Your drains flow fast again. No more standing water in the shower or kitchen sink that takes forever to empty. No more worrying about what goes down the drain because your pipes can actually handle normal use.
The difference is complete cleaning versus temporary fixes. Traditional drain snakes just poke holes through clogs, leaving buildup on pipe walls that catches more debris. Hydro jetting strips everything clean with high-pressure water streams, removing grease, hair, soap scum, and years of accumulated grime that’s been slowing your drains.
You get months or even years of trouble-free drainage instead of calling for service every few weeks. Your pipes work the way they’re supposed to work.
Murray Plumbing has been solving Northern California’s toughest drain problems since we started. We’ve seen every type of clog, backup, and pipe issue that homes and businesses in Rescue, El Dorado Hills, and Placerville deal with.
The difference is experience and the right equipment. We use professional-grade hydro jetting systems and sewer cameras that show exactly what’s happening inside your pipes. No guessing, no trial and error.
Our family-owned business keeps overhead low so we can offer fair pricing and free estimates. When we quote a drain cleaning job, that’s what you pay. No surprise fees or diagnostic charges that some companies add on.
First, we inspect your drain with a waterproof camera to see exactly what’s causing the problem and check pipe condition. This tells us the best approach and confirms your pipes can handle high-pressure cleaning safely.
Next, we insert a specialized nozzle into your drain line and blast water at up to 4,000 PSI through the pipes. The high-pressure streams cut through roots, dissolve grease buildup, and scrub pipe walls completely clean. Forward-facing jets break through tough blockages while side and rear jets provide 360-degree cleaning.
Finally, we run the camera through again to verify everything is clear and flowing properly. You see the before and after so you know the job is done right. The entire process typically takes a few hours depending on the severity of blockages and pipe length.

Complete pipe cleaning that removes all debris, not just creates a hole through clogs. Your drains flow at full capacity again because we clean the entire interior surface of your pipes.
Video inspection before and after service so you see exactly what we found and confirm the work is complete. No guesswork about whether the problem is actually solved.
In Rescue and the surrounding El Dorado Hills area, we see a lot of issues from tree root intrusion and mineral buildup from hard water. The combination of older homes and mature landscaping means roots find their way into sewer lines, while local water conditions create scale deposits that catch debris. Our hydro jetting systems handle both problems effectively, cutting through roots and blasting away mineral buildup that regular drain cleaners can’t touch.
Hydro jetting typically keeps your drains clear for 1-2 years or longer, while snaking usually provides relief for just a few weeks or months. The difference is complete cleaning versus temporary hole-poking.
When you snake a drain, you’re just creating a path through the clog. All the grease, hair, soap scum, and debris stuck to your pipe walls stays there, ready to catch more material and create new blockages quickly. Hydro jetting strips your pipes completely clean, removing years of buildup from the interior surfaces.
Think of it like the difference between poking a hole through a dirty filter versus washing the filter completely clean. The clean filter works properly for a long time, while the dirty one with a hole clogs up again almost immediately.
Yes, when performed by experienced professionals with proper inspection first. We always run a camera inspection before hydro jetting to check pipe condition and identify any cracks or weak spots that could be damaged by high pressure.
Modern hydro jetting equipment allows us to adjust pressure based on your specific pipes. We use lower pressure for older clay or cast iron pipes and full pressure for newer PVC or ABS systems. Our technicians are trained to recognize pipe materials and conditions that require special handling.
Many older homes in Rescue and El Dorado Hills have cast iron or clay sewer lines that are 40-60 years old. These pipes can absolutely be hydro jetted safely when done correctly, but it requires experience to know the right approach for each situation.
Hydro jetting excels at clearing grease buildup, soap scum accumulation, mineral deposits, and tree root intrusion that snaking can’t effectively remove. It also handles multiple blockages throughout your pipe system in one service.
Grease is particularly problematic because it hardens on pipe walls and catches everything that flows past. Snaking just pokes through the center while leaving the grease layer intact. Hydro jetting dissolves and washes away the entire grease buildup, preventing rapid re-clogging.
Tree roots are another area where hydro jetting shines. While snaking might cut through some roots, hydro jetting cuts them completely and washes the debris away. The high-pressure water also helps prevent immediate regrowth by thoroughly cleaning root fragments from pipe joints where they typically take hold.
Hydro jetting typically costs 2-3 times more than a single snaking service, but saves money long-term by eliminating the need for repeated service calls every few months. Most customers find it more economical within the first year.
When you factor in the cost of calling for drain cleaning every 2-3 months, hydro jetting usually pays for itself quickly. Plus, you avoid the hassle and disruption of recurring drain problems, emergency calls, and potential water damage from backups.
We provide upfront pricing for hydro jetting service so you know exactly what you’re paying. Many customers are surprised that the total cost is often less than they’ve been spending on repeated snaking services that only provide temporary relief.
No, hydro jetting is performed entirely through existing drain access points like cleanouts or toilet flanges. There’s no digging or excavation required, so your landscaping, driveways, and property remain undisturbed.
The process works from inside your pipes using water pressure, not external force. We access your sewer line through the same openings that would be used for snaking or camera inspection. The high-pressure water stays contained within your pipe system.
This is especially important in established neighborhoods like Rescue where homes have mature landscaping and hardscaping that would be expensive to repair. Hydro jetting gives you thorough pipe cleaning without any of the property disruption associated with traditional excavation methods.
Most residential customers benefit from hydro jetting every 18-24 months, while commercial properties with heavy use may need service annually. The frequency depends on your usage patterns, pipe age, and local conditions.
Homes with garbage disposals, large families, or older pipes may need more frequent service. Properties with mature trees nearby often require annual hydro jetting due to ongoing root intrusion. We can assess your specific situation and recommend an appropriate maintenance schedule.
Regular hydro jetting is much more cost-effective than emergency service calls. Scheduled maintenance allows us to clean your pipes before serious blockages develop, preventing backups and extending the life of your plumbing system. Many customers find that preventive hydro jetting eliminates emergency plumbing calls entirely.
