hydro jet drain cleaning in ventura & la county

removing buildup, sludge, grease, and more

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.

The hydro jetting process

The hydro jetting process should be hassle-free for the customer as long as you use the help of an experienced professional! Here is what to expect with hydro jetting services:

Inspection. We will start by inspecting the drain with a camera to determine the location and severity of the blockage. This allows us to determine the best approach for the hydro jetting process.

Preparation. Our experienced professionals will prepare the hydro jetting equipment, including setting up the water source and attaching the specialized nozzle to the end of the hose.

Cleaning. Once the equipment is prepared, we will insert the hose and nozzle into the drain and turn on the water. The high-pressure water stream will blast away the blockage, breaking it apart and flushing it out of the drain.

Repeat. Depending on the severity of the blockage, our team may need to repeat the hydro jetting process several times to ensure that the drain is completely clean.

Final Inspection. After the hydro jetting is complete, wer will inspect the drain again with the camera to ensure that the blockage has been completely cleared and that the drain is flowing freely.

Maintenance. To prevent future blockages, we may recommend regular maintenance services, such as hydro jetting or drain snaking, depending on the needs of the system.

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. Additionally, many plumbing companies offer discounts or package deals for regular maintenance services, which can help to lower the overall cost of hydro jetting and other drain cleaning services.
