Give buildup a reason to move.
Hydro jetting
Hydro jetting uses water for pipe cleaning. We offer this service and can discuss whether it is a suitable choice for the line and the problem you describe.
Based in Somerset, WI. Serving both sides of the St. Croix.

Comparing water-based cleaning with other cleaning options.
Water-based cleaning, explained simply
Municipal sewer guidance describes water jetting as a way to clean material such as grease, debris, roots and scale from pipes. Those materials do not all behave the same way. A useful service request explains the problem you have rather than choosing a pressure or assuming every obstruction needs the same treatment.
If an earlier cleaning helped only briefly, say how the problem returned. If you have an inspection identifying buildup, mention that too. We offer hydro jetting as part of our drain and sewer services, and you can call to discuss it without knowing the technical specifications of your pipe.
The pipe matters as much as the buildup
High-pressure cleaning needs to suit the line. Seattle Public Utilities warns that such tools can further damage pipes, which makes pipe condition relevant to the cleaning decision. An older inspection showing damage is important context, even if the line still drains some of the time.
Cleaning removes material inside the pipe; it does not repair a damaged joint or replace the line. If your goal is to understand why a blockage keeps returning, our camera inspection page explains how an internal view can help. Bring that question into the hydro jetting conversation rather than treating a more forceful cleaning as the answer by default.
A practical starting point around New Richmond
The City of New Richmond lists New Richmond Utilities as its sewer-service contact. For a possible public-system concern, that utility is the local place to ask about the municipal side before assuming private cleaning will address it.
For a private cleaning request in New Richmond, Somerset or River Falls, call us with the address and what is happening at the drain. Tell us whether the issue is a gradual slowdown, a repeated clog or an active backup. That short description is more useful than trying to identify the buildup from the water you see.
