Hydro Jetting in Orange County: Clear the Line, Not Just the Clog
Slow drains or a backed-up main line? Request service or call.
What Is Hydro Jetting?
Hydro jetting sends high-pressure water through a hose and nozzle into your drain or sewer line. The water blasts grease, sludge, scale and debris off the pipe walls and flushes it away. It cleans the pipe itself, so the line runs like it should, not just until the next clog.
Hydro Jetting vs. Snaking
| Snaking | Hydro jetting | |
|---|---|---|
| How it works | A cable breaks up or pulls out the clog | High-pressure water cleans the pipe walls |
| Best for | A single clog, such as a toilet or sink blockage | Repeat clogs, grease, heavy buildup and main lines |
| What's left behind | Buildup on the pipe walls can remain | Walls are scoured clean |
| Good to know | Usually the first and least expensive step | Not right for damaged or fragile pipe |
When Hydro Jetting Makes Sense
- The same drain keeps clogging after you've had it snaked
- Several fixtures drain slowly at once, which points to the main line
- Grease buildup, especially in commercial kitchens
- Roots in the line. Jetting can cut them back, but they'll return unless the pipe is repaired.
- A camera inspection shows heavy buildup on the pipe walls
- Scheduled maintenance for restaurants and apartment buildings
When We'll Tell You Not to Jet
Hydro jetting isn't for every pipe. Cracked, collapsed or badly deteriorated pipe can be damaged by high pressure, and jetting won't fix a broken line. That's why we look before we blast. On one Anaheim apartment complex job, we installed a clean-out on a 6" sewer line, then ran a video camera inspection and snaked the line. We choose the method after we see what's in the pipe.

Hydro Jetting for Restaurants and Commercial Kitchens
Grease is the number one enemy of a commercial kitchen's drains. A backed-up line can shut down service. We work around your hours, and we've handled emergencies for restaurants, including a 100-gallon water heater installed for an Anaheim restaurant on a Sunday afternoon. Sewer mains at apartment communities carry a lot of use too, and a backup affects many units at once. We schedule around your tenants and send photo documentation with a clear invoice.
Will Hydro Jetting Make a Mess?
It shouldn't. Jetting mostly happens at a clean-out or other access point, and we protect the area around it. Inside a home, that means drop cloths and shoe covers. In a commercial kitchen, we protect floors and equipment and clean up before we leave. That's the Klean Standard, on a job most people expect to be messy.
How Much Does Hydro Jetting Cost?
The price depends on the line size, access, how much buildup there is and whether we need a camera first. You'll have an upfront price before we start. If the camera shows a broken line, see drain cleaning for repair options.
