Hydro Jetting El Dorado County, CA

Stubborn Clogs Gone for Good

When drain snakes fail and chemicals can’t touch deep blockages, hydro jetting blasts away years of buildup, tree roots, and grease using high-pressure water—leaving pipes completely clean and flowing like new.

The Permanent Fix for Recurring Drain Problems

Hydro jetting uses pressurized water up to 4,000 PSI to completely clear your pipes. Unlike snaking that just pokes holes through clogs, our system removes everything: grease buildup, tree roots, mineral deposits, and years of accumulated debris.

This isn’t temporary drain clearing—it’s complete pipe restoration. Most customers are amazed how much better their drains work afterward, and how long the results last compared to traditional methods.

Results You'll Actually Notice

Real improvements that last years, not weeks—because dealing with the same problem repeatedly gets expensive.

Why Traditional Methods Keep Failing

Drain snakes only punch holes through blockages—the buildup stays stuck to pipe walls. Within weeks, you’re dealing with slow drains again because nothing was actually removed.

Placerville’s and El Dorado County, CA challenges make this worse. Tree roots grow aggressively seeking water during dry summers. Mineral-rich water leaves deposits that snakes can’t touch. Aging pipe systems develop rough surfaces that trap debris faster than newer pipes.

Hydro jetting addresses the root cause by removing everything, giving you genuinely clean pipes that stay clear much longer.

Complete Pipe Cleaning System

Exactly What You Get with Our Service

Every hydro jetting job starts with video inspection to see what we’re dealing with and confirm your pipes can handle the pressure safely. We locate problems, assess pipe condition, and explain exactly what we found.

Then specialized nozzles do different jobs—some cut through tough tree roots, others flush away debris, and some clean pipe walls completely. You’ll see immediate improvement in water flow, but the real value shows up months later when drains are still working perfectly.

Murray Plumbing finishes with another inspection to document the results and ensure everything is flowing properly.

Hydro Jetting FAQs

Common questions about our Hydro Jetting services

How much does hydro jetting cost in Placerville, CA?

Hydro jetting typically costs $450-$900 for residential properties, depending on blockage severity and pipe accessibility. While more expensive upfront than snaking, most customers save money long-term because results last years instead of months. We provide free estimates so you know costs before work begins. The investment often pays for itself by preventing emergency repairs and eliminating repeated service calls for the same recurring problems.

Is hydro jetting safe for older pipes?

When performed by experienced professionals, yes. We always start with camera inspection to assess pipe condition and age before using high-pressure water. Modern PVC pipes handle hydro jetting easily, while older cast iron or clay pipes require careful evaluation. Our 24+ years of experience means we know exactly how much pressure different pipe materials can handle safely. We’ll never recommend hydro jetting if there’s any risk to your plumbing system integrity.

How often should I schedule hydro jetting service?

Most residential properties benefit from hydro jetting every 18-24 months as preventive maintenance. Properties with large trees near sewer lines, hard water issues, or heavy garbage disposal use might need service more frequently. Commercial properties typically require cleaning every 6-12 months due to higher usage volumes. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend a realistic maintenance schedule based on your property’s unique conditions and usage patterns.

Can hydro jetting remove tree roots completely?

Yes, hydro jetting is extremely effective for tree root removal. High-pressure water cuts through roots and flushes them completely from your pipes, unlike snaking which just breaks them temporarily. In Placerville’s climate, trees send roots deep underground searching for water, especially during dry summer months. Our system removes the entire root mass and cleans away organic debris that originally attracted roots to your pipes.

What makes hydro jetting better than regular drain cleaning?

Regular drain snaking only pokes holes through blockages, leaving buildup stuck to pipe walls. Within weeks or months, debris accumulates again and you’re back to slow drains. Hydro jetting removes everything—grease, mineral deposits, soap scum, hair, and debris—from the entire pipe diameter. It’s like pressure washing your pipes from the inside. Results typically last years instead of months, making it far more cost-effective over time.

Do you provide emergency hydro jetting services?

Yes, we offer emergency plumbing services including hydro jetting for severe backups or completely blocked lines. While hydro jetting is often scheduled as preventive maintenance, we understand emergencies don’t wait for convenient timing. We respond quickly to urgent situations and can often resolve major blockages the same day. We carry hydro jetting equipment on our service trucks specifically for situations where traditional clearing methods won’t work effectively.
