When roots, grease or scale keep coming back, hydro jetting scours the inside of the pipe clean instead of just punching a hole through the clog. We hydro jet drains and sewer lines for Los Gatos and South Bay homes.
Hydro flushing, also called hydro jetting, is a technique that involves using high-pressured water to clear blockages within your plumbing system. A hydro jet is a special kind of pressure sprayer that breaks up and dislodges softer materials that cause pipe blockage.
How Does Hydro Jetting Work?
When clearing a sewer line, most people think a rooter snake with saw teeth is the best solution. While these work well against hard materials such as tree roots or other items lodged in a pipe, other materials are much better cleared by a hydro jet.
The hydro jet technique uses a specialized water hose that delivers a strong flow of water. We determine the amount of pressure needed to clear the specific clog. We then insert the hose into a segment of the pipe and the hydro jet machine pushes the water through the pipes. It forces the water upstream through your plumbing network, flushing the clog out. Our hydro jets shoot out water at pressures of up to 35,000 psi and can pulverize just about anything that prevents smooth water flow.
Hydro jetting is very effective in clearing stubborn, large clogs like:
- Grease buildup
- Hardened water scales
- Sludge and debris
- Smaller tree roots
Benefits of Hydro Flushing
- Cost Effective. Hydro flushing is a good option for persistent and stubborn clogs. Instead of routinely needing a plumber to clear clogged drains, you’ll get longer-lasting results with the hydro jetting technique.
- Safe and Non-Invasive. Because only water is used in hydro flushing, you don’t have to worry about harsh chemicals leaking out into your yard. There is usually no need to dig up your yard to access buried pipes.
- Sanitary. The water jetting out of the hose is so forceful that even the microbes in your plumbing system will be cleared out, eliminating any foul smells that could be rising up from your plumbing system.
- Efficient. The hydro flushing technique can dislodge large blockages and has long-lasting effects. It clears the pipes of all debris to eliminate the source of the blockage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is hydro jetting and how is it different from snaking?
A cable machine (snake) punches a hole through a blockage; hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the full diameter of the pipe, washing away grease, scale, sludge, and roots. Snaking clears a clog; jetting cleans the pipe.
When is hydro jetting the right choice?
For recurring clogs, grease-heavy kitchen lines, root-prone sewer laterals, and as preparation before a camera inspection or trenchless lining. If a line keeps backing up after repeated snaking, jetting usually solves what the cable could not.
Is hydro jetting safe for older pipes?
We camera-inspect first when the pipe condition is in question. Jetting is safe for structurally sound pipes; if we find a badly deteriorated section, we will show you the video and recommend repair instead of blasting a failing line.
How long does hydro flushing take?
Most residential sewer and drain jetting jobs are completed in a few hours, including a before-and-after camera look so you can see the result for yourself.
