Hydro Jetting in Colton, CA
A standard snake punches a hole through a clog. Hydro jetting blasts the entire inside of the pipe clean with high-pressure water, stripping away grease, scale and root hair from the pipe wall itself. For drains that clog again and again, this is usually the fix that finally makes it stop. Available with same-day scheduling, every day of the week.
Hydro Jetting vs. Snaking
A drain snake is a cable with a cutting head that pushes through whatever is blocking the pipe, which clears the immediate clog. Hydro jetting uses a specialized nozzle that sprays water in every direction at high pressure, scouring the full diameter of the pipe as it travels through, not just the center.
The difference matters most for grease-lined kitchen lines, pipes with years of mineral scale from Colton's hard water, and sewer lines with root hair growing in through old joints. Snaking those lines brings relief for a while. Jetting actually removes what is coating the pipe.

Restaurant and kitchen lines with years of buildup.
Best for roots
Sewer lines with root hair growing through old joints.
Best for scale

Best for repeats
Any drain that clogs again within a few months of snaking.
Our Hydro Jetting Process
Camera inspection first
We run a sewer camera through the line to confirm jetting is the right tool and check for any cracks the pressure could worsen.
Access the line
We feed the jetting hose in through an existing cleanout, so no digging or cutting into walls is needed in most homes.
Jet the full length
The nozzle pulls itself forward while spraying water backward, scouring grease, scale and roots from the entire pipe wall.
Verify the result
A follow-up camera pass or flow test confirms the line is fully open, not just temporarily cleared.
What Hydro Jetting Costs
Hydro jetting costs more than a basic snaking visit because of the specialized equipment involved, but it often saves money over time by preventing the repeat service calls a recurring clog causes. Price depends on pipe length, access, and how much buildup has to be cleared.
We confirm camera findings with you first. You will see what we see before we recommend jetting over a simpler fix.

Hydro Jetting FAQs
Can hydro jetting damage old pipes?
That is exactly why we camera-inspect first. Jetting is safe for most pipe materials and conditions, but a severely cracked or already-failing pipe may need repair instead of jetting, and we will tell you if that is the case.
How long does hydro jetting take?
Most residential lines take about one to two hours from setup to a verified clean line, depending on pipe length and how much buildup has accumulated.
Will jetting get rid of roots permanently?
Jetting clears root hair from inside the pipe, but if roots are entering through a crack or a bad joint, they can eventually grow back. In that case we will discuss a permanent repair option alongside jetting.
Is hydro jetting louder or messier than snaking?
There is some noise from the jetting unit, which usually stays outside near the truck, and we protect the work area around any indoor cleanout just as we would for a standard drain cleaning visit.
Do you offer hydro jetting for commercial kitchens?
Yes, and it is one of our most requested services for restaurants, since grease buildup in commercial lines happens faster than in a typical home. See our commercial plumbing page.
