Decades of buildup takes more than a rinse to clear.

An older pipe that's been collecting grease, soap, and mineral scale has walls that narrow over time. A snake pokes a path through it. Hydro jetting scours the pipe clean, wall to wall, end to end. It handles a kitchen line, a bathroom or laundry line, a floor drain or the long main sewer line out to the street, with hydro jetters sized for the job. Does one of those sound like your situation, or is it something different? Either way, let's talk about 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 Poway'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 the bigger Poway lots 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. A longer Poway pipe from the house to the street has more joints, and every joint is a place roots from mature trees can find. On a septic property, jetting the pipe out to the tank is a different job from pumping the tank, and the contractor can tell you which one you need. 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 Poway

A cable opens a path. Hydro jetting cleans the whole pipe.

Homes in Green Valley, Garden Road and Twin Peaks often sit on bigger lots, with a longer run of pipe out to the street. That's a lot of pipe wall for grease, soap and scale to coat. When a line like that gets snaked, the cable breaks up the blockage and leaves the rest of the coating in place, so it tends to come back.

Hydro jetting scrubs the whole inside of the pipe with high pressure water, from the cleanout to the far end. On a line that long, the buildup gets washed out all the way along, not just the spot where the clog was.

It isn't the answer for every drain. If a cable will do the job, the contractor will say so. The contractor examines the line, explains the findings, and the decision is yours.

"We thought the whole line was shot. It just needed a real cleaning."

When your business is down, your customers are feeling it too. Anyone running a business in Poway knows what it takes to perform at the level people expect, and a plumbing problem puts that at risk, whether it's a kitchen on Poway Road mid lunch, a shop at Poway Business Park on a Saturday, or a medical office near Pomerado Hospital with a full waiting room. That starts with getting someone out there to assess the situation. You give the green light and a licensed contractor takes it from there. We run a business too, and yours gets treated the way we run our own.

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.

Poway Hydro Jetting Questions

Answers before you call.

What does hydro jetting actually do?

It's a high pressure water cleaning for drain and sewer lines. The water scrubs grease, scale and roots off the pipe wall, which makes it a good fit for a long Poway run that keeps clogging.

Can older Poway pipes handle jetting?

That depends on the pipe, which is why the contractor looks at it first. The contractor checks what you've got and lays out your options.

Should I jet the line or just have it snaked?

If it's one clog, a snake may be all it takes. If the line keeps backing up, jetting cleans the full length of it. The contractor can look at your line and tell you which fits.

Can jetting take care of roots in a long run?

Often, with a root cutting nozzle. On a long run with mature trees nearby, roots are common. If they got in through an open joint they can come back, so the contractor can point out where.

How often does a restaurant grease line need hydro jetting?

It depends on how the line is used. The contractor can suggest a schedule after seeing it.

Can someone come out today?

Yes. We do same day service. The best way to set that up is to call (858) 333-3038.
