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.

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.

Hydro Jetting Solutions for North Hills Properties
A backed-up sewer line rarely picks a convenient time to fail, and in North Hills, where many properties sit on aging clay or cast-iron pipe, it can strike without much warning.
Hydro jetting sends water at 3,000 to 4,000 PSI through a flexible hose fitted with specialized nozzles, including rotary root-cutters and grease-cutting heads, to scour the full interior wall of the pipe. Unlike a cable snake that punches a hole through a clog, jetting scrubs the entire diameter clean. Our crew inspects the line with a CCTV camera before and after the job to verify the blockage source and confirm the flow is fully restored.
North Hills sits on a mix of older single-family homes and busier commercial corridors, and that combination brings a variety of sewer challenges. Mature trees on residential lots send roots probing into old sewer laterals, while restaurants and retail spaces along the area's commercial strips deal with grease buildup that narrows kitchen lines over time. Seasonal rain also tests storm drains and catch basins that haven't been cleared in a while.
Our technicians handle main sewer line jetting, residential and commercial drain cleaning, and targeted work on kitchen and bathroom lines where grease, hair, and soap scum tend to collect. For North Hills properties dealing with invasive roots or scaled cast-iron pipe, we run rotary root-cutting jets and mechanical descaling to bring pipes back to bare wall. Storm drain and floor drain jetting round out our services for properties managing runoff or standing water issues.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right nozzle and pressure setting to match your pipe material and clog type, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. We stand behind our work with camera verification so you can see the results, not just take our word for it. Reach out to schedule a hydro jetting appointment for your North Hills property today.
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 North Hills 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 North Hills home?
Cost depends on the length of the line, the severity of the clog, and whether a camera inspection is needed first. Most residential jobs are priced after our technicians assess the pipe condition and access points. We provide a free quote before any work begins so there are no surprises.
Is hydro jetting safe for the older pipes common in North Hills?
Yes, when performed by trained technicians who match water pressure to the pipe material and condition. We inspect the line with a camera first to check for existing damage, and we adjust PSI and nozzle choice accordingly for older clay or cast-iron pipe. This prevents unnecessary stress on fragile sections.
What's the difference between jetting and snaking for a clogged drain?
Snaking uses a cable to punch or drill through a blockage, opening a path but often leaving residue on the pipe walls. Hydro jetting uses pressurized water to scour the entire interior diameter, removing grease, scale, and debris more thoroughly. For recurring clogs, jetting typically provides longer-lasting results.
How do I know if tree roots are affecting my North Hills sewer line?
Warning signs include gurgling drains, slow flow in multiple fixtures, and recurring backups especially after heavy water use. Mature trees on many North Hills lots have root systems that can find their way into small cracks or joints in sewer laterals. A camera inspection confirms root intrusion and shows exactly where the roots have entered the line.
Can hydro jetting help with grease buildup in commercial kitchens?
Yes, grease-cutting jet nozzles are specifically designed to break down hardened fat, oil, and grease coating the inside of kitchen drain lines. This restores the pipe's full flow capacity, which is important for restaurants and food service businesses in North Hills that deal with frequent FOG accumulation. Scheduled jetting can also help prevent emergency backups during business hours.
