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.

Hydro Jetting Solutions Built for Van Nuys Properties
A sluggish kitchen sink or a sewer line that keeps backing up rarely fixes itself, and in Van Nuys the culprit is often decades of grease, roots, or scale sitting inside older pipe.
Hydro jetting uses a flexible hose fitted with a specialized nozzle to blast water at 3,000 to 4,000 PSI through the full interior of the pipe. Rotary root-cutting heads shred intrusive roots, while grease-cutting and penetrating nozzles strip away sludge and scale clinging to the pipe wall. Our technicians run a CCTV camera through the line first to identify the blockage, then follow up with a post-jet inspection to confirm the pipe has been restored to its original diameter.
Many properties around Van Nuys sit on older clay or cast-iron sewer laterals, and mature trees planted along residential streets send roots searching for moisture right into those aging joints. Local restaurants and retail spaces along the San Fernando Valley's commercial corridors also generate heavy grease loads that build up fast in kitchen drain lines. When seasonal rains hit, storm drains and catch basins across the area need the same high-pressure attention to keep runoff moving.
Our crews handle everything from main sewer line jetting and residential drain cleaning to commercial service for Van Nuys restaurants and retail buildings. We also jet kitchen and bathroom branch lines, clear floor drains in garages and warehouses, remove tree roots with rotary cutting jets, and perform mechanical descaling on corroded cast-iron pipe. Storm drain cleaning rounds out our service list for property managers preparing for wet-season runoff.
Our licensed and insured technicians bring the same equipment and camera-verified process to every job, whether it's a single clogged drain or a full sewer line restoration. We aim to leave every Van Nuys property with pipes running at full capacity, not just temporarily unclogged. Reach out to schedule a hydro jetting service and get an honest assessment of what your drains actually need.
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 Van Nuys 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 typically cost for a Van Nuys home?
Pricing depends on pipe length, the severity of the clog, and whether a CCTV inspection is needed first. Most residential jobs are more affordable than repeated snaking visits or a future pipe repair caused by an ignored blockage. We provide a quote after assessing the line, often with camera footage to back up the recommendation.
Is hydro jetting safe for the older cast-iron pipes common in Van Nuys homes?
Yes, when performed by trained technicians who adjust pressure and nozzle selection to the pipe's condition and material. We inspect with a camera first to check for existing damage or thinning walls before jetting. In cases of significant corrosion, we may recommend descaling instead of full-pressure jetting to protect the pipe.
What's the difference between jetting and snaking for a clogged drain?
Snaking uses a cable to punch a hole through a clog, which restores some flow but often leaves residue coating the pipe walls. Hydro jetting scours the entire interior circumference, removing grease, scale, and debris so the full diameter is restored. For recurring clogs, jetting is usually the more lasting solution.
Do Van Nuys restaurants need a different service than homes?
Commercial kitchens generate far more grease and food waste, so we schedule regular preventive jetting to stop FOG buildup before it causes an emergency shutdown. We also offer emergency response for restaurants and retail spaces that can't afford extended downtime. Residential service focuses more on periodic maintenance and troubleshooting specific fixture issues.
How do I know if tree roots have gotten into my sewer line?
Warning signs include gurgling drains, slow flow in multiple fixtures at once, or sewage backing up into a tub or floor drain. Roots are drawn to the moisture and nutrients inside sewer pipes, especially where joints have shifted or cracked with age. A camera inspection confirms root intrusion, and our rotary jetting nozzles cut through and flush the roots out to reopen the line.
