Professional Drain Cleaning South Natomas

Your Drains Will Flow Like New
When traditional drain snaking keeps failing you, there’s a reason. Snaking only punches a hole through the clog, leaving all that buildup stuck to your pipe walls. Within months, you’re dealing with the same slow drains and backups. Hydro jetting changes that completely. We use high-pressure water streams—up to 3,000 PSI—to scour every inch of your pipes clean. Grease, hair, soap scum, mineral deposits, even tree roots get blasted away and flushed out of your system. The result? Pipes that flow like they’re brand new, and they stay that way for years instead of months. No more recurring clogs. No more emergency calls. Just reliable drainage that works when you need it.

Hydro Jetting Process South Natomas

Here's Exactly What Happens
First, we inspect your pipes with a camera to see exactly what we’re dealing with. This isn’t guesswork—we know where the clogs are and how severe the buildup is before we start. Next, we insert a specialized hose with a high-pressure nozzle into your drain line. The nozzle shoots water forward to break through clogs and backward to scrub the pipe walls clean. It’s like power washing the inside of your pipes. The water pressure—typically 1,500 to 3,000 PSI—cuts through everything: grease, hair, soap buildup, mineral deposits, and even tree roots. All that debris gets flushed completely out of your system, not just pushed further down the line. When we’re finished, we run the camera through again to show you the results. You’ll see pipes that look brand new inside, ready to handle years of normal use without backing up.

Hydro Jetting Services South Natomas

What You Get With Our Service
Our hydro jetting service includes a complete pipe inspection, high-pressure cleaning, and a follow-up camera check to verify results. You’re not just getting a quick fix—you’re getting a comprehensive pipe restoration. In South Natomas, we see a lot of issues with older sewer lines that have collected years of buildup. The area’s mature trees often send roots into sewer lines, and the region’s hard water leaves mineral deposits that traditional snaking can’t remove. That’s exactly what hydro jetting handles best. The high-pressure water cuts through tree roots, dissolves mineral buildup, and removes grease and debris that’s been accumulating for years. We’re not just clearing today’s clog—we’re preventing next year’s problems. Most customers see their drains flow better than they have in years, and they stay that way. While snaking might need to be repeated every few months, properly done hydro jetting typically keeps pipes clear for several years.

How much does hydro jetting cost compared to drain snaking?

Hydro jetting typically costs between $350-$600, while drain snaking might run $150-$300. The difference is what you’re actually getting for your money. Snaking just punches a hole through the clog, leaving all the buildup stuck to your pipe walls. You’ll likely need another service call within a few months when the problem returns. Hydro jetting removes everything—the clog, the buildup, the debris coating your pipes. When you factor in the repeat service calls that snaking usually requires, hydro jetting often costs less in the long run. Plus, you get years of trouble-free drainage instead of a temporary fix that fails when you least expect it.
This is exactly why we always start with a camera inspection. We need to see the condition of your pipes before we determine the right pressure settings. For pipes in good condition, hydro jetting is completely safe and won’t cause any damage. We can adjust the water pressure based on what your specific pipes can handle—older clay pipes get different treatment than newer PVC lines. If we find pipes that are already cracked or severely deteriorated, we’ll recommend alternative cleaning methods or discuss repair options first. We’re not interested in creating bigger problems for you. Our camera inspection ensures we use the right approach for your specific situation.
Most customers see their pipes stay clear for 2-4 years after professional hydro jetting, compared to a few months with traditional snaking. The exact timeframe depends on what’s going into your drains and how your household uses the plumbing. The reason hydro jetting lasts so much longer is simple: we’re not just clearing the clog, we’re removing all the buildup that causes future clogs. When your pipes are truly clean inside, it takes much longer for new debris to accumulate enough to cause problems. For preventive maintenance, many customers schedule hydro jetting every 3-4 years. That’s far less frequent than the every-few-months snaking cycle that most people get trapped in with traditional drain cleaning methods.
Yes, hydro jetting is one of the most effective ways to clear tree roots from sewer lines. The high-pressure water cuts through roots and flushes them completely out of your system. However, if roots have been growing in your pipes for years, they may have caused cracks or other damage that needs to be addressed. That’s why we always do a camera inspection first—we can see not just the roots, but any damage they might have caused. After we clear the roots with hydro jetting, we’ll show you the camera footage so you can see exactly what condition your pipes are in. If there’s damage that could let roots grow back quickly, we’ll discuss your options for permanent repairs. The goal is solving your problem long-term, not just clearing today’s blockage.
Hydro jetting is one of the most environmentally friendly drain cleaning methods available. It uses nothing but water—no harsh chemicals that can harm your pipes, your family, or the environment. Traditional drain cleaners contain caustic chemicals that can damage your pipes over time and create toxic fumes in your home. Chemical drain cleaners also end up in the water system, where they can cause environmental problems downstream. With hydro jetting, we’re using the same water that comes out of your tap, just at high pressure. All the debris we remove gets flushed into the sewer system where it belongs. There are no chemical residues left in your pipes and no toxic substances introduced into your home or the environment.
If you’re dealing with recurring clogs, slow drainage that keeps getting worse, or multiple drains backing up at once, you likely need hydro jetting. These are signs that you have significant buildup in your pipes, not just a simple blockage. Snaking works fine for isolated clogs—like when someone drops something down a drain or you have a one-time backup. But if you’ve had your drains snaked repeatedly and the problems keep coming back, that’s a clear sign that snaking isn’t addressing the real issue. We always start with a camera inspection to see exactly what’s happening in your pipes. This shows us whether you’re dealing with a simple clog that snaking can handle, or significant buildup that requires hydro jetting. We’re not interested in selling you more service than you need, but we also won’t recommend a temporary fix when you need a real solution.
