Hydro Jetting in Riverside County, CA

In simple terms, it’s power-washing the inside of your pipes. A special nozzle shoots pressurized water — anywhere from about 1,500 to 4,000, depending on the job — in all directions while it travels through the pipe. It strips everything off the walls: grease, scale, roots, sludge, whatever is in there. When it’s done, the pipe looks about as clean as the day it was installed.

Not when it’s done right. That’s exactly why we run a camera through the line before we start. We need to see what the pipe is made of, how old it is, and whether there are any weak spots or cracks. We adjust the pressure based on what we find, and the IAPMO has guidelines on matching pressure to pipe type that we follow closely. PVC, cast-iron, clay, copper — hydro jetting works safely on all of them as long as the right settings are used. If we see something on the camera that concerns us, we’ll tell you and suggest a different approach instead.

It depends on how long the pipe run is, how bad the blockage is, where the cleanout is located, and whether a camera inspection is needed. We’ll give you a straight number before we start — no surprises, no add-ons halfway through the job. Call us at (951) 880-3727 and we can usually give you a ballpark over the phone once we know the basics.

For most homes, every one to two years keeps things running great. If you’ve got big trees near your sewer line, once a year is a good idea to stay ahead of root growth. Restaurants and commercial kitchens usually need it every three to six months, hs depending on volume. The PHCC recommends setting up a regular schedule rather than waiting for a problem to happen, and we can help you figure out the right frequency based on what we see in your pipes.

Yes, and it does a much better job than snaking. A snake cuts through roots, but they grow right back. Hydro jetting strips them off the pipe walls completely, which means it takes much longer for them to become a problem again. If the roots keep coming back because the pipe has cracks where they’re getting in, we can talk about trenchless pipe lining to seal things up for good.

Think of it this way — snaking is like poking a hole through a snowdrift so you can walk through. Hydro jetting is like plowing the entire road. Both get you moving, but one lasts a lot longer. Snaking breaks through the clog but doesn’t clean the pipe walls. Hydro jetting cleans the whole pipe and removes all buildup, restoring full flow. For a simple one-time clog, snaking is usually fine. For anything recurring, stubborn, or in the main sewer line, hydro jetting is the smarter move.

Every single time. We won’t jet a line without looking inside first. The camera tells us what we’re dealing with, whether the pipe can handle it, and what settings to use. After the jetting, we run it again so you can see the results yourself. It’s the right way to do it, and it protects both your pipes and your wallet.

Nope. Everything is done through your existing cleanout access point — no digging, no trenching, no holes in the yard. Your landscaping, driveway, patio — everything stays exactly the way it was. That’s one of the big advantages over old-school methods where they’d have to dig up half the yard just to get to the pipe.

That’s actually one of the smartest things you can do. Think of it like getting your car’s oil changed — you don’t wait until the engine seizes to take care of it. Preventive hydro jetting helps you avoid unexpected emergencies, extends the life of your pipes, keeps everything flowing at full capacity, and catches small issues before they turn into big ones. The EPA recommends proactive sewer maintenance for exactly this reason. We offer maintenance plans for homeowners and businesses that include scheduled jetting, camera inspections, and priority service if something does come up. Way cheaper than dealing with emergencies.
