Homeowners · Landlords · Renters (with owner approval)
Commercial Hydro Jet Drain Cleaning High-flow penetrating nozzle
Scheduled and emergency jetting for restaurants, retail and commercial buildings to keep high-volume drain lines flowing.
Heavy daily use packs grease, sludge and debris into commercial lines, risking shutdowns and code issues.

Kitchen Drain Hydro Jetting Grease-cutting nozzle
Cuts through hardened grease and food waste coating the inside of kitchen drain lines and restores the full pipe diameter.
Grease (FOG) cools and hardens on pipe walls, narrowing the line until water backs up into the sink.
Homeowners · Restaurants · Commercial kitchens
Bathroom Drain Hydro Jetting Multi-jet flushing nozzle
Clears hair, soap scum and mineral buildup from shower, tub, sink and toilet branch lines for reliable drainage.
Hair and soap bind together into dense clogs that snaking only punches a hole through instead of removing.
Homeowners · Hotels · Property managers
Storm Drain Hydro Jet Cleaning Heavy-debris flushing nozzle
Removes silt, leaves, mud and debris from storm drains and catch basins so runoff clears fast and flooding is prevented.
Sediment and yard debris build up in storm lines, causing pooling and flooding during California's wet season.
HOAs · Municipalities · Property owners
Floor Drain Hydro Jet Cleaning Penetrating flushing nozzle
Jets out grease, sludge and grit from basement, garage, warehouse and commercial floor drains to stop odors and overflow.
Neglected floor drains collect debris and dry out, leading to slow drainage, foul smells and backups.

Tree Root Removal with Hydro Jetting Rotary root-cutting (warthog) nozzle
Rotary root-cutting jets slice through invasive roots inside the pipe and flush them out, reopening the full line.
Roots seek moisture at pipe joints, spreading into a mesh that traps waste and cracks older sewer pipe.

Sewer Pipe Descaling Descaling chain + jetting
Mechanical descaling and jetting strips rust, scale and mineral buildup from cast-iron and metal pipe back to bare wall.
Corrosion and scale flake off inside old cast-iron pipe, snagging debris and shrinking the usable diameter.

Hydro Jetting Solutions Built for SLO Properties
A sewer that backs up at the worst possible moment is more common in San Luis Obispo than most homeowners expect, especially in properties built decades ago with aging clay or cast-iron lines.
Hydro jetting sends a controlled stream of water, pressurized to 3,000-4,000 PSI, through a flexible hose fitted with a specialized nozzle. Rotary root-cutting heads slice through intrusions, penetrating nozzles blast through packed debris, and grease-cutting tips liquefy buildup coating pipe walls. Our technicians run a CCTV camera before and after the job to confirm the line is scoured clean to its original diameter.
San Luis Obispo's mix of historic downtown buildings and mature residential neighborhoods means many properties still run on original clay or cast-iron sewer lines, which are especially vulnerable to root intrusion from the area's mature trees. Local restaurants and cafes along with commercial kitchens also generate steady grease loads that narrow drain lines over time. Seasonal rains add silt and debris to storm drains, making periodic jetting a practical way to prevent backups before they start.
Our crew handles main sewer line jetting, residential kitchen and bathroom drain cleaning, and commercial jetting for restaurants and retail spaces throughout San Luis Obispo. We also tackle tree root removal, storm drain and floor drain cleaning, and descaling for older cast-iron pipe that has narrowed with rust and mineral scale. Whatever the drain type, our technicians match the nozzle and pressure to the pipe material and the blockage.
Our licensed and insured team brings the training, equipment, and camera diagnostics needed to solve sewer and drain problems correctly the first time, without guesswork or harsh chemicals. San Luis Obispo homeowners and business owners trust us to clear lines fully and document the results. Reach out today to schedule an inspection or hydro jetting service.
Hydro jetting, explained
Know exactly what you're paying for
No jargon, no pressure. Here's how professional hydro jetting works and when it's the right call for your San Luis Obispo property.
How does hydro jetting actually work?
A hose fitted with a specialized nozzle is fed into the drain or sewer line. Pressurized water — usually 3,000 to 4,000 PSI — fires backward-angled jets that pull the hose upstream while scouring the entire inner wall of the pipe. Grease, sludge, scale and roots are cut loose and flushed downstream, restoring the pipe to its full diameter. Because it cleans the whole circumference rather than boring a hole through the middle, jetted lines stay clear far longer than snaked ones.
Hydro jetting vs. drain snaking (augering) — which do I need?
A snake (auger) is a flexible cable that punches through or hooks a clog to reopen flow fast — great for a single stoppage or as an emergency first step. Hydro jetting cleans: it removes the buildup coating the pipe wall so the problem does not come straight back. For recurring clogs, grease, scale or roots we recommend jetting; for a one-off blockage or fragile pipe, snaking may be the safer call. We carry both and pick based on what the camera shows.
Is it safe for older or cast-iron pipes?
Yes, when the pressure and nozzle are matched to the pipe. We inspect first. Sound pipe handles full pressure; older cast-iron or clay lines get lower pressure or a descaling head, and truly fragile pipe is snaked instead of jetted. The camera inspection is what keeps jetting safe — we never blast blind.
What does hydro jetting cost, and how often is it needed?
Cost depends on line length, access and how severe the blockage is — we give a firm quote after a quick look, often after a camera inspection. Most homes benefit from jetting every 18–24 months; restaurants and heavy-grease kitchens often schedule every 3–6 months. Regular jetting is far cheaper than an emergency backup or a pipe replacement.
Will it get rid of tree roots for good?
Rotary root-cutting nozzles slice roots back to the pipe wall and flush them out, fully reopening the line. Roots regrow, so for lines with repeat intrusion we pair jetting with a maintenance schedule (and can recommend a lasting fix if the joint is failing). It is the most thorough clearing short of replacing the pipe.
What is sewer pipe descaling?
In old metal pipe, rust and mineral scale flake off the wall, snag debris and shrink the usable diameter. Descaling uses a chain-flail or specialty head plus jetting to strip that buildup back to bare pipe, so water flows like the line is new — often extending the life of cast-iron systems by years.

(800) 771-8303How much does hydro jetting cost for a San Luis Obispo home?
Cost depends on pipe length, blockage severity, and whether a camera inspection is needed first. Most residential jobs are priced after our technician assesses the line, since a simple clog costs less to clear than heavy root intrusion or scale buildup. We provide a clear quote before starting any work.
Is hydro jetting safe for the older cast-iron pipes common in SLO homes?
Yes, when performed by trained technicians who adjust pressure and nozzle type to the pipe's condition. We inspect with a camera first to check for existing damage or thinning walls, since jetting is not recommended for severely deteriorated pipe. In most cases, jetting actually helps by removing corrosion and scale that narrow cast-iron lines.
What's the difference between hydro jetting and drain snaking?
Snaking uses a metal cable to punch a hole through a clog, which restores flow but leaves residue coating the pipe walls. Hydro jetting uses pressurized water to scour the entire pipe diameter clean, removing grease, roots, and buildup rather than just piercing through it. We often recommend jetting for a more complete, longer-lasting result.
Can hydro jetting remove tree roots from my sewer line?
Yes, our rotary root-cutting nozzles are designed specifically to slice through roots that have grown into pipe joints and cracks. The high-pressure water then flushes the cut root material out of the line completely. For properties with recurring root problems, we can also discuss follow-up scheduling to stay ahead of regrowth.
