Hydro Jetting in Long Beach, CA

Plumbing Tips

Where Hydro Jetting Beats a Cable

• Cast-iron drains that clog on a schedule — the buildup is bonded to the pipe, and only pressure removes it

• Apartment-building stacks and long horizontal runs — a shared line that one unit keeps blocking clears for everyone when it is cleaned end to end

• Root intrusion in clay laterals — cut out at the joint, then the joint is checked on camera so you know whether it needs repair

• Grease lines in restaurants — along 2nd Street, Pine Avenue and everywhere else a kitchen runs all day

Will jetting damage the old pipes in my Long Beach house?

Not if the pipe is sound, and we do not jet a line we have not looked at. A camera inspection first shows the pipe’s condition; pressure is set for what we see. If the camera finds a crack, a collapse or a badly offset joint, jetting is not the fix, and we will tell you what is.

How long does a jetted line stay clear?

Far longer than a snaked one, because the buildup is gone rather than pierced. On a line with a structural problem — roots at a broken joint, a sag that collects solids — jetting buys time until the repair; on an intact line it is the cleaning that ends the recurring-clog cycle.
