Next, we insert a specialized hose into your drain line and blast high-pressure water through your pipes. The pressurized water cuts through years of hardened grease, hair, scale, soap scum, and even tree roots that have grown into your sewer line.

After clearing the blockage, we test your drains thoroughly to make sure water flows properly. We clean up completely and provide maintenance tips specific to your North Highlands home to help prevent future clogs.

North Highlands’ mix of older homes and newer developments creates different drainage challenges. Older pipes accumulate more buildup over time, while newer systems can still clog from everyday use.

Common causes include grease and food particles in kitchen sinks, hair and soap scum in bathroom drains, and seasonal debris from California’s occasional heavy rains. Leaves, dirt, and organic matter wash into storm drains and can back up into your system.

Tree roots are another major issue in North Highlands. Mature trees throughout the area can send roots into sewer lines seeking water, creating major blockages that only hydro jetting can fully clear.

Most customers go years without another clog after professional hydro jetting. Unlike snaking that just pokes holes through blockages, hydro jetting completely removes buildup coating your pipe walls.
