Hear from Our Customers
When your drains are backing up, you don’t want a temporary fix that’ll have you calling again in three months. Hydro jetting uses pressurized water up to 4,000 PSI to completely scour your pipe walls clean, removing years of grease, soap scum, hair, and mineral buildup that snaking leaves behind.
This isn’t just about clearing the immediate blockage. It’s about restoring your pipes to near-original condition so water flows freely and stays flowing. Most of our customers see results that last months or even years, compared to traditional methods that often need repeating within weeks.
You’ll notice the difference immediately – water drains faster, no more gurgling sounds, and that persistent backup problem finally stays solved.
We’ve built our reputation in Fair Oaks for showing up when we say we will and charging exactly what we quote – no surprise fees or “diagnostic charges” that turn into expensive upsells. Our customers regularly tell us the final bill came in lower than expected.
We know Fair Oaks homes and the unique challenges that come with this area’s older plumbing systems and tree-lined neighborhoods. Root intrusions, mineral buildup from local water conditions, and the settling that happens in established neighborhoods – we’ve seen it all and know how to handle it right the first time.
When you call us, you’re getting technicians who understand that a plumbing emergency doesn’t wait for business hours. That’s why we offer 24/7 emergency service with the same professional approach and fair pricing.
First, we inspect your pipes with a camera to locate the blockage and check your pipe condition. This step is crucial – it tells us if hydro jetting is the right solution and prevents any damage to older or compromised lines.
Next, we insert a specialized high-pressure hose into your drain line. The nozzle releases water in multiple directions, breaking apart everything in its path – grease, roots, scale, debris – while the powerful stream flushes it all away. We carefully adjust water pressure based on your specific pipe material and size.
The whole process typically takes 1-3 hours depending on the severity of buildup and length of lines being cleaned. You’ll see immediate results, and we’ll show you the before-and-after footage from our camera inspection so you can see exactly what was removed from your pipes.

Your hydro jetting service includes a complete camera inspection before and after cleaning, so you can see exactly what was causing your drainage issues and confirm everything’s been removed. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees – the quote you get is what you pay.
For Fair Oaks homes, we’re especially experienced with the root intrusions common in this tree-rich area and the mineral buildup that comes from local water conditions. Our equipment handles everything from simple grease clogs in kitchen lines to complex root systems that have invaded main sewer lines.
We also include a thorough cleanup of your property and a detailed explanation of what we found and removed. Many customers are amazed to see years of buildup that was restricting their water flow – buildup that traditional snaking would have left behind.
Hydro jetting typically costs $300-$500 depending on the severity and location of your blockage, while snaking usually runs $100-$200. Here’s why the investment makes sense: snaking often provides temporary relief by punching a hole through the clog, but it leaves buildup on your pipe walls that causes problems to return quickly.
With hydro jetting, you’re getting a complete pipe cleaning that removes all debris, grease, and buildup. Most customers find they save money long-term because they’re not calling for repeated drain cleanings every few months. The results typically last months or years instead of weeks.
Think of it as the difference between temporarily clearing a path versus actually cleaning the entire pipe. The upfront cost is higher, but you’re solving the problem instead of just managing it.
Yes, when performed by trained professionals using proper equipment and techniques. We always start with a camera inspection to assess your pipe condition before beginning any hydro jetting work. This lets us identify any compromised areas and adjust our approach accordingly.
For Fair Oaks homes with older cast iron, clay, or Orangeburg pipes, we carefully control water pressure and use specialized nozzles designed for different pipe materials. Our technicians are trained to recognize when hydro jetting isn’t appropriate and will recommend alternative solutions if needed.
The key is working with experienced professionals who understand different pipe materials and their limitations. DIY hydro jetting or inexperienced operators can cause damage, but proper professional service is safe and effective for most plumbing systems.
Hydro jetting results typically last months to years, while snaking often needs repeating within weeks or months. The difference comes down to how thoroughly each method cleans your pipes.
Snaking creates a hole through the blockage but leaves buildup on pipe walls that quickly reforms into new clogs. Hydro jetting completely removes all debris, grease, soap scum, and mineral deposits from the entire interior surface of your pipes, essentially restoring them to like-new condition.
For Fair Oaks homes dealing with recurring clogs, especially in kitchen drains with grease buildup or main lines affected by root intrusion, hydro jetting often provides a permanent solution where snaking was only offering temporary relief.
Yes, hydro jetting is highly effective at removing tree roots from sewer lines, which is particularly important for Fair Oaks homes surrounded by mature trees. The high-pressure water streams can cut through root masses and flush them completely out of your pipes.
However, hydro jetting doesn’t prevent roots from growing back if there are cracks or joints in your sewer line where roots can enter. After clearing the roots, we often recommend additional services like pipe lining or spot repairs to seal entry points and prevent future root intrusion.
For Fair Oaks properties with ongoing root problems, we can also set up preventive maintenance schedules to clear roots before they cause major blockages. Regular hydro jetting every 1-2 years often prevents the severe backups that require emergency service calls.
Several signs point to hydro jetting being the better solution: recurring clogs that keep coming back after snaking, multiple drains backing up at once, gurgling sounds from drains, slow drainage throughout your home, and sewage odors coming from drains.
If you’ve had the same drain snaked multiple times in recent months, that’s a clear indicator that snaking isn’t addressing the root cause. The buildup on your pipe walls is likely causing clogs to reform quickly, and hydro jetting can remove that buildup completely.
For Fair Oaks homes, we also recommend hydro jetting when dealing with main sewer line issues, especially if trees are present on your property. Root intrusion and the mineral buildup common in this area often require the thorough cleaning that only hydro jetting provides.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency hydro jetting services throughout Fair Oaks. Plumbing emergencies don’t wait for convenient times, and neither do we. When you’re dealing with sewage backing up into your home or complete drain blockages, you need immediate professional help.
Our emergency service includes the same thorough approach – camera inspection, proper equipment setup, and complete cleaning – even during after-hours calls. We maintain transparent pricing for emergency services too, so you won’t face surprise charges during an already stressful situation.
We typically can respond to Fair Oaks emergency calls within hours, not days. Our technicians carry fully equipped vehicles with professional hydro jetting equipment, so we can resolve most issues on the first visit without needing to schedule follow-up appointments.
