At Affordable Trenchless & Sewer Repair, we believe in educating our customers. Here’s a quick, real-world demonstration showing exactly what can happen when a sewer line is hydro jetted — and why an after-inspection video is so important.

What You’re Seeing in This Demo, Camera Sewer Inspection Walkthrough
We started in a section of cast iron pipe that was relatively clean. Then we showed what often happens after a typical hydro jetting job:
- The high-pressure jetter knocks grease, scale, and buildup off the pipe walls.
- However, if the jetter isn’t run properly (especially on the pull-back), it leaves loose chunks and debris sitting in the bottom of the pipe.
- Some areas remain dirty because the nozzle didn’t clean all the way back.
This is very common with older cast iron lines. The jetter clears the immediate clog, but without a proper final pass and verification, you’re often left with loose material that can quickly cause new backups.
Our Key Takeaway
Always ask for an after-video when someone jets your sewer line.
A good hydro jetting job should leave the pipe as clean as possible — not full of freshly broken-off debris. At YDIG, we always provide both before and after footage when we perform cleaning so you can see the true results.
Pro Tips for Sewer Line Maintenance
- Never assume a “cleaned” line is truly clean — verify with Camera Sewer Inspection.
- Cast iron pipes are especially prone to this issue because scale and corrosion easily break off.
- The best practice is: Hydro Jet → Camera Inspection → Report.
This simple step can save you from repeated service calls and unexpected emergencies.
