Hydro jetting in Concord & the Bay Area.
High-pressure pipe cleaning. Roots, grease, scale — completely cleared.
Snaking clears a hole. Hydro jetting scours the entire pipe wall — removing years of grease, mineral buildup, and root intrusion that a mechanical snake can't reach. We inspect before we jet, and verify the results after.
Camera inspection included

What We Do
Complete pipe wall clearing.
Not just clearing a path.
A drain snake creates a passage through a blockage — but the buildup stays on the pipe walls. Within weeks, grease and scale start catching debris again, and you're back to slow drains. Hydro jetting removes the entire buildup layer, restoring your pipes closer to original flow capacity.

How It Works
Inspect first.
Jet clean.
Verify after.
- Step 1:
Camera Inspection First
We run a pipe camera before jetting so we know exactly what we're clearing and confirm the pipe can handle high pressure.
- Step 2:
Set Up the Equipment
High-pressure hose is fed into the drain. We use 3,000–4,000 PSI to blast through blockages.
- Step 3:
Hydro Jet the Line
The omnidirectional nozzle blasts forward and backward, clearing grease, scale, roots, and debris from pipe walls.
- Step 4:
Final Camera Check
We run the camera again after jetting to confirm the line is fully clear and structurally intact.
Right Tool for the Job
Snaking vs. hydro jetting —
which do you need?
When to use hydro jetting
The right tool depends on what's causing the clog.
Recurring grease clogs
Hydro jetSnaking punches through grease; jetting removes it from the pipe walls entirely. Prevents reoccurrence.
Root intrusion
Jet + inspectHigh pressure cuts roots back. Camera inspection confirms whether pipe repair is also needed.
First-time slow drain
Snake firstSimpler clogs don't always need high pressure. We recommend the right tool for the job.
Signs hydro jetting is the right call
These are the situations where high pressure pays off.
- Drain keeps clogging within weeks of clearing
- Slow drains throughout the house
- Grease-heavy kitchen drain lines
- Preparing to sell or buying a home
- Commercial kitchen / high-use lines
- Roots confirmed via camera inspection
FAQ
Common questions
What homeowners ask before scheduling hydro jetting.
Hydro jetting typically costs $300–$600 for a residential line, depending on the length of the run, severity of the buildup, and whether a camera inspection is included. We provide a price before we start — no surprises.
When done correctly on appropriate pipe material, hydro jetting is safe. That's why we run a camera inspection first — to confirm your pipes are in good enough condition to handle the pressure. We won't jet a pipe that's cracked, heavily corroded, or at risk. Modern PVC, ABS, and copper lines in sound condition handle 3,000–4,000 PSI without issue.
Snaking (mechanical auger) punches a hole through a blockage and pulls debris out. It's effective for isolated clogs. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the entire interior wall of the pipe — removing grease film, mineral scale, root fragments, and organic buildup that a snake leaves behind. If your drain keeps clogging, snaking is treating the symptom; jetting addresses the cause.
Most residential hydro jetting jobs take 1–2 hours. That includes the pre-jetting camera inspection, the actual jetting, and the post-jetting camera pass to confirm results. Longer runs or heavily impacted lines may take a bit more time.
Yes — and we require it. A camera inspection tells us what's causing the blockage and whether the pipe wall is strong enough for high-pressure water. Jetting a compromised pipe can cause a collapse or displacement. The inspection protects you and ensures we're using the right approach.
For most residential properties, every 18–24 months is a reasonable preventive schedule if you've had recurring clogs. Homes with mature trees near the sewer lateral, older cast iron lines, or heavy kitchen grease output may benefit from annual service. We'll tell you what makes sense for your situation after the inspection.
Yes. We service commercial kitchens, restaurant grease lines, multi-unit residential buildings, and commercial sewer laterals throughout Contra Costa County. Commercial lines often require higher-capacity equipment — call us at (925) 288-0409 to discuss your property.
Customer Reviews
Results that speak
for themselves.
“They hydro jetted our main line — hadn't been fully clear in years. No more backups since. The tech ran a camera before and after so we could actually see the difference. Worth every penny.”
“Our kitchen drain clogged every few weeks for two years. After hydro jetting, it's been six months and not a single slow drain. Should have called sooner instead of buying drain cleaner.”
“Professional from start to finish. Camera inspection showed roots in our sewer lateral, they jetted it clean, then confirmed it with a second camera pass. Really clear communication throughout.”
