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 for Fairfax Properties
Picture water backing up into a tub the moment the washing machine drains, or a sewer line that clogs again just weeks after a snake was run through it. In Fairfax, that pattern usually points to a deeper buildup problem that only high-pressure jetting can fully resolve.
Hydro jetting sends water at 3,000 to 4,000 PSI through a flexible hose fitted with a specialized nozzle, scouring the entire interior wall of the pipe rather than punching a narrow hole through a clog. Rotary root-cutting heads slice through intruding roots, while grease-cutting nozzles strip fat and food waste back to bare pipe. Our sewer specialists always run a camera inspection first to confirm the pipe's condition and material, then verify results afterward with a follow-up CCTV pass.
Fairfax's mix of older homes tucked among mature trees means clay and cast-iron sewer laterals are common, and those same trees send roots searching for moisture right into pipe joints. Marin County's wet winters also push a lot of debris through storm drains and catch basins, so seasonal buildup is a recurring concern for both residential and commercial properties here. Our crew treats each property's plumbing age and landscaping differently rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.
We handle main sewer line jetting for whole-house backups, along with residential drain service for kitchen, bath, laundry and yard lines throughout Fairfax. Local restaurants and retail spaces rely on our commercial jetting for grease-laden kitchen lines and floor drains, while homeowners call on us for bathroom drains clogged with hair and soap scum. For older cast-iron plumbing, we also offer sewer pipe descaling to strip rust and mineral scale and restore proper flow.
Our licensed and insured technicians bring the training, equipment and camera diagnostics needed to solve sewer and drain problems at the source rather than masking them temporarily. We stand behind every hydro jetting job with a clear explanation of what our cameras found and what we did about it. Reach out to schedule an inspection or service call for your Fairfax property.
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 Fairfax 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 Fairfax home?
Pricing depends on pipe length, diameter, and how severe the blockage is, along with whether a camera inspection is needed first. Most residential jetting jobs in Fairfax are more affordable than repeated snaking visits or emergency backup cleanup. We provide a clear quote after assessing the line, so there are no surprise charges.
Is hydro jetting safe for the older pipes common in Fairfax?
Yes, when performed by trained technicians who first inspect the pipe with a camera to confirm its material and condition. We adjust water pressure for older clay or cast-iron lines to avoid damaging weakened sections. Jetting is generally gentler on pipe walls than mechanical augers because it doesn't scrape or gouge the interior surface.
Why do tree roots keep coming back into my sewer line?
Roots are drawn to the moisture and nutrients inside sewer pipes, and small cracks or loose joints give them an entry point. Standard snaking only cuts a narrow channel, leaving root fragments behind to regrow quickly. Hydro jetting with a rotary root-cutting nozzle clears the roots from the full pipe diameter, which slows regrowth significantly longer.
What's the difference between jetting and snaking for a clogged drain?
Snaking uses a metal cable to punch or drill through a clog, opening a passage but often leaving buildup on the pipe walls. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the entire interior surface, removing grease, scale, and debris rather than just breaking through it. For recurring clogs or grease-heavy lines, jetting typically delivers a longer-lasting result.
Can hydro jetting help with storm drains during Marin County's rainy season?
Yes, storm drain jetting removes silt, leaves, and mud that accumulate in catch basins and drain lines before and during heavy winter rains. Clearing this debris ahead of the wet season reduces the risk of localized flooding around a Fairfax property. We recommend scheduling storm drain service before the rains pick up each year.
