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 Built for San Anselmo's Older Pipes and Root-Heavy Lots
Picture water backing up into a shower drain the same week heavy rain hits Marin County — that combination of old pipe and wet-season runoff is common in San Anselmo, and it's exactly what hydro jetting is built to handle.
Our technicians feed a specialized hose down the line and release water at 3,000 to 4,000 PSI through rotary or penetrating nozzles, scouring the entire pipe wall rather than just punching a hole through the clog. This restores the pipe's full diameter and clears grease, scale, silt and root intrusion without chemicals. We inspect before and after with a CCTV camera so you can see the condition of the line and confirm the blockage is gone.
Many San Anselmo properties sit on lots with large, established trees whose roots seek out any moisture in aging sewer laterals, especially around homes built decades ago with clay or cast-iron pipe. Combined with seasonal rain that saturates soil and shifts pipe joints, this makes root intrusion and slow drains a recurring issue for local homeowners. Hydro jetting cuts through root masses and flushes the debris out, giving pipes a longer stretch of trouble-free flow than a simple auger pass.
We handle main sewer line jetting for whole-house backups as well as residential drain cleaning for kitchen, bath and laundry lines throughout San Anselmo. For businesses, our commercial hydro jetting service keeps grease-prone kitchen lines and floor drains flowing, and we also offer storm drain cleaning, tree root removal, and sewer pipe descaling for older cast-iron systems in the area.
Our licensed and insured specialists bring the same thorough, chemical-free approach to every job, whether it's a single slow bathroom drain or a fully blocked main line. We stand behind our work with camera-verified results so you know the pipe is genuinely clear, not just temporarily open. Reach out to schedule a hydro jetting service and get your San Anselmo property's drains flowing the way they should.
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 San Anselmo 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 San Anselmo home?
Cost depends on the length of the line, how severe the blockage is, and whether a camera inspection is needed first. Most residential jobs in San Anselmo fall into a predictable range once our technician sees the access points and pipe condition. We provide a free quote before starting so there are no surprises.
Will hydro jetting damage the older clay or cast-iron pipes common in San Anselmo?
When performed correctly by trained technicians, hydro jetting is safe for clay, cast-iron and PVC pipe in good structural condition. We always run a camera inspection first to check for existing cracks or severe deterioration, since jetting isn't recommended for pipe that's already collapsing. This step protects your plumbing and confirms jetting is the right tool for the job.
Is hydro jetting better than snaking for tree roots on my property?
Snaking can punch a temporary hole through a root mass, but roots typically grow back quickly through that same opening. Hydro jetting with a rotary root-cutting nozzle shreds the roots against the pipe wall and flushes them completely out, restoring the full diameter of the line. For San Anselmo's tree-lined lots, this generally means a longer interval before roots return.
Do you offer emergency hydro jetting if my main line backs up during a storm?
Yes, sewer backups often surface during or right after heavy rain when groundwater and debris overload strained pipes. We prioritize urgent calls and dispatch a technician to diagnose and clear the blockage quickly. Same-day service is available depending on scheduling and severity.
How often should a San Anselmo property have its sewer line jetted?
For homes with mature trees or a history of root intrusion, an annual or biannual jetting can prevent emergency backups. Restaurants and commercial kitchens with grease buildup often benefit from more frequent scheduled cleaning. We can recommend an interval based on what our camera inspection shows inside your specific line.
