Golden Penny Sanitation Inc. provides professional hydro jetting in Honolulu and across Oʻahu, using high-pressure water to scour the inside walls of sewer and drain lines. Jetting clears grease, sludge, scale, and tree roots that a standard drain snake only pokes a hole through, restoring the pipe to near its full diameter so clogs stop coming back.
Hydro Jetting
What hydro jetting actually does to a pipe
- High-pressure jetting of sewer and drain lines

- Tree root cutting and removal
- Removal of sludge, scale, and mineral buildup
- Safe for most residential and commercial pipe materials
- 24/7 emergency service
What hydro jetting costs
We publish our prices because most people calling about a blocked line just want to know what they are in for. This is the real number, not a lead-in to an upsell.
- Hydro jettingStandard residential line$499
That is the flat rate for a standard residential jetting. If a camera shows the line is broken or collapsed rather than blocked, jetting is not the fix — we will tell you that instead of jetting it anyway.
Why snaking keeps not working
If the same drain keeps clogging, snaking is only treating the symptom. Hydro jetting cleans the entire pipe wall, which means fewer service calls, fewer backups, and healthier lines for years.
- Clears blockages a drain snake cannot
- Stops recurring clogs at the source
- Keeps restaurant grease lines flowing and compliant
- Chemical-free cleaning that is safe for your pipes
- Extends the life of your sewer and drain lines
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does hydro jetting cost in Hawaii?
Our hydro jetting is $499 for a standard residential line on Oʻahu. If the line turns out to be broken rather than blocked, jetting will not fix it and we will say so — a camera inspection is $299 and tells us which one you are dealing with.
What is hydro jetting?
Hydro jetting uses a specialized nozzle and high-pressure water to scour the inside of a pipe, flushing out grease, sludge, roots, and debris. Unlike snaking, it cleans the entire pipe wall rather than just punching a hole through the clog.
Do I need hydro jetting or drain snaking?
A snake is fine for a one-off clog. If the same line keeps backing up, or a camera shows heavy grease or root buildup, jetting is the better fix because it removes the cause instead of the symptom.
Is hydro jetting safe for older pipes?
For most pipes in reasonable condition, yes. We evaluate the line first — with a camera inspection when needed — and adjust the pressure to match the pipe’s material and condition.
How often should restaurants jet their grease lines?
Most commercial kitchens benefit from jetting every six to twelve months, paired with regular grease trap service. Heavy-volume kitchens may need it more often.
Does hydro jetting remove tree roots?
Yes. Jetting cuts and flushes roots out of the line. If roots keep returning, a camera inspection can show whether a cracked or offset section should be repaired to stop them for good.
