hydro jetting

As experienced drain cleaning specialists, we can tell you that for some clogs, standard drain solutions just don’t get the job done right. Frequent or persistent drain clogs caused by roots, heavy grease or sludge, hard scale and/or other blockages may be in need of a heavy-duty solution. For more than two decades, City Plumbing & Rooter has been expertly offering drain cleaning services with hydro jetting in Ventura County and the surrounding areas, and we can help you tackle any clog.

What Is Hydro Jetting?

Using high-pressure water streams and specialty nozzles, hydro jetting cleans, descales, and removes the toughest clogs for your home or business. Hydro jetting uses between 1,500 and 4,000 PSI to scour the insides of pipelines, removing years of hard scale, cutting through roots, and dissolving grease and sludge backing up your pipes. Specialty nozzles attached to jetting hoses are designed for specific drain blockages and pipe diameters. They strategically direct the flow of water to rotate once inside the line. This is important to the hydro jetting process and requires advanced training and skill to properly clean drain lines. While snaking lines can clear minor clogs and even some root intrusion, hydro jetting services are the most effective method of cleaning kitchen and sewer lines.

When Is Hydro Jetting Used?

Drains become clogged due to heavy buildup, abuse of the line, roots, and clogs over time. In kitchen lines, the most common clogs result from grease, fats, and oils accumulating on the inside of the pipe. They slowly close off the diameter of the line, causing backups. A professional snaking of the kitchen line will typically be the first step in unclogging the line. If the snake encounters a hard blockage or grease and sludge is pulled back from the line, our drain experts will usually recommend a kitchen hydro jetting service. It will remove the blockages and clean the line which can also remove any unsightly odors caused by the buildup in the line.

Commercial kitchen lines can frequently clog due to the heavy use and grease and cooling oil that will naturally get into the drain lines, even when using the utmost care. Commercial spaces can benefit from routine preventive maintenance hydro jetting. Ventura County business owners can schedule convenient maintenance with our team at City Plumbing & Rooter and have peace of mind their lines will remain clear during even the busiest dinner rush.

Hydro jetting is not just for kitchen lines! Main sewer line hydro jetting will remove the hard scale buildup that accumulates on aging pipes, sludge, and roots from the line. Cutting heads on snakes can clear minor root intrusion, but roots are no match for the high water pressure and rotating jetter nozzles used in hydro jetting. All in all, when the clog is too much for a traditional snake, hydro jetting is the right tool to get pipes clean.

hydro jetting drain cleaning costs

Hydro jet drain cleaning cost can vary depending on a number of factors, including the size of the drain, the severity of the clog, and the location of the blockage. On average, hydro jet drain cleaning can cost anywhere from $350 to $600 per hour, with larger or more complex jobs costing more. However, it is important to note that hydro jetting is often a more cost-effective solution than traditional drain cleaning methods, as it can be more thorough and long-lasting, reducing the need for frequent cleanings and repairs.
