Creating an opening within the obstruction is what snaking does. Hydro jetting is a method that works on the entire drain line. Using high-pressure water streams at thousands of PSI, a hydro jetting nozzle is used to scour the pipe of grease, scale, sludge, and even fine tree roots from the pipe walls.

Hydro jetting is extremely effective, which is precisely why it needs to be handled with great caution. It is the most efficient form of cleaning available on good PVC, ABS or cast iron. But if you’re working on a broken clay pipe or degraded Orangeburg, too much pressure can exacerbate your existing problem. That’s why we always camera inspects the line prior to hydro jetting and adjust the pressure, flow and nozzle based on the job at hand.
We use everything from small residential hydro jetters for 2” to 4” lines all the way up to high-flow trailer units for big commercial jobs. We select nozzles to suit our application – penetrating nozzles for hard clogs, rotating nozzles for scraping away grease and scaling, and root cutting nozzles for fine roots.
Hydro jetting is particularly efficient for California because of the hard water scaling in the Central Valley and the Inland Empire area, the grease in restaurant and apartment kitchen lines, and finally the fine root hair after root cutting mechanically.
We never fly blind; every job begins with using the camera first to make sure the pipe is clean.
Using a camera within the line allows us to determine the type of debris and verify that the materials of the pipe are capable of handling high-pressure water.
Using the information we gather from the video, we establish the pressure and flow rate as well as select the nozzle, be it a penetration nozzle for solid debris or a rotating nozzle for grease and scale.
We then jet using the cleanout and maneuver the nozzle up and down the line through multiple passes until all debris is flushed out of the line.
Another video is taken so that you can see the before and after and we will document any defects covered up by the debris.
If you keep having to snake your drain but it is constantly clogged, then you know that there is still buildup within your pipes. Contact California Drain Experts and let us jet your lines for you!
Hydro jetting done well is monitored, inspected, and documented. We consider it a precise cleaning technique, not a pressure washing system.
Each job is checked by camera prior to and after jetting so you will know your pipe was ready for jetting and get to see the result yourself.
We use residential jetters for household pipes and high-flow jetters for commercial mainlines and grease pipes, therefore the pressure is always within limits required by the pipe.
Since jetting cleans the whole pipe, lines jetted remain clean for a much longer time than the snaked ones.
These are the drain and sewer problems where hydro jetting gives the best result in California homes and businesses.
1
It accumulates in layers, and all that the snake does is cutting its way through them. Jetting cleans the layer from the pipe wall and washes it out.
2
Calcium and mineral scale reduce the diameter of drain pipes in many cities of California. The rotating nozzles of jetting scrub the pipe’s interior.
3
While mechanical cutters clean the roots, some fine root hair remains and quickly re-grows again. Jetting takes care of that.
4
Sediment, sludge and sand accumulate in pipes where the water settles. Jetting washes it away and restores the normal flow of water.
5
If there is one drain that clogs again and again, chances are that the problem is buildup. Jetting cleans the walls of the pipes and removes any substance for buildup to form.

Our customers value our quick service and effective drain cleaning.
Our kitchen sink became slower week by week until one day it just stopped working. They came in the afternoon on a Sunday, cleaned up the grease and showed us the video evidence. Excellent value and neat job!

We experienced problems with sewer backup in our shower. It turned out there were tree roots growing into our main line, which they removed the very same day. The explanation process was clear and simple.

I run a small restaurant and we had floor drains that clogged, ruining our rush time during dinnertime. They came at night, jetted our lines and we haven’t had any backups since.

Our bathroom drain would get clogged every few months. They said there is some mineral build-up, hydro jetted our pipes, and now everything is good.

California boasts some of the toughest water in the nation, especially in regions such as the Central Valley and Inland Empire, along with busy restaurant zones and old clay sewage pipes. Such circumstances have made hydro jetting one of the most valuable services that we offer.
We do the jetting of restaurant grease lines, apartment mains, and residential lines in LA where there is buildup of hard water scale and grease.
We do careful jetting of cast iron pipes in San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose at controlled pressures and then use the camera to examine for corrosion before and after the job.
In Sacramento, Fresno, and Bakersfield, buildup of hard water scale is common enough that the only solution left to clear the line is jetting.
Hard water in parts of California leaves deposits of mineral buildup inside drainage pipes. The only efficient method of cleaning away such a buildup without replacement is through rotating nozzle jetting.
Cities and sanitation districts in many California locations have fats, oil, and grease regulations for commercial food operations. Regular jetting of grease lines assists restaurant owners in staying within legal bounds.
Clay and Orangeburg pipes in some areas should be inspected prior to jetting. In situations where the piping is damaged beyond repair, we suggest pipe repair.
The best way to understand hydro jetting is to see what it removes. Here are three jetting jobs typical of our work in California.
In Bakersfield there was a kitchen line which had been snaked three times within one year. There were heavy grease deposits and scale deposits that reduced the size of the pipe to half its original size.
The line was snaked using a rotating nozzle that cleaned the grease and scale deposits on the walls of the pipe.
The homeowner was advised to avoid pouring grease down the sink, with no routine jetting needed unless symptoms return.
This was the case at a Santa Ana restaurant where there were problems with slow draining floors and monthly required grease line cabling.
This grease line and all its floor branches were fully jetted using a high-capacity system.
A quarterly jetting schedule was set up to keep the kitchen compliant and running smoothly.
A home owner in Oakland had to have roots cut from the sewer line two times in a year, but the roots would re-grow.
After cutting using mechanical methods, we used the root nozzle to clean up the residual fine growth by jetting the joints.
Annual jetting was recommended along with a quote for a spot liner at the worst joint.
Hydro jetting costs in California depend on line size, length, type of buildup and access. The price includes the camera inspection before and after.

|---|---|
| Residential drain line jetting (kitchen or branch) | $350 to $650 |
| Residential main sewer line jetting | $450 to $900 |

Here are answers to common questions about hydro jetting in California.
Jet cleaning is safe to perform on intact piping, such as PVC, ABS and cast iron piping. Old cracked or collapsed clay or Orangeburg piping can get damaged, and this is why we check every pipe before jetting it.
In California, residential hydro jetting normally costs between $350 and $900 depending on whether it is a branch line or the main sewer line. The cost of commercial and restaurant hydro jetting ranges from $500 to $2,000 and above.
Snaking uses a rotating cable to cut a path through a clog. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to clean the entire inside of the pipe. Snaking is good for simple clogs, while jetting is best for grease, scale, sludge and repeat clogs.
Most homes only need jetting when there is a problem. Restaurants often need it every one to three months depending on volume, and homes with recurring roots or scale may benefit from jetting every one to two years.
Jetting with a root cutting nozzle removes fine roots and is very effective after the main root mass has been cut mechanically. Large established roots are usually cut first, then the line is jetted clean.
