimum up to 5 structures; $130 to $275 per structure on larger jobs, with heavy or treatment structures adding $150 each). Most jobs bundle both on one mobilization to save the trip charge.
