- How to make your own very effective water jetting tool to clean out plumbing around your house. This system is ideal for sewer lines and drainage tiles that can get clogged with mud or silt or even tree roots. The water jetter blasts the clogs away. You do need to have a gas pressure washer for this to be effective. Electric pressure washers do not have enough power. The parts used in this video are listed below. (Paid Links)

I got a $1,700 dollar estimate for a 45 foot straight shot sewer line jetter job. My husband and I bought a kit and tied it to our pressure washer. In 15 min. Job was done.😊
Did you have a camera ran to ensure you cleaned it well ?and check for any bellys within the pipe or separations?
I purchased the same hose and nozzle kit and attached it to the end of my wand as well. The only difference is I only have an electric pressure washer rated for 1.2k psi but I was still successful
Yo Christmas morning 2022 was SAVED by this video. I took a chance, ordered a connector kit, 100ft hose, rented a beast from Home Depot and spent $120 instead of $600, plus I got a feeling of self-mastery free of charge.
👍 Awesome
I can’t believe how well this worked for me. I can’t thank you enough for making this video. My water has not drained like this since the house was new. This worked better than snaking ever could.
That was very cool. One guy wanted to charge me 1800 for the exact same thing you’re doing. I’m still contemplating what to do but you did an excellent job. Thank you for sharing.
I got an estimate of $650 to unclog a driveway drain. In 5 minutes, I got it unclogged with the suggested kit for ~$50. Thank you so much.
That's awesome
@@patriotjoe3110 Castro is probably in Ca. where the state charges him $400. to start up his truck, has to pay no count help $200. per day no matter if he works...he was in the truck so that's help.....$50 was for the actual plumber , gas for truck, equipment....willingness to sit 2 hours in traffic jam to even get to the job....yep, $650 is about right.
@@StephenZ827 I'm in WA state.
Thats even worse @Rodrigo De Castro ...Your Governer is an idiot. LOL
@Sam Hill $650 is on the low side for jetting. remember, this plumber pays for his hourly wages, taxes, million dollar insurance on vehicle and company, plus tools and material. $650 is not over pricing to not get the job.
one very helpful item for using these sewer jetter kits is a foot pedal valve which you can install in place of the pressure washer gun. That way you have both hands free to manipulate the hose.
What foot pedal did you buy??
@@bombis15 there are many, many options available on the market. look for "pressure washer foot valve", or "pressure washer foot control".
This is so satisfying. Thank you for sharing. My drain is clogged up and I will definitely use your method.
You Sir are a life saver! I've got a frozen pvc pipe that I've been trying to unclog for days! Called a plumber to snake the line. No luck. Called a septic guy to snake from the tank side. No luck. What's needed is high pressure and hot/warm water. A few bucks (already have a pressure washer) and I should be good
Thank you for the phenomenal information and tutorial. I don’t think I went with the same exact hydrojetting kit that you used but regardless, after 3 plumbers trying, the hydrojetting worked like a charm. Great advice
No plumbers you hired had water jets?
I am so grateful to you for saving me from the frustration of having to research a quality product to use for this. There's so much junk being sold online and it's so time consuming to sift thru what is quality and what is not. Thanks for posting this very much! I purchased thru ur link, liked and subscribed. I feel positively effusive about using this
Thank you so much for this video. Exactly what I needed! You've saved me and my family a nice wad of money.
A real nice job for the DIY for sure. I will be doing that soon. Thanks for the information so anyone can do the job. Good day fella too.
Thanks! I was able to unblock my underground gutter drain with this system. And, I'm a 71 yo woman! Easy!
Excellent job!
You go girl! 👍
The reason you were able to clear the drain yourself is because you are a 71 year old. Today's 20 year old snowflakes would never attempt physical work themselves.
Gooooooo Lynn. :-)
@@Pro1er haha. Love this comment!
Thanks for sharing this video . I just bought one and can’t wait to use it . Plumbers want at least $250 and up to clean out storm drain . This will help. Thanks
Amazing DIY, we had to get our pipes and the main pipe cleaned last year the plumber charged us 800$ (CAN), and he recommended doing this cleaning every 3-4 years. I will try it with my pressure washer next time. thanks again
Great Video, That is what I am looking for. Helped me a lot. Thank you very much.
