Hydro Jetting Process Citrus Heights

Here's Exactly How We Clear Your Pipes

First, we inspect your pipes with our sewer camera to see exactly what we’re dealing with and ensure your pipes can handle the pressure. No guesswork, no surprises—just a clear picture of what needs to be done.

Next, we insert a specialized high-pressure hose into your drain line. This isn’t your garden hose—we’re talking about water pressure up to 3,500 PSI that can cut through tree roots, dissolve grease buildup, and blast away debris that’s been accumulating for years.

The pressurized water scours every inch of your pipe walls, washing away everything downstream. When we’re done, your pipes are as clean as the day they were installed. The whole process typically takes 1-2 hours, and you’ll see the difference immediately when you run water down your drains.

Why Citrus Heights Homes Need Hydro Jetting

Citrus Heights’ clay soil and hard water create perfect conditions for pipe problems. Tree roots from mature oaks and elms seek out sewer lines, mineral deposits build up faster than other areas, and older homes often have pipes that haven’t been properly cleaned in decades.

Traditional snaking only punches a hole through clogs, leaving most of the buildup behind. That’s why the same drains keep clogging every few months—you’re treating the symptom, not the cause. Hydro jetting removes everything: grease, roots, mineral scale, and years of accumulated debris.

For Citrus Heights homeowners dealing with recurring drain issues, especially in older neighborhoods near Auburn Boulevard or homes with mature landscaping around Sunrise Mall area, hydro jetting often provides the permanent solution that other methods can’t deliver. It’s particularly effective for kitchen drains plagued by grease buildup and main sewer lines invaded by tree roots that keep growing back after snaking.

How much does hydro jetting cost in Citrus Heights?

Hydro jetting typically costs more upfront than traditional snaking, but it saves money long-term because it lasts so much longer. Most homeowners find the investment pays for itself within the first year by eliminating repeat service calls that can add up to hundreds of dollars.

We provide free estimates so you know exactly what to expect before we start any work. As a locally-owned business with low overhead, we keep our prices fair and competitive. Plus, we offer a 15% discount for new customers to help you experience the difference.

The exact cost depends on the severity of your clog and the length of pipe that needs cleaning, but most residential jobs are very reasonable when you consider you won’t need this service again for several years, unlike traditional methods that need repeating every few months.

When performed by professionals with proper equipment, hydro jetting is completely safe and often gentler on pipes than traditional rooting methods that can scratch and damage pipe interiors. We always start with a camera inspection to assess your pipe condition and ensure they can handle the pressure.

Our equipment allows us to adjust water pressure based on your specific pipe material and condition. We use different pressure levels for different situations—higher pressure for main sewer lines with cast iron or PVC, lower pressure for interior drain lines or older galvanized pipes.

If we discover any concerns during our camera inspection, like cracks or extremely old clay pipes, we’ll discuss alternative solutions before proceeding. We’ve been doing this for 24 years in Citrus Heights and have never damaged a pipe that was in good condition to start with.

Most homeowners go 2-4 years between hydro jetting services, compared to needing traditional drain cleaning every 6-12 months. The exact timeframe depends on your usage patterns, pipe material, and what caused the original clog.

For kitchen drains with heavy grease buildup from garbage disposals, you might need service every 18-24 months. For bathroom drains or main sewer lines, 3-5 years is common. Homes with large trees near sewer lines may need more frequent service, but it’s still much longer than traditional methods.

The key difference is that hydro jetting removes the root cause of clogs, not just the symptoms. When we’re done, your pipes are truly clean from wall to wall, which means problems take much longer to redevelop. Many customers are amazed they can go years without thinking about their drains.

Hydro jetting excels where traditional methods fail completely. Tree roots that have grown through pipe joints get completely removed, not just cut through to grow back in months. Grease buildup that coats pipe walls gets blasted away entirely. Mineral deposits from Citrus Heights’ hard water dissolve under high pressure.

We regularly clear clogs that have defeated multiple snaking attempts from other companies. Soap scum buildup, massive hair clogs, food waste accumulation, and even small objects that create partial blockages all get removed completely. If tree roots have been cut by snaking but keep growing back, hydro jetting removes the entire root system and debris.

The high-pressure water reaches every surface inside your pipe, something mechanical snakes simply cannot do. That’s why hydro jetting provides such dramatically longer-lasting results—it’s not just clearing a path, it’s restoring your entire pipe to like-new condition.

Yes, we provide emergency plumbing services throughout Citrus Heights, including hydro jetting when appropriate for your specific situation. However, we typically recommend starting with a camera inspection to ensure hydro jetting is the right solution for your particular emergency.

For severe backups or overflowing drains, we can often provide immediate relief with traditional methods to get your drains flowing again, then schedule hydro jetting once the emergency is resolved. This approach gets your drains working quickly while ensuring the long-term solution is done properly with full inspection.

We’re available for emergency calls and can usually respond the same day throughout Citrus Heights. Our goal is to solve your immediate problem fast and prevent it from happening again, which is exactly what hydro jetting delivers.

For most Citrus Heights homes, hydro jetting every 2-3 years provides excellent preventive maintenance that keeps drains flowing freely. Homes with heavy usage, large trees like the mature oaks common in older neighborhoods, or recurring drain issues may benefit from annual service.

Commercial properties or homes with garbage disposals often need more frequent service due to higher grease and food waste loads. We can assess your specific situation during our inspection and recommend an appropriate schedule based on your actual usage and pipe condition.

The beauty of hydro jetting is that it lasts so much longer than traditional cleaning methods. Many of our customers are amazed that they can go years without thinking about their drains after a single hydro jetting service—it’s truly a set-it-and-forget-it solution for most homes.
