Hydro Jetting in Santa Clarita, CA

Plumbing Tips

What Hydro Jetting Handles in Santa Clarita

• Hard-water scale in drain lines — the coating that narrows the pipe a little more every year

• Restaurant and HOA grease lines — scheduled cleaning that stays ahead of the backup, and emergency clearing when it does not

• Shared laterals in townhome and condo communities — cleaned end to end so one unit’s clog stops being everyone’s

• Roots in older Newhall clay — cut out, then the joint checked on camera

Is jetting safe for the ABS drains in a newer Santa Clarita home?

Yes — plastic drain pipe handles jetting well when the pressure is set correctly, and it scales like anything else in this water. On older cast iron or clay in Newhall we run a camera first, because a pipe that has rusted through or separated is a repair, not a cleaning, and we will say so.

My drain was snaked last month and it is slow again. Why?

Because the cable opened a channel through the buildup and left the buildup in place, so the channel closed. That pattern — clear for a few weeks, then slow — is the signature of a coated line, and it is exactly the case jetting exists for.
