Hydro Jetting & Drain Cleaning in Los Angeles, CA

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water — not a blade or a cable — to strip grease, scale, sludge, and root intrusion from the full interior diameter of a pipe, rather than just punching a narrow channel through the middle of a blockage the way cabling does. It's the right tool when a line has years of buildup, not just a single clog.

24/7 Rooter Service runs hydro jetting for both individual drain lines and full main sewer lines across Los Angeles, using pressure levels matched to the pipe's material and condition. We don't default to maximum pressure on every job — a straightforward hair clog doesn't need the same approach as a kitchen line that's been accumulating grease for a decade.

Jetting is most valuable as either a deep clean for a line that's clogged repeatedly despite cabling, or as scheduled maintenance for lines — commercial kitchens especially — that build grease or scale on a predictable cycle.

Signs You Need This Service

• A drain that clogs again within weeks of being cabled, repeatedly
• Multiple slow drains suggesting main line grease or scale buildup
• A camera inspection showing significant buildup along the pipe wall, not just a single blockage point
• A commercial kitchen line that hasn't been jetted on a maintenance schedule
• Root intrusion visible on a camera inspection
• Reduced flow that gradually worsened over months rather than a sudden clog

Our Process

Residential & Commercial Service

Residential jetting addresses individual problem drains and full home main lines. Commercial jetting for LA restaurants and multi-unit properties typically runs on a scheduled maintenance basis, since these lines see far more grease volume than any residential kitchen and clog predictably without it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is hydro jetting more expensive than regular drain cleaning?

It costs more than a standard cabling job, but for a line with a history of repeat clogs, it's usually the more economical choice over time since it addresses the buildup causing the recurring problem rather than punching through it again.

Can hydro jetting damage old pipes?

Pressure is adjusted based on pipe material and condition, and we camera-inspect first specifically to catch pipe that's too compromised for jetting before we start, not after.

How often should a restaurant have its lines jetted?

It depends on kitchen volume and what's being put down the drain, but most commercial kitchens benefit from a quarterly or semi-annual schedule rather than waiting for a clog to force an emergency call.

Will jetting remove tree roots from my sewer line?

A root-cutting attachment ahead of the jetting pass clears root intrusion effectively, though if roots have caused structural damage to the pipe itself, that's a separate sewer repair conversation.

Do I need a camera inspection every time before jetting?

For a first-time job or anything with an unclear history, yes. For an established maintenance schedule where we already know the line's condition, it's not always necessary every visit.
