Homeowners · Landlords · Renters (with owner approval)
Commercial Hydro Jet Drain Cleaning High-flow penetrating nozzle
Scheduled and emergency jetting for restaurants, retail and commercial buildings to keep high-volume drain lines flowing.
Heavy daily use packs grease, sludge and debris into commercial lines, risking shutdowns and code issues.
Restaurants · Retail & offices · Facility managers
Kitchen Drain Hydro Jetting Grease-cutting nozzle
Cuts through hardened grease and food waste coating the inside of kitchen drain lines and restores the full pipe diameter.
Grease (FOG) cools and hardens on pipe walls, narrowing the line until water backs up into the sink.
Homeowners · Restaurants · Commercial kitchens
Bathroom Drain Hydro Jetting Multi-jet flushing nozzle
Clears hair, soap scum and mineral buildup from shower, tub, sink and toilet branch lines for reliable drainage.
Hair and soap bind together into dense clogs that snaking only punches a hole through instead of removing.
Homeowners · Hotels · Property managers
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.

Reliable Drain Solutions For Sherman Oaks Properties
A backed-up kitchen sink or a sewer line that gurgles every time it rains points to a deeper blockage than a plunger can fix. Our crew serving Sherman Oaks diagnoses the real cause before recommending a repair.
Hydro jetting sends water at 3,000 to 4,000 PSI through a flexible hose fitted with a specialized nozzle, scouring the entire inner wall of the pipe rather than just punching a hole through the clog. Rotary root-cutting nozzles slice through roots, while grease-cutting nozzles liquefy fat and food waste so it flushes downstream. We inspect before and after with CCTV cameras to verify the line is open along its full diameter.
Sherman Oaks has a mix of mid-century homes and newer multi-family buildings, and many original sewer laterals still run on aging clay or cast-iron pipe prone to root intrusion and scale buildup. Mature street trees and landscaped yards common throughout the area send roots searching for moisture, which often means they find their way into old pipe joints. Local restaurants and retail spaces along busy commercial corridors also depend on grease-free drain lines to stay open during peak hours.
Our team handles everything from main sewer line jetting and residential drain cleaning to kitchen grease removal and bathroom drain clearing for tub, shower and sink branch lines. Commercial properties in Sherman Oaks rely on us for scheduled and emergency jetting, floor drain cleaning, and storm drain maintenance ahead of wet-season runoff. When roots or old cast-iron scale are the culprit, we bring rotary root-cutting jets and mechanical descaling to bring pipes back to bare wall.
Our licensed and insured technicians bring the equipment and experience to solve stubborn clogs, root intrusion, and grease buildup without resorting to harsh chemicals. Every job in Sherman Oaks starts with a clear diagnosis and ends with a verified, fully restored pipe. Reach out today to schedule a hydro jetting service or camera inspection.
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 Sherman Oaks 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 Sherman Oaks home?
Pricing depends on pipe length, diameter, and how severe the blockage or buildup is inside the line. A straightforward residential drain typically costs less than a full main sewer line jetting job with root intrusion. We provide a free quote after a CCTV inspection so you know the scope before work begins.
Is hydro jetting safe for the older pipes common in Sherman Oaks?
Yes, when performed by trained technicians who match water pressure to the pipe's material and condition. We adjust PSI for older clay or cast-iron lines and use camera inspection first to check for existing damage. Jetting is generally gentler on pipe walls than mechanical augering because it cleans without gouging.
Will hydro jetting actually clear tree roots from my sewer line?
Rotary root-cutting nozzles are specifically designed to slice through roots that have worked into pipe joints, a common issue given the mature trees found around many Sherman Oaks properties. The cutting action shreds the roots while high-pressure water flushes the debris out of the line. A follow-up camera check confirms the roots are fully cleared, not just pushed aside.
What's the difference between jetting and snaking for a clogged drain?
A drain snake or auger typically punches a hole through a clog to restore some flow, but it doesn't clean the pipe walls. Hydro jetting uses pressurized water to scour the entire diameter of the pipe, removing grease, scale, and buildup along the whole length. We use snaking for quick, targeted clogs and jetting when a full clean is needed.
Do you offer emergency service for sewer backups in Sherman Oaks?
Yes, sewer backups and severe clogs don't wait for business hours, and we understand the urgency for both homes and commercial properties. Call us and we'll prioritize getting a technician out to diagnose and clear the line quickly. Same-day service is available depending on scheduling and severity.
