Santa Clarita & The San Fernando Valley Hydro Jetting

A snake punches a hole through a clog. Hydro jetting scours the whole pipe wall with high-pressure water: grease, scale and roots come out, not just a path through them.

8 a.m. to 5 p.m., seven days a week. No after-hours emergency service.

  2. Slow everywhereSeveral drains slow at once points to the main line, not one fixture.
  3. GurglingAir pushing past a partial blockage gurgles in toilets and tub drains.
  4. Grease lineKitchen lines, and restaurant lines most of all, build up grease that only jetting removes.

How We Handle Hydro Jetting

When a drain keeps coming back, the line is usually coated, not blocked. Grease in a kitchen line, scale in old cast iron, roots at a joint in the sewer. A cable clears a channel through the middle and the coating stays. Jetting cleans the pipe back to its walls, so the line drains like it's supposed to.

Jetting is powerful, and that's exactly why we look before we jet. A camera goes down the line first. If the pipe is cracked, separated or collapsed, jetting is the wrong tool: it can make the damage worse, and the fix is a repair. If the pipe is sound, jetting is the right one.

It works on kitchen and laundry lines, main drains and sewer laterals, at homes and at commercial buildings where grease and heavy use load a line much faster.

  4. A camera pass afterward to show it's clear
  5. What we saw, and what to do about it

Straight Answers

Hydro Jetting Questions

Is hydro jetting better than snaking?

For a line that's coated with grease, scale or roots, yes: it cleans the whole pipe wall instead of opening a channel. For a single soft clog, a snake is often enough. And for a cracked or broken pipe, neither is the fix, which is why we run a camera first.

Can hydro jetting damage pipes?

On a sound pipe, used at the right pressure, it shouldn't. On a pipe that's already cracked, separated or collapsed, it can make things worse. That's why we look with a camera before we jet.
