Professional Drain Cleaning Foresthill

Your Drains Will Actually Stay Clear
You know that sinking feeling when your drain backs up again just weeks after the last “fix.” Traditional snaking only pokes holes through clogs, leaving the real problem stuck to your pipe walls. Hydro jetting changes that completely. We blast away years of grease, mineral deposits, and debris with pressurized water up to 3,500 PSI. Your pipes get cleaned down to the original diameter, not just temporarily opened. The result? Drains that flow like new and stay that way for months or even years. No more emergency calls, no more recurring problems, no more throwing money at temporary solutions.

Hydro Jetting Process Foresthill

Here's Exactly What We Do
We start with a camera inspection to locate blockages and check your pipe condition. This isn’t just good practice—it’s essential for your safety and our effectiveness. Next, we position our hydro jetting equipment for optimal access to your pipes. The high-pressure water head goes in downstream and works its way back, ensuring we capture all debris as it’s blasted loose. The pressurized water does the heavy lifting, scouring away grease, mineral buildup, root intrusions, and years of accumulated gunk. Unlike snaking that just punches through, hydro jetting restores your pipes to nearly original condition. We finish with another camera inspection to confirm complete clearance and smooth water flow. You see the before and after, so you know exactly what you’re getting for your investment.

How often should I have my drains hydro jetted?

Most Foresthill homes benefit from hydro jetting every 1-2 years, but it depends on your specific situation. If you have hard water, mature trees near your sewer lines, or a busy household, you might need service more frequently. Commercial properties, especially restaurants and food service businesses, typically need hydro jetting every 6-12 months due to grease and food particle buildup. We’ll assess your pipes during service and recommend a maintenance schedule based on what we find. The good news is that hydro jetting results last much longer than traditional drain cleaning, so you’re not calling for service every few months like you might with snaking.
Hydro jetting is safe for most pipe materials when performed by trained professionals, but older pipes need special consideration. Clay pipes, severely corroded cast iron, and pipes with existing cracks could be damaged by high water pressure. That’s why we always start with a camera inspection. We check your pipe condition before we begin and adjust our approach accordingly. If your pipes can’t handle hydro jetting safely, we’ll recommend alternative solutions and explain your options. Modern PVC, ABS, and newer cast iron pipes handle hydro jetting without issues. We’ve been doing this long enough to know when to proceed and when to suggest a different approach.
Hydro jetting costs more upfront than traditional snaking, but it’s often more economical long-term because you need it less frequently. While snaking might cost $100-200, hydro jetting typically ranges from $300-600 depending on the complexity of your system. Consider that snaking often provides temporary relief, requiring repeat service calls every few months. Hydro jetting can keep your drains clear for years, eliminating those recurring service costs and the inconvenience of repeated blockages. We provide transparent pricing upfront, and many customers find their final bill comes in lower than our initial estimate. We’ll discuss your options and help you understand the long-term value of thorough pipe cleaning.
Yes, hydro jetting is highly effective against tree root intrusions, which are common in Foresthill due to our mature landscaping and older sewer systems. The high-pressure water cuts through roots and flushes them out of your pipes. However, hydro jetting doesn’t prevent roots from growing back. If you have aggressive root intrusion, you’ll likely need periodic maintenance to keep your lines clear. We can recommend a schedule based on how quickly roots return to your specific system. For severe root problems, we might suggest combining hydro jetting with other solutions like root barriers or pipe lining. We’ll assess your situation during the camera inspection and discuss your long-term options.
Traditional drain cleaning with snakes or augers only pokes holes through clogs, leaving most of the buildup stuck to your pipe walls. It’s like clearing a narrow path through a blocked tunnel—water flows, but the underlying problem remains. Hydro jetting completely removes buildup from pipe walls, restoring them to nearly original diameter. The high-pressure water scours away grease, mineral deposits, soap scum, and debris that snaking can’t touch. The result is dramatically different. Snaking provides temporary relief that might last weeks or months. Hydro jetting provides thorough cleaning that can keep your drains flowing freely for years. You’re not just opening a clog—you’re actually cleaning your pipes.
Most residential hydro jetting jobs take 1-3 hours, depending on how many lines need cleaning and the complexity of your system. We start with camera inspection, which takes 30-45 minutes, then the actual jetting process, followed by verification inspection. Commercial properties or systems with extensive blockages might take longer. We’ll give you a time estimate once we assess your specific situation during the initial inspection. The time investment is worth it because you’re getting a thorough, long-lasting solution rather than a quick temporary fix. Most customers find the peace of mind and long-term results justify the time spent getting it done right.
