One Way Service LLC is a licensed and insured commercial and industrial pipefitting company built around one specialty: high-pressure hydro jetting. We clear grease, scale, sludge, and root intrusion from commercial drain lines across New Castle County, Philadelphia, and the surrounding counties — and we answer the phone at 2 a.m.

Hydro jetting is drain cleaning with high-pressure water instead of steel cable. We feed a specialized hose into your line and drive water through a multi-directional nozzle at pressures ranging from roughly 1,500 to 4,000 PSI. Rear-facing jets pull the hose forward through the pipe while forward jets cut through the blockage.
The difference from snaking is what happens to the pipe wall. A cable auger punches a hole through a clog and restores flow. Jetting scours the full inside diameter of the line, stripping away the grease, soap scum, mineral scale, and biofilm that caused the clog in the first place. You get the line back closer to its original capacity rather than a channel bored through the middle of a still-coated pipe.
It is also a chemical-free process. No caustic drain cleaner sitting in your lines, nothing hazardous going into the municipal system, and no corrosive damage to older cast iron.
If you are currently paying for any of the following on a recurring basis, jetting usually replaces or reduces them:
Jetting is not always the right call. Pipes that are collapsed, badly cracked, or severely corroded need repair, not cleaning — and we will tell you that rather than jet a line that can't take it. That's why we inspect before we set pressure.
Jetting is priced by the job, not by a flat national rate, because line length, pipe diameter, access, and how bad the buildup is all change the labor involved. The ranges below reflect current market pricing across the Philadelphia and Delaware Valley region so you can budget realistically.
| Service | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Residential main sewer line jetting | $350 – $650 |
| Commercial line jetting | $800 – $1,800 |
| Severe blockage or multiple commercial drains | $1,800 – $3,000+ |
| Sewer camera inspection | $125 – $750 |
| After-hours / emergency premium | $100 – $300 |
| Cable snaking (for comparison) | $150 – $300 |
Regional averages for context: hydro jetting in Philadelphia runs about $487 on average, with most jobs falling between $359 and $616. Licensed plumbers in the city bill roughly $80 to $160 per hour. Drain cleaning in northern Delaware averages closer to $266 for straightforward residential work.
We quote flat rates before we start. You will know the number before the truck is unpacked, and it does not change because the job ran long.
Hydro jetting is our specialty, not our whole trade. We are a full commercial and industrial pipefitting operation handling process piping, HVAC piping, medical gas systems, new installations, repairs, replacements, and system upgrades. See our full services for detail.
We work throughout Delaware and the Greater Philadelphia region, including:
High-volume kitchens — fast food, diners, anything running long hours — generally need it quarterly. Medium-volume restaurants and cafés do well on a six-month interval. We'll recommend a schedule after seeing your actual grease load rather than guessing.
Not when it's done correctly. We inspect the line and set pressure and nozzle selection based on pipe material and condition. Cast iron, clay, PVC, and copper all get handled differently. If a line is too deteriorated to jet safely, we say so.
Most single-line commercial jobs run one to three hours including inspection and a post-cleaning flow test. Multi-drain or heavily blocked systems take longer.
Yes. Backups don't wait for business hours, and neither do we. (302) 894-7540.
You get the same crew every visit, a flat quote before work starts, and a direct line to the people doing the work. We're local to the Delaware Valley, we know the older infrastructure here, and we're not upselling to hit a franchise quota.
Tell us what you're dealing with and we'll give you a straight answer on whether jetting is the right fix.
