Fife properties along 20th Street East and near the Puyallup River often face sewer backups during Pierce County's wet winters. Tacoma Hydro Jetting brings hydro jetting equipment directly to residential streets and small commercial sites in Fife to cut through grease, roots, and sediment that collect in older lines.
Many Fife homes built from the 1960s through the 1980s sit on flat lots with mature trees whose roots reach sewer laterals. Our trucks access driveways off 54th Avenue East and nearby side streets without needing to block main traffic corridors, then use high-pressure water to restore flow before backups reach living spaces.
Serving Fife means quick response from our Broadway base for both single-family houses east of I-5 and light-industrial buildings along the port edge. We focus on clearing main lines that connect to the municipal system rather than offering unrelated services.

Sewer Hydro Jetting in Fife — Local Notes
- •Fife's high water table near the Puyallup River lets groundwater seep into older clay or concrete sewer pipes, so hydro jetting often reveals joint failures that need camera inspection after the initial clean.
- •Homes on smaller lots off 54th Avenue East and 20th Street East leave little room for equipment staging, requiring compact jetting rigs that fit between fences and driveways.
- •Winter rain in Pierce County pushes extra volume through Fife's flat drainage, so root blockages that were minor in summer become full backups by November.
- •Commercial strips near the I-5 corridor see heavy grease loading from restaurants; repeated jetting visits keep lines open without excavation on busy weekdays.
