What Is Hydro Jetting?
Hydro jetting is a professional cleaning method that uses a high-pressure stream of water to clear blockages from stormwater infrastructure. Our equipment delivers water with enough force to dislodge sediment, grease, roots, and other obstructions, restoring pipes and basins to their full capacity. Unlike chemical treatments or mechanical rodding, hydro jetting cleans the entire interior surface of the pipe, helping prevent future buildup.
Why Hydro Jetting is Essential
Neglected stormwater systems can cause more than just slow drainage. Left unaddressed, blockages can lead to flooding, soil erosion, property damage, and violations from local authorities. In cities like Philadelphia, where compliance requirements are strict, hydro jetting is a critical preventive measure. By restoring full capacity and clearing inspection paths, you reduce the risk of sudden failures and protect your investment for the long term.

Stormwater Systems We Maintain
Retention Ponds
Permanent water features designed to hold a constant volume while managing additional runoff during heavy rain. Proper upkeep ensures healthy vegetation, erosion control, and consistent performance year-round.
Detention Ponds
Engineered basins that store rainwater temporarily and release it slowly to prevent flooding and erosion. Regular inspections keep outlets clear and flow rates consistent.
Grassed Swales
Shallow, vegetated channels that slow down runoff and promote infiltration. We maintain vegetation, grade, and flow paths to keep them effective for water quality and quantity control.
Infiltration Devices
Systems built with highly permeable soils to soak stormwater into the ground and recharge groundwater. Our service includes sediment removal and performance testing to ensure infiltration rates stay high.
Level Spreaders
Structures that convert concentrated runoff into sheet flow, reducing erosion and filtering pollutants. We clear debris and maintain level grading for even water distribution.
Outfalls
The final discharge points of your stormwater system. We inspect for blockages, erosion, and structural damage to keep water flowing safely away from your property.
Stormwater Vaults
Underground tanks that store and control stormwater flow before it enters downstream systems. We handle sediment removal, access inspections, and structural checks.
Catch Basins, Inlets, Grates, and Manholes
Entry points for stormwater into your system. We vacuum, jet, and clean these assets to prevent clogs and maintain capacity.
Storm Sewers and Culverts
Pipes and channels that transport water between stormwater assets. Our maintenance prevents buildup that could cause flooding or backups.
Hydrodynamic Separators
Specialized underground units that remove trash, debris, sediment, and oils from stormwater. We service these systems to maintain treatment efficiency.

Common Questions About Hydro Jetting
How often should stormwater systems be jetted in Philadelphia?
In Philadelphia and surrounding municipalities, most commercial and industrial properties benefit from professional jetting at least once a year. High-traffic sites or areas with heavy debris may require service every six months. Regular jetting prevents sediment buildup, keeps your system at full capacity, and ensures you pass inspections without delays. Our team can assess your specific site conditions to create a maintenance schedule that avoids costly emergency calls.
Can jetting fix a slow-draining stormwater system?
Absolutely. A slow-draining system often means debris or sediment is restricting the flow. Jetting scours the inside of pipes and structures, removing buildup on the sides and bottom so water can move freely again. Our approach also includes inspecting the system to identify if the slowdown is due to structural issues, which we can repair on the spot.
Will jetting damage my stormwater pipes?
When performed by trained professionals, jetting is safe for most stormwater pipes, including concrete, PVC, and HDPE. The pressure is carefully calibrated to remove debris without harming the pipe walls. Our team uses specialized nozzles and techniques designed for the type of system you have, so you get a thorough cleaning without any risk to your infrastructure.
What types of blockages can jetting remove?
Jetting can remove a wide range of blockages including sediment, silt, trash, organic debris, grease, mineral scale, and even invasive roots. It’s highly effective for both immediate clogs and general buildup that narrows a pipe over time.
How does jetting help with stormwater compliance?
In Philadelphia, passing stormwater inspections often depends on having clear, unobstructed flow through your system. Jetting removes blockages and buildup that can cause violations, flooding, or reduced capacity. By pairing jetting with our inspection services, we help you avoid costly Notices of Violation and stay in good standing with local regulators.
Can jetting be combined with other stormwater services?
Jetting works best when paired with other services like inspections or vault cleaning. Since we handle the full spectrum of stormwater maintenance, we can address related issues during the same visit without delaying your project.
How do I know if my property needs jetting right now?
Warning signs include slow drainage, frequent flooding, foul odors near drains, or visible debris buildup in catch basins. If you’ve recently received a Notice of Violation or failed an inspection, jetting is often the first step toward resolving the issue.
What happens if I skip jetting this year?
Failing to perform routine jetting can significantly shorten the lifespan of your stormwater infrastructure, leading to premature deterioration and much more expensive replacement costs down the line for your Philadelphia property.
