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 Built for Los Gatos Properties
A backed-up sewer line rarely picks a convenient time to fail, and in a town built around wooded hillsides and mature landscaping, tree roots are often the hidden cause.
Hydro jetting uses a flexible hose fitted with a specialized nozzle to blast water at 3,000 to 4,000 PSI through the full width of a pipe, shearing away grease, sludge, scale and root intrusion as it travels. Rotary root-cutting nozzles slice through roots while penetrating nozzles work upstream against tough blockages. Our technicians run a CCTV camera before and after the job to confirm the line is open corner to corner.
Many Los Gatos properties sit on older clay or cast-iron lines shaded by large oaks and redwoods, a combination that invites root intrusion over time. Hillside lots and mature landscaping also mean sewer laterals often run longer distances underground, making full-diameter cleaning more important than a quick surface fix. Local restaurants and retail spaces along busy streets depend on grease-cutting jetting to keep kitchen and floor drains flowing during peak hours.
Our team handles main sewer line jetting, residential and commercial drain cleaning, and targeted work like kitchen and bathroom drain jetting for grease, hair and soap buildup. We also clear storm drains and floor drains, cut and remove tree roots with rotary jetting, and perform sewer pipe descaling on aging cast-iron lines. Whether it's a single slow drain or a full sewer backup, we match the nozzle and pressure to the pipe.
Our licensed and insured specialists bring the right equipment and camera diagnostics to every Los Gatos job, so repeat clogs get solved at the source instead of just pushed downstream. We treat each property's plumbing on its own terms, factoring in pipe age, material and layout before we jet. Reach out to schedule an inspection and get your line flowing again.
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 Los Gatos 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) 771-8303Why do sewer lines in Los Gatos get blocked by tree roots so often?
Los Gatos has a lot of mature trees and older clay pipe with joints that roots can penetrate seeking moisture. Once inside, roots grow into thick mats that trap paper and debris, causing repeated backups. Hydro jetting with a rotary root-cutting nozzle shears the roots from the pipe wall and flushes them out, which clears the blockage more completely than snaking alone.
Is hydro jetting safe for the older cast-iron pipes common in Los Gatos homes?
Yes, when the pressure and nozzle are matched to the pipe's condition. Our technicians run a camera inspection first to check for weak spots, cracks or heavy corrosion before jetting. If a line is severely deteriorated we adjust pressure or recommend descaling instead of full-force jetting to avoid damage.
What's the difference between snaking and hydro jetting for a clogged drain?
A snake or auger punches a hole through a clog to restore flow, but it often leaves residue coating the pipe walls. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the entire diameter of the pipe clean, removing grease, scale and debris rather than just poking through it. For recurring clogs, jetting typically provides a longer-lasting result.
Can hydro jetting help restaurants and businesses in downtown Los Gatos?
Absolutely. Commercial kitchens generate grease that hardens inside drain lines over time, narrowing the pipe and slowing drainage. Our grease-cutting jetting nozzles strip that buildup back to bare pipe, and we can schedule regular maintenance visits to keep lines clear before they cause a shutdown during business hours.
How do I know if my Los Gatos property needs a sewer camera inspection?
If you're dealing with recurring backups, slow drains throughout the house, or gurgling sounds from fixtures, a CCTV inspection can pinpoint the exact cause and location. It's also useful before buying a home with an older sewer line or after tree root removal to confirm the pipe is fully clear. Our technicians include camera inspection as part of most jetting jobs so you have a clear picture of the line's condition.
