Hydro jetting in Burbank

When snaking only buys you a few weeks, hydro jetting scours the whole pipe clean: grease, scale, sludge and roots.

What hydro jetting does

A jetter pushes water at high pressure through a specialized nozzle. Forward jets cut through the blockage while rear jets scrub the pipe walls and pull debris down the line. The result is a pipe that's clean along its whole diameter instead of having a small hole punched through the clog.

When jetting is the right call

  • Kitchen lines packed with grease
  • Main sewer lines with root intrusion
  • Cast iron pipe with heavy scale
  • Drains that clog again shortly after being snaked
  • Cleaning a line before a camera inspection or a repair

Camera first, then jet

We inspect the line with a camera before jetting. If a pipe is cracked, separated or collapsed, jetting isn't the answer, and we'll show you what we saw and recommend a sewer line repair instead. After jetting, a second look confirms the line is clean.

FAQ

Common questions

Is hydro jetting worth it?

For recurring clogs, grease-heavy kitchen lines and root intrusion, usually yes. Jetting cleans the full diameter of the pipe, so the line tends to stay clear longer than after a basic snaking.

Can hydro jetting damage pipes?

On pipe that's in good condition, no. That's why we run a camera first. If the line is cracked, collapsed or badly corroded, we'll tell you before jetting and recommend a repair instead.

How long does hydro jetting last?

It depends on what caused the buildup. A grease clog in a well-used kitchen line or roots in an old clay sewer can return over time. We'll tell you what we saw on camera and what will keep it clear.
