Hydro Jetting in Glendale, CA
Hydro jetting scours the inside of drain and sewer pipes with high-pressure water, removing grease, scale and tree roots that a drain snake only punches through. It's the best fix for clogs that keep coming back, and a camera inspection beforehand confirms the pipe is sound enough to jet.

How hydro jetting works
A specialized nozzle on a high-pressure hose is fed into the line through a cleanout. Rear-facing jets pull the hose forward while scouring the full circumference of the pipe, and the debris flushes out to the sewer. Different nozzles are used for grease, scale and root cutting.
Hydro jetting vs. snaking
| Snaking (cabling) | Hydro jetting | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | One-off clogs | Recurring clogs, grease, roots, scale |
| How it cleans | Punches a path through the blockage | Scours the full pipe wall |
| How long results last | Shorter | Much longer |
| Cost | Lower | Higher |
For a simple clog, start with standard drain cleaning. If it keeps coming back, jetting usually costs less than repeat visits.
Is hydro jetting safe for older pipes?
It's safe for structurally sound pipes, including many older clay and cast-iron lines. Because a lot of Glendale homes have sewer laterals from the 1920s–1960s, a sewer camera inspection before jetting is good practice. If the camera shows cracks, offsets or collapse, a repair comes first.
Hydro jetting for restaurants and commercial kitchens
Grease is the main cause of commercial kitchen backups. Scheduled jetting, often every 3–12 months depending on volume, keeps lines flowing and reduces emergency calls. See commercial plumbing, and the cost guide for typical jetting prices.

Price depends on line length, access and how much build-up there is. See typical ranges in our Glendale plumbing cost guide.
