Commercial Hydro Jet Drain Cleaning High-flow penetrating nozzle
Scheduled and emergency jetting for restaurants, retail and commercial buildings to keep high-volume drain lines flowing.
Heavy daily use packs grease, sludge and debris into commercial lines, risking shutdowns and code issues.

Kitchen Drain Hydro Jetting Grease-cutting nozzle
Cuts through hardened grease and food waste coating the inside of kitchen drain lines and restores the full pipe diameter.
Grease (FOG) cools and hardens on pipe walls, narrowing the line until water backs up into the sink.

Bathroom Drain Hydro Jetting Multi-jet flushing nozzle
Clears hair, soap scum and mineral buildup from shower, tub, sink and toilet branch lines for reliable drainage.
Hair and soap bind together into dense clogs that snaking only punches a hole through instead of removing.
Homeowners · Hotels · Property managers
Storm Drain Hydro Jet Cleaning Heavy-debris flushing nozzle
Removes silt, leaves, mud and debris from storm drains and catch basins so runoff clears fast and flooding is prevented.
Sediment and yard debris build up in storm lines, causing pooling and flooding during California's wet season.
HOAs · Municipalities · Property owners
Floor Drain Hydro Jet Cleaning Penetrating flushing nozzle
Jets out grease, sludge and grit from basement, garage, warehouse and commercial floor drains to stop odors and overflow.
Neglected floor drains collect debris and dry out, leading to slow drainage, foul smells and backups.

Tree Root Removal with Hydro Jetting Rotary root-cutting (warthog) nozzle
Rotary root-cutting jets slice through invasive roots inside the pipe and flush them out, reopening the full line.
Roots seek moisture at pipe joints, spreading into a mesh that traps waste and cracks older sewer pipe.

Sewer Pipe Descaling Descaling chain + jetting
Mechanical descaling and jetting strips rust, scale and mineral buildup from cast-iron and metal pipe back to bare wall.
Corrosion and scale flake off inside old cast-iron pipe, snagging debris and shrinking the usable diameter.

Hydro Jetting Solutions for Chico Homes and Businesses
A sluggish drain in Chico rarely stays a small problem for long, especially once tree roots or grease start narrowing an already-aging pipe.
Hydro jetting sends water at 3,000 to 4,000 PSI through a flexible hose fitted with a specialized nozzle, scouring the entire interior wall of the pipe rather than just punching a hole through debris. Rotary root-cutting nozzles shred roots, penetrating nozzles break through hardened grease and sludge, and the process is entirely chemical-free. Our technicians typically run a camera before and after the job so you can see the blockage removed and the pipe restored to its full diameter.
Chico's mix of older established neighborhoods and newer developments means pipe conditions vary widely, from aging clay and cast-iron lines to modern PVC. The city's mature street trees and landscaped yards are a common source of root intrusion into sewer laterals, particularly on properties with decades-old plumbing. Seasonal rains after the dry Central Valley summers can also overwhelm storm drains and expose weak spots in older sewer systems around town.
Our team handles main sewer line jetting for whole-house backups, along with residential drain cleaning for kitchen, bath, and laundry lines throughout Chico. We also serve local restaurants and commercial properties with scheduled grease-line maintenance, plus storm drain and floor drain jetting, tree root removal, and sewer pipe descaling for older metal piping. Whatever service you need, we start with an assessment before recommending the right tool for the job.
Our licensed and insured technicians bring the equipment, experience, and camera diagnostics to solve sewer and drain problems correctly the first time, not just temporarily. We work on both residential and commercial properties across Chico with the same attention to detail. Reach out to schedule an inspection and get your line flowing again.
Hydro jetting, explained
Know exactly what you're paying for
No jargon, no pressure. Here's how professional hydro jetting works and when it's the right call for your Chico property.
How does hydro jetting actually work?
A hose fitted with a specialized nozzle is fed into the drain or sewer line. Pressurized water — usually 3,000 to 4,000 PSI — fires backward-angled jets that pull the hose upstream while scouring the entire inner wall of the pipe. Grease, sludge, scale and roots are cut loose and flushed downstream, restoring the pipe to its full diameter. Because it cleans the whole circumference rather than boring a hole through the middle, jetted lines stay clear far longer than snaked ones.
Hydro jetting vs. drain snaking (augering) — which do I need?
A snake (auger) is a flexible cable that punches through or hooks a clog to reopen flow fast — great for a single stoppage or as an emergency first step. Hydro jetting cleans: it removes the buildup coating the pipe wall so the problem does not come straight back. For recurring clogs, grease, scale or roots we recommend jetting; for a one-off blockage or fragile pipe, snaking may be the safer call. We carry both and pick based on what the camera shows.
Is it safe for older or cast-iron pipes?
Yes, when the pressure and nozzle are matched to the pipe. We inspect first. Sound pipe handles full pressure; older cast-iron or clay lines get lower pressure or a descaling head, and truly fragile pipe is snaked instead of jetted. The camera inspection is what keeps jetting safe — we never blast blind.
What does hydro jetting cost, and how often is it needed?
Cost depends on line length, access and how severe the blockage is — we give a firm quote after a quick look, often after a camera inspection. Most homes benefit from jetting every 18–24 months; restaurants and heavy-grease kitchens often schedule every 3–6 months. Regular jetting is far cheaper than an emergency backup or a pipe replacement.
Will it get rid of tree roots for good?
Rotary root-cutting nozzles slice roots back to the pipe wall and flush them out, fully reopening the line. Roots regrow, so for lines with repeat intrusion we pair jetting with a maintenance schedule (and can recommend a lasting fix if the joint is failing). It is the most thorough clearing short of replacing the pipe.
What is sewer pipe descaling?
In old metal pipe, rust and mineral scale flake off the wall, snag debris and shrink the usable diameter. Descaling uses a chain-flail or specialty head plus jetting to strip that buildup back to bare pipe, so water flows like the line is new — often extending the life of cast-iron systems by years.

(800) 771-8303How much does hydro jetting cost for a Chico home?
Cost depends on the length of the line, how severe the blockage is, and whether a camera inspection is needed first. A simple bathroom or kitchen line runs less than a full main sewer line jetting job with root intrusion. We provide a quote after assessing the specific situation, often with a camera scope included.
Is hydro jetting safe for the older pipes common in Chico?
In most cases, yes. Our technicians assess pipe material and condition first, since older or already-damaged cast-iron and clay pipes may need a gentler approach or descaling rather than full-pressure jetting. We adjust PSI and nozzle type based on what the pipe can handle, and a camera inspection helps confirm the pipe is sound before we proceed.
Will hydro jetting clear tree roots from my sewer line?
Yes, this is one of the most common reasons Chico homeowners call us. Rotary root-cutting nozzles slice through roots that have grown into pipe joints or cracks, then the high-pressure water flushes the cut material out of the line. It's more thorough than snaking alone, which often just pokes a hole through the root mass rather than removing it.
What's the difference between hydro jetting and drain snaking?
Snaking uses a metal cable to break through or hook a clog at one point in the pipe, which can leave residue coating the walls. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the entire interior circumference of the pipe, removing grease, scale, and debris buildup along the full length. For recurring clogs or grease-heavy lines, jetting typically produces longer-lasting results.
Do you offer emergency sewer service in Chico?
We understand a backed-up main line can't wait, so we prioritize urgent calls for active backups or flooding. Our crew can typically respond quickly to assess the situation and get water flowing again. Call as soon as you notice signs of a serious blockage, such as multiple drains backing up at once.