Outstanding information to share! Thank you so much. I have several lines mostly clogged with leaves and stuff at a facility where I volunteer so I will be doing this a lot.
Great video, popped up in my suggestion. Don't know how UA-cam knew I needed to make thia
For that job a water hose might have done the trick, nevertheless, great video and a very effective solution.
One improvement, especially for long or hard clogs: start downstream.
I’m not experienced, yet, but my buddy is and he said, for seriously clogged pipes, it’s always better to start downstream.
My situation is a very long house on a slope with the front of this old house facing uphill so extending downspouts isn’t an option. Downspouts go into clay pipe “sealed” with cracked concrete. Clay pipe goes hundreds of feet to a storm sewer. I cleared out 18 feet in multiple directions with a hose so far but I have a long way to go so I’m definitely gonna try this system and I definitely need to do this myself.
I really appreciate that you made this video. Thank you.
youll def have another view tomorrow when my stuff arrives.
Excellent idea! I was not aware of those jetting tips. Thanks.
You saved me so much money. I will buy used pressure washer and make it work
Very helpful. Waiting on parts but that looks very similar to our issue and will save a bunch of money now and moving forward. Thank you.
Thank you for adding the links to the parts. It helps a lot.
Hey can you share the parts list with me .thanks
I’m on an iPhone and for some reason I can’t pull up the link
DUDE, you are the BEST...THANK YOU!!!!
i have sewerage line of about 60-70 feet cast line in basement and about 10 feet under concrete. One of my tenant through Paper Napkin. Big time back up and over flow th Toilet. very big mess you can not imagine and very bad smell Call plumber and they clean it in 15 minutes They did not use Water jetter system and charge me $450.00 with 6 month warranty.
With my luck clog happened again after 61/2 month later. Same mess same Oder Same plumber came and he clean sewer line in only 12 minutes and charged me $450.00 again. Now I know how The DIY Water Jetter System to unclog and clean ( if ever I have any sewer or drain line clog) THANK YOU JACK
thanks for sharing your great hydro-jet system! that is awesome!
Great idea! I just ordered everything. Thanks!
Did it work? What was your situation?
@@justinemorgan28 I have three different "dips" in my line, spanning 100'. It will back up into the house twice a year. I've decided to replace the line, so I never got to try it out.
Thank you for a well explained instructional video. Peace
There is a lot of misinformation out there But this is exactly what I needed. Great information, great video, and great product links… thank you so much!
As an update: I received my hose, nozzle, and adapter and went to work on a waxy accumulation clog in the kitchen. Ive cleared this issue in the past with a drill snake, no fun. The hyrojet setup blasted thru the clog and washed it away. Thanks again Jack, best $45 I ever spent!
Thank you so much!
Just what I was looking for.
You're awesome !
Good video. I would say though that it most always best to tackle it by going in from the downstream side of the clog if possible. Then the backward spraying jets will wash the dislodged materials on down the drain.
Also Jack, if you have gutter guards on those gutters and you are still getting blockages, you likely have a hole or multiple holes in the corrugated pipe underground. And you are probably getting dirt and sediment in your lines or even worse, roots. For that you would need to treat the lines with RootX or a similar product. This will dissolve and kill the roots and allow the drain to flow freely. But you will need to treat the pipe every 1-2 years.
How! Just what I needed. Thank you very much!!
Just some info for gutter pipe owners. Never use corrugated pipe for underground gutters. You see it used because it works great for French drains but not gutters. Use smooth wall pvc pipe. The ridges on corrugated pipe will catch and build up with all the dirt and whatever you can imagine that runs off your roof. Especially if you have shingled roof. Shingle granules and rock sediment will build up. Also this type of pipe is so thin it will break or crush. PVC is more solid and leaves a smooth path for nothing to get stuck.
Very true. I've had to replace a lot of black corrugated pipe that was probably crushed when it was installed also.
schedule 40 ABS is best for this.....PVC is somewhat brittle..... ABS you can beat with a hammer and not break it.
Very educational video. Very detailed explanation. If it'll work for my situation, it could save me a life time of plumbing expenses. Thanks. 👍
How did it go?
I use my Simpson belt drive 4200 water blaster with a 1/4 jetter hosé for under sink and1/8 jetter hose for the rest. Works great!
