What is Drain and Sewer Hydro Jetting?

Professional plumbers carry out hydro jetting to clean clogged drains and sewer lines. The hydro jetting machine uses 35,000 psi to blow away the blockage and loosen the buildup from the pipe’s interior.

How Does Hydro Jetting Work?

Most hydro jetting services will first perform a video inspection to figure out the cause of the pipe’s blockage. A video inspection also helps ensure that sewage does not inadvertently back up into other areas of the home such as the tub, shower, or sinks. If they see that tree roots have infiltrated the plumbing, then the hydro jetting draining cleaning process should prove successful to cut through the roots. However, if the roots are heavy or thick then the plumber might need to break through the root mass with a snake before hydro jetting to solve the problem.

Hydro jetting is not a complete solution for all problems. If you have a broken pipe, then the process will not work. Also, the sheer force of the jetting water can even weaken an aging pipe and cause a break.

The Process of Hydro Jetting

You should only have experienced plumbers, such as Conejo Valley Home Services Plumbing & Rooter, perform hydro jetting on your drain pipes. You want to have your pipes assessed by a professional before having them jetted to ensure they are structurally sound and can withstand the force of the water.

With hydro jetting, a nozzle is pushed through the drain down into the pipe. It is propelled through the pipe by the water’s pressure. Nozzle size does vary depending on the size of the drain, the application, and what is causing the clog. When the nozzle runs into the obstruction, whether it’s food, grease, paper, fabric, or some other clog, then high-pressure jets of water tear through the material so it starts to dissolve.

The PSI force of the hydro jets does vary depending on the system being used but typically it is upwards of 4,000 PSI with a flow rate of 18 GPM. The force of the water can clean out pipes that measure from 1.5 to 18 inches in diameter and a length of 700 feet long.

What Can be Removed with Hydro Jetting?

Hydro jetting will remove scale build-up from hard water, sand, silt, grease, food particles, scale, sludge, and slime. The water also has the force needed to cut through roots or paper clogs.

What Does Hydro Jetting Cost?

Depending on where you live, hydro jetting can cost from $900 to $2,500 depending on application (Note: A access cleanout is required for this service). However, if you have a sewer drain clog then it can easily cost $1,000 or more to effectively clear out the drain of the obstruction.

When Do You Need Hydro Jetting?

Hydro jetting is the preferred method of cleaning a drain if the drain is structurally sound. It can effectively clear out a clog quicker and with greater efficiency than old-fashioned snaking.

Owen was my electric tech,
and from the conversation over a couple of electrical issues here, I understood quickly that Owen knows the line of work very well: educated, smart, polite, with down the the earth professional demineur... He checked the wiring, and explained the possibilities why my appliance keeps tripping the breaker..
Thank you Owen.
The company has a right set up. They would also remind you about the appointment, and would convinietly call you a few minutes ahead.

They have the right codes... they won't walk in their shoes on your floors either...
I strongly recommend the Conejo company for your electrical issues...

When our 31 year-old furnace suddenly stopped working, they were out within 24 hours of my call. It was a quick and easy replacement part, but something we wouldn’t dare do ourselves. It’s good to know we’ve found a reliable repair service!

Jesse was here right on time to do testing and inspection of our furnaces. He was very thorough, professional and knowledgable and corrected several problems that other companies missed. He also gave us some options to look at in the future. We signed up for their maintenance plan and feel very confident that Conejo Services will meet our needs now and in the future. Thank you for giving us peace of mind!

This company really stands behind its work. I have the platinum maintenance for my both HVAC and plumbing, both installed by them and it really pays off. The plumbing area, especially, led by Andrew Dilger and team are honest, thorough, skilled and offer options from minimal to full overhaul with pro’s and cons and short vs. long-term financial differentials of each approach. I have an older home with pipes at end of their 60 year shelf-life and it’s a new area for me. It’s really great to be able to trust a company when the product isn’t visible, but buried in the ground. I liked Derek who identified a potential issue during normal maintenance and the oversight of Andrew confirming it and best approach. I think it’s the honest approach set by senior management, including Andrew, Ralph and others. And highly professional! Kudos!

