Fast Help For Tough Drain & Sewer Clogs
Most people reach out to us when simple fixes have stopped working. Maybe you have had the same drain snaked several times and it keeps clogging again, or you flush a toilet and water shows up in a shower across the house. In many homes in San Fernando, these problems show up during busy times, such as when everyone is showering or when the kitchen is in heavy use.
For businesses, especially restaurants and small shops, a backed up restroom or kitchen sink can shut down operations. You may have customers in the building, employees on the clock, and health rules to think about. In those moments, you need someone who can show up quickly, diagnose the problem, and come prepared with the right equipment to clear more than just the surface of the clog.
We answer calls at any hour and work to arrive as promptly as possible. There are no additional fees for after-hours visits, weekends, or holidays. Our technicians show up in uniform, respect your space, and communicate clearly about what they see in your system so you can decide on next steps with confidence.

How Hydro Jetting Works & When We Recommend It
What Hydro Jetting Does Inside Your Pipes
Hydro jetting is a method of cleaning drain and sewer lines using a special hose and nozzle that spray high-pressure water inside the pipe. The water stream cuts through grease, sludge, and many types of buildup, and it can break up and flush away intruding roots in some situations. The goal is to clear not just an opening through the clog, but as much buildup as practical along the walls of the pipe.
How Our Team Performs Hydro Jetting Service
When you schedule service with us, we start by asking about your symptoms and the history of the line. In many cases, our technicians perform a video inspection before recommending hydro jetting. With a camera, we can see whether your line is coated with grease, narrowed by mineral deposits, affected by roots, or damaged in a way that might call for repair instead of high-pressure cleaning. This step helps us protect your system and tailor the solution to what your line actually needs.
If hydro jetting is appropriate, we select nozzles and pressure settings that match the diameter, material, and condition of your pipes. For example, a newer plastic main line can often handle different pressure than an older cast iron line. Our technicians feed the hose through an accessible cleanout, work the nozzle through the problem area, and methodically clean the line. We then flush the system and often perform a follow-up camera inspection, so you can see the difference and understand the current condition of your pipe.
When Hydro Jetting Is The Right Option
We typically recommend hydro jetting when clogs keep coming back after snaking, when multiple fixtures are affected, or when camera footage shows thick buildup along the line. In other situations, such as small localized clogs or severely broken pipes, a different approach may be better. Our promise is to explain which option fits your situation and why, so you can feel comfortable with the plan.
Signs You May Need Hydro Jetting Instead Of A Basic Drain Clearing
Not every clog needs high-pressure cleaning, but some warning signs suggest that your issue goes deeper than a hairball in a single drain. Recognizing these patterns can help you know when to call for a more thorough solution.
Many homeowners in San Fernando notice that more than one drain slows or backs up at the same time. For example, water might rise in a bathtub when a toilet is flushed, or a downstairs shower might gurgle when a washing machine drains. This often points to a problem in the main line, where basic snaking may only punch a small opening through heavy buildup.
Restaurants and other commercial kitchens in the city often deal with recurring grease clogs. Even with grease traps and good habits, fats, oils, and food particles can coat the inside of pipes. If your staff keeps calling for emergency drain clearing and the relief does not last long, hydro jetting may provide a more complete cleaning.
Other signs include strong sewer odors indoors or outside near cleanouts, frequent backups after heavy rain, and drains that have been snaked multiple times in a short period. If you see these issues, it is a good idea to schedule an assessment. Our team can inspect your lines, explain what we find, and let you know if hydro jetting is the right approach or if another repair is needed.
What To Expect During Your Hydro Jetting Service Visit
Before We Begin Work
Knowing what will happen during a service visit can ease a lot of anxiety. Our goal is to make the process as smooth as possible, from the moment we arrive to the time your drains are flowing again.
On the day of your appointment, our technician calls ahead and arrives in a marked vehicle, in uniform, and ready to work. We start by listening to your description of the problem and inspecting accessible fixtures and cleanouts. If a video inspection is appropriate, we explain how it works and what we hope to learn, then share our findings with you before recommending hydro jetting or another solution.
Clear Pricing & Respect For Your Property
Before any hydro jetting begins, we review the scope of work and pricing with you. We discuss factors that can affect the job, such as the length of the line and how severe the buildup appears to be. You will know what to expect and have a chance to ask questions. We also review how long the process typically takes and let you know if water use will need to pause during parts of the service.
During the job, we protect nearby areas as needed and work carefully around your property. Our technicians are smoke-free, do not use foul language in your home or business, and clean up after the work is complete. At the end of the visit, we test fixtures, review any camera footage with you if used, and share suggestions on how to keep the line in better shape going forward. Throughout, our focus is on clear communication, respect for your schedule, and leaving your space as tidy as we can.