This is just exactly what I need to clear a clog in some corrugated pipe. A commercial hydrojet would be too strong, I think, and damage this 20 year old corrugated pipe. But your solution seemed to work just fine on corrugated pipe. What a relief to discover this option!
Just be careful. Don't force it. Corrugated pipe is delicate and if crushed, this will blow right through it.
@@JackofAllMasterofNone Thank you so much for the extra guidance. I will be gentle....
Great video! Thanks.
(The last three videos “claimed” to be showing a ClogHog in action. All three videos should ZERO cloghog in it. One guy actually just showed 8 minutes of a camera pushing through his sewage line, and ended it with a claim “the cloghog cleaned it out” the end).
Great Video! Very detailed and helpful.
They charge me huge amounts of money to pressure jet The Roots out of my leach field lines. You either come up with the money or you go without Plumbing. Your video it's going to help alot of people
I owned a business that made septic tanks for 19 years. This will break up small roots only. Use root-X to kill the roots. (Copper sulfate). Might hurt trees or shrubs if their main roots are in the pipe.
Mann thank you, I've called the plumber👩🔧🚽 multiple times being a single parent as a Father raising 3️⃣👧🏽👧🏽👧🏼. Hair, 🧻, hygienic female accessories, etc 🤦🏾♂️ #JackofallMasterofnone 💯👍🏾👍🏾
Very Well Done Sir! Good Job.
THANKS FOR TEACHING YOU ARE AWESOME.
Because you are outside, you could also use a blow bag on the end of your garden hose. It doesn’t have as much pressure but would clear a simple blockage.
I love your video, thank you.
CAN BE DONE WITH AN ELECTRIC PRESSURE WASHER: I bought the suggested items from the link but the adapter part for wand end was arriving too late and my main sewer drain was backed up for a few days but I was determined not to waste another $60 bucks renting a snake that would clear it. So I went to Home Depot and got a 1/4 in quick connect kit and disconnected the part that was the same as my washer wand end and bought a separate double female coupling to attach the high pressure hose to end of wand. Cost an additional $20. I decided to see if my wimpy Sun Joe SPX3000 2030 PSI 1.76 GPM Electric Pressure Washer, 14.5-Amp would do the job in spite of the video saying it wouldn't since I knew the root clog was only about 2 ft from the access. With the fancy mushroom head attachment it was pitiful pressure. So I took it off and added the part from the Quick connect kit that I had removed (which is the same as the end of the wand) and attached it to the end of the pressure hose and then attached my pressure washer attachment that is the strongest one I had (yellow nozzle). Bingo! full pressure on a flexible hose that cleared the drain. I did have to hand feed it since there are no reverse propulsion streams on it so I used a 6 gallon shop vac to clean it out first. It worked great and was fast. I'm relieved I didn't need to buy a gas powered pressure washer. I may not have demolished the roots with this method and I will see how long it lasts but at least I can do again without forking out more money. Thanks for the video. I hope my adventures help someone else. I was nearly inspired to make my own : )

Just watch you utube. So a year later is still working good I want to try this
Great video sir...Thank you 🙏🏼
good video. I have been using a purchased brand and it connects to the middle of the wand. You unscrew the pipe and attach it there. It is a little easier to work with. In addition the nozzle head is much smaller/shorter. This feature is the most important part because it allows it to work its way around corners in smaller pipe which is what needed.
Would you please tell me what I can get this kit. My situation is much like yours. I am needing to unclog a slow drain from my tube. The pipe is smaller and has a bend in it. I need smaller attachments.
@@donwilliams2685 The brand I bought is a clog hog. I think I paid around a $100 but its been a minute. I could be wrong since I have bought 2 over the years.
Clever clever good man thumbs up
Awesome, thanks a lot for posting 👍👍👍
Great video , it's just the longer the hose looses pressure also twist in as you go in helps ,
Simply brilliant !!!!
Very good video, Thanks.. Harbor fright has what you need and by leaving the machine outside and bring the one hose thru a window someone can control the trigger... Thanks🤠 The return line may be messy so it can go into a garbage bag to take out, protecting the carpet...
big help.thanx for sharing.
Very good will save $$$$
Thanks
Super helpful. Thanks!
Thank you Jack!
