“A previous plumber had written our issue off as unfixable, but Rudy and Oscar approached it with patience, skill, and determination. The other plumber hadn't even attempted to remove the cast iron pipe cap, but they recognized that was the key to gaining proper access to the line.”

Common Hydro-Jetting Scenarios
Commercial Drain Cleaning
Restaurants, salons, and other commercial properties with heavy drain use benefit from periodic hydro-jetting to prevent blockages.
Recurring Sewer Clogs
If your sewer line clogs every few months, hydro-jetting removes the buildup that snaking leaves behind — tree roots, grease, and scale.
Pre-Purchase Sewer Clean
Hydro-jetting before buying a home with older sewer lines gives you a clean slate and lets a camera inspection see the true pipe condition.
Grease Trap Maintenance
Commercial kitchens need periodic hydro-jetting of grease traps and drain lines to maintain flow and meet health code requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does hydro-jetting cost in Novato, CA?
Hydro-jetting in Novato typically costs $350-$900 for residential lines and $500-$1,500+ for commercial lines. It costs more than standard drain snaking but clears the pipe completely — including grease, roots, and scale that snaking leaves behind.
Is hydro-jetting safe for old pipes?
Hydro-jetting is generally safe for pipes in good condition. However, if your Novato home has old clay, orangeburg, or severely corroded pipes, the high pressure could cause damage. A camera inspection before jetting identifies pipe condition and any sections that need care.
How often should I hydro-jet my sewer line?
For most Marin County homes, every 2-4 years is sufficient. Homes with large trees near the sewer line, older pipes, or a history of clogs benefit from annual jetting. Commercial properties with heavy kitchen use may need quarterly service.
What's the difference between hydro-jetting and drain snaking?
Snaking breaks through the clog to restore flow but leaves residue on pipe walls. Hydro-jetting (3,000-4,000 PSI water) scours the entire pipe interior clean — removing grease, roots, scale, and debris. It's more thorough but costs more.
