A clogged sewer line is one of the most frustrating plumbing problems a homeowner can face. When drains back up, smells rise, and nothing seems to flush right, the culprit is often deep in the main sewer line. That’s where hydro jetting—also known as sewer line jetting—comes in.
At Bassett Services, we use state-of-the-art jetting technology to blast away years of buildup, restoring your plumbing to like-new condition. Here’s what Indianapolis homeowners should know about this powerful service.
What Is Main Sewer Line Jetting?
Sewer line jetting is a high-pressure cleaning method that clears blockages and buildup inside your sewer pipes using a stream of water up to 4,000 PSI. Think of it like a pressure washer for your sewer system.
Unlike snaking, which only punches a hole through the clog, jetting scrubs the entire interior of the pipe, removing:
- Grease
- Sludge
- Tree roots
- Scale buildup
- Debris and foreign objects
How the Jetting Process Works
- Initial Sewer Camera Inspection
We begin with a video inspection to locate the clog and assess the pipe’s condition. - Jetting Setup
Our technician inserts a special hose connected to a high-pressure water jetting machine into your main sewer cleanout. - High-Pressure Cleaning
Water is blasted through the sewer line at precise angles to dislodge and flush away years of gunk. - Post-Jetting Camera Check
We inspect the pipe again to ensure it’s fully cleared and there’s no damage or cracks.

Signs You Might Need Sewer Line Jetting
If you’re experiencing one or more of the following, your sewer line may be overdue for a deep clean:
- Multiple slow or backed-up drains
- Frequent toilet clogs
- Gurgling noises from drains
- Sewer odors in your home or yard
- Backups in the basement or first-floor fixtures
📍 Indianapolis homes with mature trees or older clay pipes are especially susceptible to root infiltration and buildup that can only be cleared with jetting.
