Hydrojetting in Tigard
Fast Relief For Backed-Up Drains
When drains back up into your tub, kitchen sink, or floor drains, you do not have time to guess at solutions. For severe or recurring clogs, hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to clear heavy buildup that basic plunging or chemicals often leave behind. At Zoom Drain of Portland, our team helps homeowners and small businesses in Tigard get stubborn lines flowing again with professional equipment and careful assessments.
We understand how stressful it is to deal with wastewater on your floors or toilets that keep backing up. Our technicians focus on finding the real cause of the blockage and matching it with the right method, whether that is hydro jetting or another approach. You stay informed at every step, from the first call through cleanup.
Many of the toughest clogs occur in main sewer lines, restaurant drains, or long kitchen lines where grease, sludge, and scale build up over time. In older neighborhoods in Tigard with mature trees, roots can also invade sewer pipes and slow everything down. Our goal is to give you fast relief now and a cleaner line that is better prepared for future use.
Our specialized jetting strips away hardened fats to keep your business open and your drains clear. Call us at (971) 436-8966 or schedule service online.
How Our Hydro Jetting Process Works
Knowing what to expect can make scheduling hydro jetting feel much less stressful. When you contact Zoom Drain of Portland, our team starts by listening to what you are seeing, such as gurgling sounds, sewage backing up, or slow drains throughout the property. We ask questions about your plumbing history, including any past snaking, repairs, or known root issues, so we can plan an effective visit.
On-site, our technician locates the best access point for the line, which may be a cleanout in your yard, a basement access, or a roof vent. We evaluate the situation, including how your fixtures are behaving and any signs that could point to a main line trouble spot. When hydro jetting is appropriate, we set up the jetting machine and hoses carefully to protect your floors, landscaping, and walls.
The jetting hose is fed into the pipe, and a special nozzle directs streams of high-pressure water against the pipe wall. We adjust the pressure to suit the type and condition of your plumbing, because a newer plastic line can tolerate different settings than an older, more fragile pipe. As the nozzle moves through the line, the water breaks up thick grease, sludge, scale, and many common obstructions that cling to the walls, not just the single clog.
During the process, we monitor how the line responds and make adjustments as needed. After jetting, our technician checks the flow by running water through fixtures or performing other practical checks to confirm that waste is moving as it should. When appropriate, we may recommend pairing jetting with inspection, which can reveal pipe damage, heavy root intrusion, or other issues that jetting cannot correct on its own.
Once the line is cleared, we remove our equipment, wipe up any water around access areas, and leave the work area as tidy as possible. Before we go, we review what we found and explain any next steps that could help maintain your drains, such as periodic cleaning for heavy-use kitchens or further evaluation if we suspect structural pipe problems.

Did a lot of work to get the kitchen sink unclogged. Was very fair based on the troubles he went through.J Stevens
I had an urgent plumbing issue on Mother’s Day. My downstairs sink was clogged, causing water to overflow and run onto the floor. Dan came out within a couple of hours, analyzed the problem, and fixed it. He gave us good advice about maintenance to keep it from happening again. No extra charge for weekend or holiday. A very professional job!Dave Worth
Really nice guy, did an awesome job! Honest, humble, and incredibly reliable, they consistently go above and beyond on all my needs with my sewer scope. If you’re looking for quality and dependability, don’t waste your time anywhere else—these are the ones to call!Julian Paredes
The company is very professional. No extra charge for weekends. Dan was fantastic, very knowledgeable and efficient.Joe Robertson
We had a very vexing and stubbornly clogged shower/bathtub drain. At 11:30 AM I made a request through the Angi app for plumbing/drain cleaning services. I selected Zoom Drain Portland (ZDP) as they are reviewed as a five star service. Yes, indeed … Zoom Drain Portland is a golden five star service. Within a minute of submitting the service request, I was promptly and politely contacted by Mr. Peter. In less than 2 minutes we scheduled a service time (same day) for 6–8 PM. But, just a short 30 minutes later I was contacted by Caiden Ranieri, the assigned ZDP technician, who asked if he could come by earlier, in 25 minutes! I happily agreed. Caiden showed up promptly as we arranged. He explained the service options after reviewing the clogged tub. He got right to work and in spite of a really stuck and challenging clogged drain, our tub/shower now drains perfectly. All before 1:30! The 10% over 65 discount is a nice touch!! I strongly recommend Zoom Drain Portland! Now I can get back to weeding and watering my garlic plot!Bart Lawrence
Great service at my home. He arrived on time, worked very professionally, and fixed the issue quickly. Everything is working perfectly now. Highly recommend!Gisel Rivera
Our sewer backed up into our basement on Sunday. On Monday morning Dan & Adam came out and cleared the sewer line out to the street. They did great work and communicated well.Francis Opila
Dan helped me out a lot. My fix was to reroute. He took time to call a reference for me even though he was unable to help me. I would recommend these guys to anyone.Stephanie Lunsford
Landon with Zoom Drain came out to investigate my toilet overflowing shortly after I moved into a recently remodeled home. He was friendly, polite, and professional, and he recommended hydro jetting to clear the line. Dan returned the next day, and with Landon’s assistance, they performed the hydro jetting. I was still nervous about potential ongoing plumbing issues, but Dan was very reassuring. He explained that the blockage was due to construction debris in the pipes and took the time to share helpful tips on using newer high-efficiency toilets, which can be more prone to clogs. It’s now been almost two weeks since the service, and I haven’t had any issues, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. I really appreciate both Landon and Dan for their thorough work and professionalism. Highly recommend Zoom Drain!Kelley Stokes
Dan and Adam took the time to fully clear our kitchen sink drain line and run a camera to isolate the problem. Very personable and straightforward guys. The price was a little high, but they quoted me upfront and stood by the quote. Overall, I would recommend for drain trouble of any kind.Brinda Coleman
We had a really tough clog, but they were kind, considerate, and professional through the process. Will definitely be my first call when I have any plumbing issues. Highly recommend their services.Brett Unger
Alfonso and his partner were on time, respectful, and thoughtful in their work. They quickly identified the problems and promptly fixed them. They wore booties to keep our house clean, negotiated with his boss to lower the cost on an expensive service, and left our drains in really good shape.Think Little
This morning my husband and I became aware that we had a severely clogged drain in our kitchen and adjacent laundry sink in the garage, which likely had been building for months. I called Zoom Drain and Phil took my call and was very helpful, setting up an appointment within hours. Dan came and did an exceptional and very thorough job on our problem. We are so relieved finally to have this taken care of in a very professional manner. Thanks so much!Cynthia Keeney
Dan showed up on time and did a great job unclogging our kitchen sink. He was friendly and knowledgeable and fixed a leak we didn’t even know was there. I will definitely call them again the next time we have a plumbing issue.Kyra Littlefield
I had another company come out the day before, and under duress of wanting to get my life back and my bathroom, I agreed to have him come out and dig up pipes at a cost of $6,500. However, upon further thought, I read about possible causes of the backup, and it said the most likely cause was sludge and that a jetter was the best way to clear it out. So I called up Angie's List, and they got me Zoom Drains, and when I tell you these guys are heroes, Dan Nelson showed up on Easter Sunday at 10:00 in the morning, and after a fierce battle we beat the sludge monster back to his hole in the sewer, and my pipes are flowing clean and I got my bathroom back. That man cemented his hero status today in my book.Kevin Kosik
Liked him. Efficient and nice. Explained everything and got it all working. Had to clear drains in garage for washing machine. Also cleared lines to kitchen sink, garbage disposal, dishwasher. I would definitely recommend him and hire him again.Linda Donovan
