Buildup in the line keeps slowing everything down.

The line keeps gumming up no matter how careful everyone is, and a slow drain at the wrong moment is the last thing you need. Snaking clears a path but can leave the buildup coating the pipe, so it comes right back. A proper jetting scours the whole line clean, and the same hydro jetters handle a laundry line, a bathroom line, a floor drain or the main sewer line out to the street. Does one of those sound like your situation, or is it something different? Either way, let's talk about it. Call (760) 209-5055 and a real human picks up the phone as opposed to an automated AI system, ready to get someone out to clear it.

What is hydro jetting?

Think about what cleans the inside of your drain pipes. Nothing does. You wipe down the sink and the tub, but whatever goes down the drain, grease, soap, hair and food, can stick to the inside of the pipe and stay there for years. Hydro jetting is a powerful stream of water, sent down the drain through a hose, that scrubs the inside of the pipe wall and washes the buildup out. It's different from snaking. A snake is a long flexible cable that spins through the clog and opens a hole for the water to get by. The drain works again for now, but whatever is stuck to the walls of the pipe stays on the walls, and that is what can bring the clog back. The hydro jetter has different attachments for the smaller lines inside the house and the big line outside, and the contractor brings the right one.

Kitchen line

The sink drains slowly, it gurgles after the disposal runs, or it was cleared a while back and it's slow again. Grease could be the coating. It goes down warm, cools and sticks to the inside of the pipe, and then food scraps, coffee grounds and soap film stick to the grease, and Escondido's hard water can add a layer of mineral scale on top of all of it. Snaking a kitchen line opens a hole through that buildup and leaves the buildup on the walls, which is why some kitchen sinks clog again a few months later. Jetting washes the walls clean. The contractor can tell you whether your kitchen line sounds like a jetting job.

Bathroom lines

A shower or tub that drains slowly, a bathroom sink that always has a ring of standing water, or a sewer smell that keeps coming back to the same drain. Hair and soap scum could be building up on the inside of these smaller pipes, and hard water scale gives them something rough to stick to. Snaking pulls the hair out and leaves the scum and scale on the walls. The hydro jetter has a smaller attachment for these lines, and the contractor can tell you whether yours needs it.

Laundry line

The washing machine drain or the laundry sink backs up at the end of the cycle, or the laundry room smells after a load. Lint, detergent and fabric softener could be building up on the inside of the laundry pipe, and the washer pushes out a lot of water at once, more than a narrowed pipe can carry. Laundry lines are one of the most common lines to back up again after a snaking, because snaking pulls out a wad of lint and leaves the rest on the walls.

Floor drains

A garage or utility room floor drain that backs up. Dirt and debris could be packing it, and a snake can't pull dirt out of a pipe. Jetting washes it through.

Yard and outdoor drains, when it rains

Water pooling on the patio or coming toward the door, a yard that stays flooded for days after a storm, or area drains that gurgle or don't take water at all. On a bigger Escondido lot the yard drains run a long way, and a winter storm finds every spot that sat dry since spring. Over the dry months, leaves, mud, sand and roots could be packing those lines solid, and a snake can't pull mud and sand out of a pipe. Jetting washes all of it through to the far end. Plenty of homeowners who had pooling last winter get the outdoor lines jetted before the next one.

Main sewer line

More than one drain backs up at once, the lowest drain in the house fills up when water runs upstairs, or roots came out the last time the line was cleared. On a bigger Escondido lot the pipe to the street is longer and has more joints, and the mature trees along it can find them. Snaking cuts a hole through roots and they grow back from the piece left at the joint, and the grease and scale on the walls of an old pipe stay where they are. The hydro jetter has a root cutting attachment for the main line, and a camera afterward shows what the pipe looks like inside, so you know what you're dealing with.

Hydro Jetting in Escondido

A cable pokes a hole. Hydro jetting cleans the whole pipe.

One of North County's oldest cities has some of North County's oldest drains. Every meal, every shower, every load of laundry since the houses went up left a little something behind on the pipe walls. So when your drain clogs and the snake clears it, the relief is real but usually temporary, because the snake only opened a tunnel through the buildup. Everything lining the pipe is still lining the pipe, and it closes back in over time.

Hydro jetting cleans the whole pipe. A high pressure stream of water scours the inside of the line, all the way around. Years of grease, soap, and scale can get flushed out of the pipe.

Should every clog get jetted? No, and we'd rather tell you that. Plenty of clogs are one time problems that a snake handles completely. The contractor looks at your actual situation, explains it in plain English, and offers a straight read. Then it's your call, and only yours.

Why We're Different

What makes us different.

No memberships

Think about what a membership actually is. You pay month after month, year after year, for a problem you don't have yet. If it's not broken, don't fix it.

No salespeople

The bigger companies send someone dressed nice who works on commission, and by the time he leaves you've agreed to things you never called about. With us there's no middle salesman. You're talking to one of the coordinators, then dealing with the technician.

We're not corporate and never will be

We're staying small enough to stay personal.

Discounts that respect who you are

Discounts for veterans, active military, first responders, healthcare workers, teachers, and seniors. You must mention it on your initial call to qualify. Valid ID required.

"Referred by a neighbor to call Pipe Patrol Plumbers and Drains of Escondido, and so glad we did. They came out and diagnosed the sink drain clog, and since it had been an ongoing issue, they used a powerful hydro jet to clear it out. Everything was a complete success. So glad we called a professional company like Pipe Patrol!"

Escondido Hydro Jetting Questions

Answers before you call.

What's the difference between jetting and snaking in Escondido?

A snake breaks through the clog. Hydro jetting scours the entire pipe wall clean with high pressure water, which suits grease, hard water scale and roots. A licensed contractor can tell you which your line needs.

Is hydro jetting safe for old Escondido pipes?

It can be. It depends on the pipe's condition, so the contractor checks the line first and goes over your options with you.

How long before it clogs again?

That depends on what caused it and how the line is used. Jetting cleans off the buildup a snake leaves behind, and a licensed contractor can tell you what to expect for your line.

Do you hydro jet commercial kitchen lines?

Yes. Grease lines in commercial kitchens are exactly what hydro jetting is built for.

How long does jetting take?

It's case by case. How many drains are involved, whether the work is inside or out, and what the line actually needs all factor into the time. The contractor would be happy to share more once the property has been inspected.

Can jetting clear tree roots?

Often, yes. With a root cutting head, jetting can clear fine root hair out of the line. Anything beyond that is a conversation to have with the contractor during the visit.
