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.

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 Burlingame Properties
A backed-up drain never seems to wait for a convenient time, and in Burlingame's mix of older homes and busy commercial strips, the cause is often buried well out of sight.
Hydro jetting sends water at 3,000 to 4,000 PSI through a specialized hose and nozzle, scouring the entire interior wall of the pipe rather than just punching a hole through a clog. Rotary root-cutting nozzles slice through intruding roots, while grease-cutting and penetrating nozzles break down caked-on FOG and sludge. Our crew always runs a CCTV camera through the line before and after jetting to confirm the actual problem and verify the pipe has been restored to full diameter.
Many Burlingame properties sit on older clay or cast-iron sewer laterals, and mature street trees common throughout the Peninsula send roots searching for moisture at every joint and crack. Coastal fog and seasonal rain add extra strain on storm drains and aging pipe, while local restaurants and retail kitchens deal with steady grease buildup in their lines. Whether it's a bungalow near the downtown core or a commercial kitchen along Burlingame Avenue, the pipe underneath still needs the same thorough, mechanical cleaning.
Our technicians handle main sewer line jetting for whole-property backups, along with residential drain service for kitchen, bath and laundry lines. Commercial clients rely on us for scheduled grease management and floor drain jetting, and we also offer storm drain cleaning, tree root removal, and sewer pipe descaling for older cast-iron systems. Every job can be paired with drain snaking when a smaller, targeted approach makes more sense than full jetting.
Our licensed and insured team has built its process around getting the full diameter of your pipe clean, not just a temporary opening. We document every job with camera footage so you can see exactly what was found and what was fixed.

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 Burlingame 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 Burlingame home?
Cost depends on the length of the line, the severity of the blockage, and whether a CCTV inspection is needed first. Most residential jetting jobs are more affordable than repeated snaking calls or a future excavation. We provide a clear quote after assessing your specific line, so you know the cost before work begins.
Is hydro jetting safe for the older pipes common in Burlingame?
Yes, when performed by trained technicians who adjust pressure and nozzle type to the pipe's age and material. We inspect with a camera first to check for existing damage, and we use lower pressure settings on fragile or already-compromised sections. Jetting is generally gentler on pipe walls than mechanical augering, which can gouge weakened pipe.
Why do tree roots keep coming back in my sewer line?
Roots are drawn to the moisture and nutrients inside a sewer line, and any small crack or loose joint gives them an entry point. Hydro jetting with a rotary root-cutting nozzle clears roots more completely than a standard snake because it scours the entire pipe wall, not just a center channel. Regular jetting on a maintenance schedule helps keep regrowth from causing repeat backups.
Can hydro jetting handle grease buildup in a restaurant kitchen line?
Absolutely, and it's one of the most effective tools for it. Hot, high-pressure water combined with a grease-cutting nozzle breaks down hardened FOG coating the inside of the line and flushes it out completely. Many commercial kitchens in the area schedule routine jetting to prevent the slow narrowing that leads to sudden backups during service hours.
Does Burlingame's rainy season affect storm drains and sewer lines?
Wet weather increases the volume moving through storm drains and can push more silt, leaves, and debris into catch basins, while saturated soil can also aggravate existing root intrusion in sewer laterals. Jetting storm drains before the rainy season helps prevent localized flooding. For sewer lines, a camera inspection can catch early root or debris issues before winter rains turn a minor clog into a full backup.
