Hydro Jetting
Hydro Jetting & Drain Cleaning in Los Angeles
Hydro jetting in Los Angeles costs $400 to $900 for a residential line and takes 1 to 3 hours. Standard cabling (snaking) runs $150 to $350 and clears the immediate blockage; jetting uses 3,000–4,000 PSI water to scour the pipe wall clean of grease, scale and roots so the line stops backing up every few months. Every jetting job includes a camera inspection before and after so you can see the result.

Common questions
Hydro jetting vs. snaking — which do I need?
Snaking punches through a clog and gets you flowing today. Jetting scrubs the whole pipe wall, so it's the answer for repeat backups, grease buildup and root intrusion.
Is hydro jetting safe for old pipes?
It is when someone cameras the line first. Cast iron that's badly scaled or cracked gets a lower-pressure approach or a repair recommendation instead — we tell you before we jet.
How often should a line be jetted?
Homes with root issues do well on an annual jetting. Restaurants and commercial kitchens typically run quarterly.
