You know that feeling when your drains finally work the way they should. Water flows fast. No more gurgling sounds. No more backing up during heavy rains that hit River every winter.
That’s what happens when we hydro jet your pipes instead of just poking holes through the problem. The high-pressure water scours every inch of your pipe walls clean, removing years of grease buildup, soap scum, and debris that traditional snaking leaves behind.
Most customers tell us their drains work better than they have in years. Some haven’t needed another service call in over two years because the cleaning was so thorough.
We’ve been solving River’s toughest drain problems for over two decades. We’re the local team that shows up when we say we will and charges exactly what we quote.
Our family-owned business understands how California’s heavy winter rains can overwhelm aging sewer systems in River. We’ve seen what happens when tree roots infiltrate pipes and when years of buildup finally cause a complete backup.
That’s why we invested in professional hydro jetting equipment. Most plumbing companies in the area don’t have it because the machines cost tens of thousands of dollars and require specialized training to operate safely.
First, we inspect your pipes with a waterproof camera to see exactly what we’re dealing with. This tells us if your pipes can handle the high-pressure cleaning and shows us where the problems are located.
Next, we insert the hydro jetting hose through a cleanout or access point. The specialized nozzle blasts water at up to 4,000 PSI in all directions, scrubbing the entire diameter of your pipes clean. Forward-facing jets break through clogs while backward-facing jets propel the head forward and flush everything downstream.
The whole process typically takes a few hours depending on your pipe length and the severity of buildup. When we’re done, your pipes are as clean as the day they were installed, and all the debris has been flushed safely into the municipal sewer system.

Every hydro jetting service includes a pre-inspection camera check to ensure your pipes can handle the pressure safely. We won’t risk damaging old or cracked pipes just to make a sale.
You get complete pipe cleaning that removes grease, soap buildup, mineral deposits, small tree roots, and years of accumulated debris. This is especially important in River where clay soil and mature trees create unique challenges for homeowners’ sewer lines.
The service comes with transparent pricing – no surprise charges or hidden fees. What we quote is what you pay, even if the job takes longer than expected. We also provide a detailed explanation of what we found and recommendations for preventing future problems.
Hydro jetting in River typically costs between $350-$600 for residential service, depending on the severity of your blockage and pipe accessibility. While this costs more than basic snaking ($100-$200), the results last much longer because we’re actually cleaning your pipes, not just poking holes through clogs.
Most customers find hydro jetting saves money long-term because they need fewer service calls. Instead of calling a plumber every few months for recurring clogs, many of our River customers go years between services.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay with no surprise charges.
We always inspect your pipes with a camera first to determine if they can safely handle high-pressure cleaning. Hydro jetting is actually safer than mechanical snaking for most pipe materials because there are no metal tools scraping against your pipe walls.
However, pipes that are already cracked or severely deteriorated may not be good candidates. That’s why the camera inspection is so important – we can spot potential problems before applying any pressure.
For pipes in good condition, hydro jetting is safe for PVC, copper, cast iron, and most other materials commonly found in River homes. The water pressure is controlled and directed specifically to clean buildup without damaging the pipe structure.
Most River homeowners benefit from hydro jetting every 2-3 years as preventive maintenance, though this varies based on your household size, what goes down your drains, and local conditions like tree roots.
If you have mature trees on your property, you might need service more frequently because roots naturally grow toward moisture in sewer lines. Homes with garbage disposals or frequent cooking may also need more regular cleaning due to grease buildup.
The best approach is to have us inspect your pipes when you notice early warning signs like slow drains, gurgling sounds, or occasional backups. Catching problems early with hydro jetting prevents expensive emergency situations later.
Snaking uses a metal cable to punch a hole through clogs, which provides temporary relief but leaves most of the buildup stuck to your pipe walls. It’s like poking a hole through a clogged coffee filter – water flows again, but the filter is still dirty.
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to completely clean the entire diameter of your pipes. It removes grease, soap scum, mineral deposits, and debris that snaking can’t touch. The cleaning is so thorough that your pipes look like new inside.
While snaking might fix your immediate problem for $100-$200, you’ll likely need service again within months. Hydro jetting costs more upfront but typically keeps your drains clear for years, making it more cost-effective long-term.
Yes, hydro jetting can cut through and remove smaller tree roots that have grown into your sewer line. The high-pressure water (up to 4,000 PSI) is powerful enough to slice through root intrusions and flush them out of your system.
However, if roots have caused significant pipe damage or if there are large root masses, you may need additional services like pipe repair or replacement. This is why we always do a camera inspection first – to see exactly what we’re dealing with.
For River homeowners, root intrusion is common because of our mature trees and clay soil conditions. Regular hydro jetting can help prevent small root problems from becoming expensive pipe replacement projects.
Hydro jetting is actually most effective during or right after heavy rains when you’re experiencing backups. The high-pressure cleaning can clear blockages that are causing rainwater to back up into your home through floor drains or toilets.
California’s winter storms put extra pressure on River’s aging sewer infrastructure, and many homeowners experience their first serious backup during heavy rain periods. This usually means there was already a partial blockage that the extra water flow exposed.
We provide emergency service during storm season because we know how urgent these situations become. Hydro jetting can often resolve rain-related backups the same day, preventing water damage to your home.