We were on Conejo’s maintenance plan for a while. We found they were very thorough in checking our A/C, plumbing and electric systems. It is worth considering these plans.

We had other work done where we felt the pricing was quite high, like for a garbage disposal and for installing a tankless hot water heater. So consumers should be sure to do price comparisons.

When they put in our tankless hot water heater, there were a couple of code violations that needed to be corrected, plus we had some questions about the costs. But when our concerns finally reached the Customer Service managers, their response was excellent and all our concerns were immediately and satisfactorily resolved.

I strongly suggest getting cost estimates from other companies before hiring Conejo. I was provided an estimate of $7149 to perform what turned out to be 7 hours of work by two (relatively low paid) employees and a couple hours to use specialty equipment to pinpoint failure point. I had a blockage in my home sewer system caused by root intrusion. By using their tool inserted into the sewer pipe they said the blockage was 8 feet deep and under my concrete entryway walkway and would therefore take two workmen 2 to 3 days to complete the repairs. I questioned that pricing since it seemed too high and was provided a reduction of $850 to $6299. That still seemed like a high price but I needed to get the work done quickly so I accepted the bid. (My big mistake.) I monitored the work when their two workmen came to make the repairs. I am retired from SoCalGas so have some knowledge about excavating and fixing damaged pipe. The sewer pipe was only 3 feet deep, not 8 feet deep. The work involved digging and exposing the 4-inch plastic sewer pipe and then cutting out a 3-foot section and installing new pipe, then backfilling the excavation (which was done poorly – was not well compacted – I did this after they left as best I could. I hope my entryway sidewalk doesn’t fail/crack in the future.) They completed the work in 7 hours. I then contacted Conejo and asked to them to reconsider the price since the basis of the estimate was incorrect. I eventually spoke with their plumbing manager, Nick, who said he would speak with the person who developed the estimate and get back to me. Nick never got back to me even though I called their offices twice and texted Nick. The next contact I had from Conejo was a revised bill reducing the charge by $500, leaving me with a bill of $5799. On the positive side, the people I spoke with in their billing and/or scheduling department with friendly and responsive.

Conejo installed a new furnace and water heater at my home, and I’m so impressed with the quality of their work. Their prices are competitive and their team is the best!

Outstanding Service from Alfredo at Conejo Valley Heating and AC

We’ve had ongoing AC issues for a couple of years, and after trying other companies, we finally found the solution with Alfredo from Conejo Valley Heating and AC. The level of professionalism and quality of work Alfredo delivered was unparalleled.

From the moment he arrived, Alfredo impressed us with his attention to detail—respecting our home by wearing booties and carefully assessing the situation. He identified the root cause of our AC problems, taking his time and staying late into the afternoon, even after a long, busy day. As the last appointment of the day, Alfredo made sure our AC was fully repaired before leaving.

Beyond fixing the immediate issue, Alfredo also provided valuable advice and options for maintaining our AC in the future, along with some helpful plumbing suggestions. His dedication to his craft and customer service is truly world-class.

We highly recommend requesting Alfredo if you’re considering Conejo Valley Heating and AC. We’ve permanently requested him as our go-to technician for any future needs. His work is simply outstanding, and we couldn’t be more satisfied with the service.

A home inspection was done for the sale of our home and the inspector flagged our furnace as not having a furnace door switch and being a potential fire hazard. Parker arrived to open the furnace door to find that the switch had a piece of black tape over it to protect it, he removed said tape, job done. Unreal. Thanks Parker.

Gave us an estimate and we decided to wait a few months before booking. I called when we were ready to book, but the person they directed us to never called us back!

We ended up choosing another local plumber who charged half what CVHAPR quoted us. I'm so glad we got a second opinion.

Parker was awesome! He was very informative and answered our million questions! Looking forward to working with him again soon! Thank you Parker!!!

Benefits of Hydro Jetting

Hydro jetting plumbing has revolutionized drain cleaning.

