Hydro Jetting in Big Bear Lake, CA
The Most Thorough Drain Cleaning Available
Hydro jetting uses a high-pressure water stream (up to 4,000 PSI) to blast through blockages and scour the inside walls of your pipes clean. It doesn’t just poke a hole through the clog like a cable machine — it removes the entire buildup.
This is the go-to solution for grease-packed sewer lines, tree root intrusion, and recurring clogs that cable machines can’t permanently solve.
When Hydro Jetting Is the Right Call
- Grease buildup in restaurant or commercial kitchen lines
- Tree root intrusion into sewer lines (roots are cut and flushed out)
- Recurring clogs in the same drain line (the cable clears a path but the buildup remains)
- Pre-purchase sewer cleaning before buying a home with old pipes
- Preventive maintenance for commercial properties with heavy drain use
How It Works
- We run a sewer camera first to inspect the pipe condition and identify the blockage type and location
- We select the appropriate nozzle and pressure level for your pipe material and problem
- The jetting nozzle is fed through the pipe, blasting water forward to cut through blockages and backward to scour pipe walls
- After jetting, we run the camera again to verify the line is clear and undamaged
Pricing
- Residential hydro jetting: $350–$650
- Commercial hydro jetting: $500–$1,200
- Camera inspection included with every hydro jetting service
Cable Machine vs. Hydro Jetting
| Factor | Cable Machine | Hydro Jetting |
|---|---|---|
| What it does | Punches through the clog | Removes the entire clog and cleans pipe walls |
| Best for | Hair clogs, soft blockages | Grease, roots, mineral buildup |
| Lasting result | Days to months | Months to years |
| Cost | $135–$225 | $350–$650 |
| Risk to old pipes | Low | Moderate (we inspect first) |
We always inspect the pipe condition with a camera before jetting. Old, deteriorated pipes may not handle high pressure safely — in those cases, we’ll recommend alternative approaches.
