High-Pressure Cleaning for Drain Lines That Need More Than a Flush
When a drain line is slow, partially blocked, or backing up, the problem is usually deeper inside the system. Grease buildup, sediment compaction, root intrusion, and debris accumulation don’t respond to surface-level cleaning. Drain line jetting, often referred to as JetVac service, uses high-pressure water and vacuum extraction to break apart obstructions, remove debris, and restore proper flow throughout the pipeline.
Mid-State Industrial provides professional drain line jetting services for municipalities, commercial properties, contractors, industrial facilities, and stormwater systems across Oregon. From preventative maintenance to emergency blockage removal, we help keep storm and sewer infrastructure flowing properly while reducing the risk of backups, flooding, pollutant discharge, and costly system failures. Routine jetting and storm system maintenance can also help support municipal stormwater management and Oregon DEQ compliance requirements.
Why Drain Line Jetting & What It Clears
Pre-season drain jetting before Oregon’s fall rains is one of the most cost-effective ways to reduce backups, standing water, & storm system overflows before peak storm activity begins. Mid-State offers scheduled preventative maintenance programs for municipalities, commercial properties, industrial facilities, HOAs, and multi-site operations across Oregon.
High-pressure jetting is effective against a wide range of blockage types:
- Grease and fat accumulation – common in food service, processing, and commercial kitchen drain lines
- Sediment and silt compaction – fine particles that build up over time and restrict flow
- Debris and organic material – leaves, roots, and general waste that accumulate in storm lines
- Scale and mineral deposits – calcium and mineral buildup in older pipe systems
- Construction debris – aggregate, concrete slurry, and material that enters lines during active projects
How Drain Line Jetting Works
High-pressure drain jetting equipment quickly and efficiently removes grease, roots, sediment, sludge, and debris from storm and sewer infrastructure, using a straightforward, minimally disruptive process designed to restore flow and keep systems operating properly.
Line Assessment
We identify the blockage location and severity before jetting begins
High-Pressure Water Jetting
A specialized nozzle is inserted into the line and propelled forward by water pressure, cutting through buildup and flushing debris downstream
Debris Extraction
Loosened material is flushed to a collection point and vacuumed out
Flow Verification
We confirm that the flow has been restored and the line has the capacity needed to function properly before leaving the site
Documentation
Service records provided for your maintenance files
For lines with unknown conditions or recurring blockage issues, we recommend pairing jetting with a CCTV inspection to identify the root cause.
Prevent Problems Before They Escalate
A partially blocked drain line doesn’t stay partially blocked. Buildup compounds over time. What starts as a slow drain becomes a full backup, an overflow, and potentially a regulatory issue if the line is connected to your stormwater system.
Regular jetting as part of a preventive maintenance program is far less expensive than emergency response and infrastructure repair.

Pair Drain Line Jetting with CCTV Inspection
Confirm the line is clear, not just flowing better.
Drain line jetting removes grease, sludge, sediment, roots, and debris, but improved flow does not always mean the issue is fully resolved. CCTV inspection after jetting confirms whether the line is clear and helps identify hidden problems like pipe sags, joint offsets, root intrusion, cracks, infiltration, or collapsed sections.
Mid-State can clean, inspect, and document the line in one coordinated service, with NASSCO-certified reporting for repair planning, maintenance records, insurance, or compliance needs.
Why combine drain jetting and CCTV inspection
- Confirm full clearance. Camera inspection after jetting shows whether the line is truly open or whether a partial blockage remains farther down the pipe.
- Find the cause of repeat blockages. Jetting removes the buildup, while CCTV inspection can reveal pipe sags, joint offsets, root intrusion, cracks, infiltration, or structural defects that may be causing the problem to return.
- Use one coordinated crew. Mid-State provides both services, reducing the need to coordinate multiple vendors, schedules, and mobilizations.
- Create a cleaner camera run. A freshly jetted line gives the camera a clearer path, producing better footage and more accurate inspection results.
- Generate documentation you can stand behind. NASSCO-certified video reports and PACP-coded findings provide defensible records for maintenance planning, asset management, insurance, engineering review, or compliance needs.
If a drain line keeps backing up, or you need proof that the work was completed properly, ask about pairing drain-line jetting with a CCTV inspection. We can clean the line, inspect the pipe, and document the results in one coordinated service.
Equipment Used for Drain Line Jetting
Mid-State uses the Western Star Sewer ECO900 combination sewer cleaner for high-pressure drain line jetting and vacuum recovery on storm, sewer, and industrial drain systems.
- High-pressure water jetting breaks up grease, sediment, roots, sludge, and debris inside drain lines
- Vacuum recovery removes loosened material, liquids, and waste from the system
- The combination jet/vac design allows cleaning and material recovery in one mobilization
- Built for commercial, municipal, industrial, and infrastructure maintenance work
- Supports preventative maintenance, emergency blockage removal, and post-cleaning flow restoration
Best for: Drain line jetting, sewer line cleaning, storm drain lines, industrial drainage systems, emergency blockage removal, preventative maintenance, and JetVac service.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my drain line needs jetting?
Common signs include slow drainage, recurring backups, gurgling sounds, and odors from drain inlets. If you’re experiencing any of these, it’s time to call.
Can jetting damage older pipes?
When performed by trained operators with properly calibrated equipment, jetting is safe for most pipe materials, including PVC, concrete, clay, and cast iron. We assess the line condition before jetting begins.
Should I combine jetting with a CCTV inspection?
For recurring blockages or lines with unknown history, yes. CCTV inspection identifies structural issues, root intrusion, and pipe condition that jetting alone can’t address.
Do you handle emergency drain backups?
Yes. Mid-State operates 24/7/365 with immediate dispatch capability for emergency drain line situations.