The benefits of hydro jetting include:

Safe: Having a home re-plumbed is an expensive process so you want to ensure that whatever drain cleaning method you use does not harm your pipes. Hydro jetting clears away the debris and does not typically damage modern plumbing systems. The process can actually help ensure that your drains continue draining. In addition, hydro drain cleaning can increase the lifespan of your pipes and ensure that your home’s plumbing system functions more efficiently.
Eco-friendly (no harsh chemicals): Store-bought drain cleaners might clear away paper or hair clogs in your drains, but the chemicals are caustic and can eventually eat away at your pipes. With continued use, people can sustain damage from the chemicals. Luckily, hydro jetting is 100 percent chemical-free.
Quick: A plumber can typically clear a clog in less than an hour using hydro jetting. You will not have to cope with any downtime.
Long-lasting Results: Helps prevent future clogs by removing debris buildup.
Effective: Hydro jetting is far more effective than snaking and renders long-term results, so you do not have to worry about having a plumber return to your home to unclog the drain in the near future.

Hydro Jetting vs. Snaking: Which Draining Cleaning Process is Best?

Snaking a drain is a drain cleaning process that has been used for centuries to remove obstructions from plumbing. However, snaking does not always remove the complete obstruction which will lead to further problems at a later date. Snaking might seem initially cheaper but if the problem is not solved then the plumber will have to return at a later date, and you will incur additional fees to again unclog the pipe.

Risks of Hydro Jetting

In some cases, older plumbing cannot withstand the force of hydro jetting, so snaking is your only option. However, if your home has modern pipes then there should be no problem with using hydro to effectively clean the pipes instead of snaking.

History of Hydro Jetting

Many people mistakenly believe that hydro jetting is a new invention, but it has actually been around since the 1930s. In the mid-1800s, engineers started to use high-pressure water for mining erosion projects which spurred the development of harnessing narrow jets of water in the 1930s which were then used effectively for cutting.

A Wisconsin paper company developed a machine that had the capability of diagonally moving low-pressure water jets to cut through sheets of paper. When the 1950s arrived, a Luxembourg engineer developed a high-pressure water jet that could cut plastic. Aviation engineers took things a step further by developing a 100,000-psi pump. Throughout the 1960s and 1950s, refinements would take place which would lead to a nozzle head to direct the water jet even more precisely.

Throughout the 1960s and 70s, other individuals would make additional refinements, most of which involved the nozzle head which was further customized to work with the waterjet. Newer machines were able to cut through a variety of materials including stone, glass and wood and do so with increasing precision. Nowadays, the water jet has been honed to perfection and can safely be used to clean out pipes by skilled plumbers.

FAQs: Hydro Jetting

Below are a few frequently asked questions concerning hydro jetting.

Is Hydro Jetting Worth It?

Hydro jetting is extremely beneficial to homeowners and for commercial plumbing. You will avoid needing to have your drain regularly snaked which ultimately saves you money. The hydro removes drain debris and can improve the function of older plumbing. When used correctly, hydro jetting has the ability to improve the function of old plumbing lines by removing silt and sand that chemical cleaners and augers fail at flushing.

How Exactly Does Hydro Jetting Work?

The hydro jet is inserted into the sewer line via the cleanout. The plumber then uses the hydro jet to spray a powerful stream of water that relies on gravity to push the debris or clog in a downstream motion to clear the drain’s pathway.

When is the Best Time to Use a Hydro Jet?

When your jet is clogged, your first line of defense is to call a professional plumber who you can trust. Some plumbers might use a snake first and then try hydro jetting, but others will use hydro as their go-to solution. However, if the plumber suspects roots are the culprit, then they might opt for the hydro jet to effectively cut through the clog. Most professional plumbers consider hydro jetting the most effective option for cleaning out a clogged drain.

Can You Use Hydro Jetting for Maintenance?

Yes, hydro jetting is an effective solution to cleaning out drains and maintaining them by effectively removing build-up and scale, especially in areas with hard water.

Will Hydro Jetting Damage My Drains?

Hydro jetting is typically considered safe, especially for homes that have plastic drains that are sturdy and can withstand the pressure of the water’s blast. Cast iron pipes often develop a significant amount of corrosion and hydro jetting can actually cause more problems with such pipes. However, modern pipes can easily handle hydro jetting and even benefit from it as a regular maintenance option to clear away debris.

Many homeowners worry that the water will cut through plastic pipes, but the jetted water will not cut through the pimples and will instead cleanse them effectively.
