High-Pressure Cleaning That Lasts
A cabled snake punches a hole through a clog; hydro jetting scours the pipe wall clean. Using water at up to 4,000 PSI, we cut through grease, sludge, scale, and tree roots and flush the debris away — restoring your line to nearly full capacity.
That’s why jetting is the go-to for recurring clogs, commercial kitchens, and root-prone sewer lines. We often pair it with a camera inspection so we can confirm the line is clear and catch any underlying damage before it becomes an emergency.
Built for the Toughest Clogs
Grease & Sludge
Kitchen lines coat with grease over time. Jetting strips the buildup off the pipe wall, not just the center.
Tree Roots
Roots that invade sewer lines are cut and cleared, buying years before they return.
Scale & Mineral Buildup
Older pipes narrow with mineral scale. High-pressure water restores the full diameter.
Recurring Clogs
If the same drain backs up again and again, jetting clears the cause snaking leaves behind.
Signs You Need Hydro Jetting
If snaking keeps failing or clogs come right back, jetting is usually the answer. Watch for:
- The same drain clogs repeatedly
- Multiple fixtures backing up at once
- Slow drains throughout the home or business
- Gurgling sounds and sewer odors
- Frequent kitchen-line grease clogs
- A commercial kitchen or grease-heavy line

Hydro Jetting & Drain Cleaning — Questions & Answers
What's the difference between hydro jetting and snaking?
A snake clears a path through a clog; hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the entire pipe wall clean. Jetting lasts far longer, especially for grease and roots.
Is hydro jetting safe for my pipes?
For most pipes in good condition, yes. We inspect the line with a camera first and adjust the pressure to match your system, so we never jet a pipe that can’t handle it.
How often should drains be jetted?
Homes rarely need it more than every few years. Commercial kitchens and grease-heavy lines often benefit from scheduled jetting to prevent backups.
Will jetting remove tree roots?
Yes. Hydro jetting cuts and flushes out root intrusion. We’ll also camera the line to check whether the pipe itself needs repair where roots got in.
Do you offer emergency drain cleaning?
Yes — we’re open 24/7. If a drain or sewer line is backing up, call (510) 966-7398 anytime and we’ll clear it.