Thank you SO MUCH !! I have a similar partial restriction due to accumulates shingle granules and the drain pipe runs 40 ft under a concrete driveway. I received a $650 estimate and will try this first with my power washer. I'm thinking it may take some time but it should work. Thanks again !!!!
Best of luck!
@@JackofAllMasterofNone Did it yesterday. Worked great. Added a wire "hook" behind the nozzle to pull out some fine root masses. Thanks again!
Nice... Where you using a gas or electric pressure washer?
You are the real mvp
Thanks for the info. Appreciate you
Regarding the swivel vs fixed ends, I'm not an expert but I can think of two reasons the swivel should really be at the pressure washer end, not the clog end. First, do you really want the possibility of the working end spinning wildly if the pressure from the reverse jets starts to provide a small rotational force? It sounds like it might be beneficial for cleaning, but probably not desirable if it's not a rotating nozzle designed for that purpose (which I see is provided in kits). But, I think more importantly, having the swivel at the pressure washer end lets you have control to re-orient the line by twisting it (often a challenge with pressure lines). If the swivel is down in the drain at the working head, it loses this ability. Great video, thanks!
Thanks bro for sincere video. God bless
Great video just what I needed. Keep up the great info.
great video instructional thanks
Great video 👍🏻
Great information. Thank You!
Very helpful. Thanks.
Great video, Thanks
Great video and idea 👍
thanks was looking for something like this.
I've got a stuck 1" rubber bladder in my 2" outside overflow drain, plumber tried to cut/snake it out, no luck, would this procedure work for my problem, thankyou?
Yep, septic is what i need this for.
I bought my 100' Sewer jetter hose with all the tips and fittings for a standard pressure washer handle so theres really no need to place a shut off on the pressure washer at all if you have M22 fittings it will connect with a M22 reducer
Good job! Do you have a list of parts required and where to get all the parts from. Thanks
Great job.
Thanks for the video
Very good Thank you
Great idea
Exelente donde se puede comprar la manguera,el niple,y la punta por favor si fueras tan amable
Thank you so much
Beautiful
This is a great setup, but one thing. The pump on gas pressure washers can fail if the water is not circulating through it. Suggestions to use are either having a two person operation, where one can start the pressure washer as soon as the other person has the hose set up in the pipes. Another alternative would be to use an electric pressure washer, but not sure if the GPM/PSI would be enough or if it would be compatible with this setup.
Where in the world did you hear that as long as your pressure washer lines are bled and water is through the whole system it don't matter if you start stop jump around I don't understand where you heard that whoever it was you need to tell him to go back and do some research
I've been running pressure washers for 30 plus years and never have one do what you're claiming
Big thanks!!!
Can you let me know what the part is that you replaced the nozzle on the end of your lance is called and where did you get it thank you
Genius!
follow up - i did this as described worked well, saved hundreds, i had to buy 100ft versions 70$ or so on amazon Thanks again Jack. Are you one of the Off bros ? jus kiddin
Nice explanation. I have a pressure washer with a PSI max of 1350, is that enough pressure to clean a sewer? (not Clogged)
Would that be safe for indoor plumbing? Like a clogged drain pipe coming of the kitchen sink
My pressure jet washer has only 120 bar(close to 2000psi) on it. Is that enough to unclog a kitchen basin drain?
Wow man thanks!!
Will this work for a septics drain field?
the water jet will clean out any residue built up on the pipes?
Is it OK to connect with m22 to 1/4 inch jetter hose directly on the gun without lance?
I purchased the hydro jetting package and used it yesterday. Presumably the corsage pins are for clearing out the tiny holes on the hydro jet nozzles as I quickly learned as the forward jet nozzle clogged within 5 minutes of using it. My question is how to clear out the forward jet nozzle hole when the corsage pin doesn't do the job?
Think it’ll work on a frozen line?
Thank you very much for making this video. 👍👍👍 You provided all the information I need in a nice, concise fashion. The only change I'm making is to use the Jet Snake because of its ability to better navigate tight turns and its overall quality. It's much more expensive, but it should perform better and last longer plus it's made in the USA. What's the cost of having a pro to do it? The Jet Snake is much much cheaper than hiring a pro.
Would a 2000 PSI electric pressure washer be good enough for cleaning sewer? Thanks!
I have 3 pool returns that are either clogged or kinked. I think I will try this.
well, did it work?
