Professional Drain Cleaning Latrobe

Your Drains Will Flow Like New Again

You know that feeling when your drains finally work the way they’re supposed to? Water disappears instantly. No gurgling sounds. No backing up when you run the dishwasher and washing machine at the same time.

That’s what happens after hydro jetting. While snaking just pokes a hole through the clog, hydro jetting uses pressurized water up to 5,000 PSI to completely scour your pipes clean. We’re talking about removing years of grease buildup, soap scum, hair, food particles, and even tree roots that have been choking your lines.

The difference is night and day. Most customers tell us their drains haven’t worked this well in years—sometimes decades. And because we clean the entire pipe wall, not just punch through the blockage, results typically last 1-2 years instead of a few months.

Hydro Jetting Process Latrobe

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your system with a sewer camera to see exactly what we’re dealing with. No guesswork, no surprises. This camera inspection also tells us if your pipes are in good enough condition for hydro jetting—because the last thing you want is a plumber who damages your pipes with high pressure.

Once we confirm hydro jetting is the right approach, we insert a specialized hose with a multi-directional nozzle into your drain line. This nozzle shoots high-pressure water in all directions—forward to blast through clogs, backward to propel the hose deeper into the line, and sideways to scrub the pipe walls completely clean.

The whole process typically takes 2-3 hours depending on your system’s complexity. As the water dislodges debris, everything flows safely out of your system. When we’re done, your pipes are as clean as the day they were installed.

What You Get With Our Service

Our hydro jetting service includes a complete diagnostic camera inspection, the actual hydro jetting process, and a follow-up inspection to confirm everything is flowing properly. We also provide you with a recording of the camera inspection so you can see the before and after.

Here in Latrobe and the broader El Dorado County area, we see a lot of issues with tree root intrusion—especially in older properties where mature oaks and other native trees have had decades to find their way into sewer lines. Our hydro jetting equipment is specifically designed to handle these California-specific challenges.

We also deal with the hard water issues common in our area, which create mineral buildup that standard snaking just can’t address. The high-pressure water cleaning removes these mineral deposits completely, restoring your pipes to their original diameter and improving flow dramatically.

How much does hydro jetting cost in Latrobe?

Hydro jetting typically costs between $400-800 for most residential jobs in our area, depending on the severity of the clog and accessibility of your lines. We always provide free estimates and won’t start any work without your approval of the final price.The investment makes sense when you consider that hydro jetting usually lasts 1-2 years compared to snaking, which might need to be repeated every few months for stubborn clogs. We’re not the cheapest option, but we’re often the most cost-effective when you factor in the longevity of results and our guarantee on the work.
This is exactly why we always start with a camera inspection. We need to see the condition of your pipes before we recommend hydro jetting. If your pipes have cracks, significant corrosion, or other structural issues, we’ll tell you upfront and recommend alternative solutions.For pipes in good condition, hydro jetting is actually gentler than you might think. The water pressure is controlled and directed, and our technicians have over 24 years of experience knowing exactly how much pressure to use for different pipe materials and conditions. We’d rather do the job right than risk damaging your system and creating a much bigger problem.
For most homes in Latrobe, once every 1-2 years is sufficient for preventive maintenance. However, this depends heavily on your specific situation. If you have large trees near your sewer line, you might need it more frequently. If you’re careful about what goes down your drains, you might go longer.We typically recommend hydro jetting when you start noticing multiple drains running slowly, gurgling sounds, or odors coming from your drains. These are signs that buildup is starting to affect your system’s performance. It’s much more cost-effective to address these issues proactively rather than waiting for a complete backup.
Snaking punches a hole through the clog, which temporarily restores flow but leaves most of the buildup stuck to your pipe walls. It’s like clearing a path through a forest—you can get through, but all the trees are still there. Within weeks or months, the remaining debris catches new material and you’re clogged again.Hydro jetting completely removes the buildup from the entire pipe interior. It’s like clear-cutting that forest and leaving nothing but clean soil. The high-pressure water scours away grease, mineral deposits, soap scum, hair, and other debris that’s been accumulating for years. That’s why hydro jetting results last so much longer than snaking.
Yes, hydro jetting is highly effective at removing tree roots, which is a common problem here in Latrobe where mature trees are abundant. The high-pressure water can cut through most root intrusions and flush them out of your system completely.However, hydro jetting doesn’t prevent roots from growing back. If roots have found their way into your pipes, there’s likely a crack or joint where they entered, and they’ll eventually return. We’ll discuss long-term solutions during our inspection, which might include pipe lining or strategic root barriers, depending on your specific situation.
Absolutely. We guarantee our hydro jetting work for 30 days, and most of the time, you won’t need any follow-up service for 1-2 years. Because hydro jetting is so thorough, callbacks are rare compared to other drain cleaning methods.If you experience any issues within our guarantee period, we’ll come back and make it right at no additional charge.