Preventing Future Clogs With Ongoing Care
Smart Habits For Homes
After investing in hydro jetting, most people want to keep their lines clear as long as possible. While no one can remove every risk, simple habits and periodic maintenance can make a big difference in how often you deal with clogs.
At home, being careful about what goes down drains can help. Kitchen lines benefit from limiting fats and oils, scraping plates before washing, and using strainers. Bathroom drains stay cleaner when hair catchers are used and wipes or other non-flushable items are kept out of toilets. For properties with large trees, paying attention to slow changes in drain performance can help catch root issues earlier.
Planned Care For Businesses
Businesses, especially food service operations, often need more structured care. Regular inspections and cleaning schedules can reduce emergency calls and help support health and safety standards. Our team can work with you to plan visits at times that limit disruption, such as early mornings or slower business periods.
Many customers choose our Hero Club Membership to support ongoing plumbing health. Members receive periodic system checkups, repair discounts, and priority scheduling that can be valuable when issues arise. By combining smart daily habits with professional maintenance, you can work toward fewer surprises and more reliable plumbing performance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will hydro jetting damage my older pipes?
Hydro jetting can be safe for many older pipes when it is planned and performed carefully. Before we recommend this method, we typically assess the condition of your line, often with a video inspection, to look for cracks, severe corrosion, or other weaknesses. Our technicians then select nozzles and pressure levels that match the material and age of the pipe, and they adjust as needed during the job.
If we find that your line is too fragile for hydro jetting, we discuss other options, such as gentler cleaning methods or repair solutions. The goal is to clear the problem without putting your system at unnecessary risk, and we walk you through our reasoning so you can make an informed choice.
How do I know if I really need hydro jetting or just a regular drain cleaning?
You may need hydro jetting when clogs keep coming back shortly after a standard drain clearing, or when several fixtures are affected at once. This often points to heavy buildup or roots deeper in the system rather than a small blockage near a single drain. During a visit, we listen to your history, test fixtures, and often use a camera to see what is happening inside the line.
Based on what we find, we explain whether a simple cabling is likely to help, or if a more thorough cleaning with hydro jetting makes sense. Our technicians review options and pricing with you before work starts, and you can ask as many questions as you like. We aim to recommend what fits your specific situation, not a one size fits all approach.
How long does a typical hydro jetting service take?
Many hydro jetting jobs can be completed within a few hours, although actual times vary. Factors that affect timing include the length of the line, how severe the buildup is, how many access points are available, and whether camera inspections are performed before and after cleaning. At the start of your appointment, our technician can give you a more specific estimate based on what they see.
We know that both homeowners and businesses in San Fernando have schedules to keep. Our team works efficiently while still taking the time to do a thorough job. We let you know when water use should pause, and we keep you updated as the work progresses.
Can your team come out at night or on weekends for a sewer backup?
Yes, our team responds to sewer backups at any time of day or night. Plumbing emergencies rarely wait for business hours, so we make ourselves available evenings, weekends, and holidays. When you call us, we work to dispatch a technician as quickly as possible based on your location and current call volume.
One key benefit is that Rooter Hero Plumbing & Air - San Fernando Valley does not add extra fees for after-hours or holiday service. You pay the same rate whether you need us at noon or in the middle of the night. This policy helps you focus on solving the problem rather than worrying about surprise charges.
How much does hydro jetting usually cost?
The cost of hydro jetting depends on several factors, including the length and diameter of the line, the severity of the buildup, how accessible the cleanouts are, and whether camera inspections are involved. Because of this, we typically provide pricing after we have evaluated your specific situation on site. Before any work begins, we review the proposed scope and cost with you and answer your questions.
Rooter Hero Plumbing & Air - San Fernando Valley offers coupons and other promotions, and we pledge to beat any competitor’s coupon. If you are part of our Hero Club, you may also receive discounts on certain services. Our goal is to keep pricing transparent so you can decide what works best for your home or business.
What can I do after hydro jetting to keep my drains clear?
After hydro jetting, you can support clearer drains by being mindful of what goes into your system and by scheduling maintenance when needed. At home, this might mean keeping grease out of the kitchen sink, using strainers, and avoiding flushing items that do not break down in water. For properties with known root issues, staying alert to slow changes in drainage can help you call for help before a full blockage develops again.
Our technicians often share tailored suggestions at the end of your visit based on what they see in your lines. Many customers choose to join our Hero Club for regular plumbing checkups and repair discounts, which can help catch issues earlier. Combining these steps can reduce how often you face major clogs.
Do you provide hydro jetting for restaurants and commercial properties?
Yes, we provide hydro jetting services for restaurants, retail spaces, offices, and other commercial properties. High-use drains and grease-prone kitchen lines in businesses around San Fernando often benefit from the deeper cleaning that hydro jetting can provide. We understand the importance of keeping restrooms and kitchen areas operational for staff and customers.
Our team can work with you to schedule service at times that reduce impact on your operation, such as early mornings or slower days.
