About San Diego Hydro Jetting Pros
We started San Diego Hydro Jetting Pros in 2012 with a straightforward mission: stop using temporary band-aids on sewer clogs. Instead of just poking a small hole through a blockage with a spinning drain snake, we use high-pressure water to wash your entire pipe clean so it stays trouble-free for years.
Why We Focus Only on Hydro Jetting
Years ago, when our founders worked in general plumbing across San Diego, they noticed a frustrating pattern. Homeowners and restaurant managers repeatedly paid for drain cleaning, only to have their sewer line back up again a few months later.
The reason was simple: traditional drain snakes don't actually clean pipes. A snake is just a spinning metal cable. It punches a small 1-inch or 2-inch hole through a clog so water can drain for a few days. But it leaves greasy sludge, tree roots, and mineral buildup stuck all along the sides of the pipe. As soon as you take a few showers or wash dishes, toilet paper catches on the leftover mess and the line clogs right back up.
In 2012, we chose a different path: we stopped doing general plumbing to focus 100% on hydro jetting. We don't remodel bathrooms or fix dripping faucets. Instead, we put all our training and equipment into washing sewer lines clean with high-pressure water, publishing an upfront San Diego pricing guide and field data on how long hydro jetting lasts in San Diego sewer lines so property owners get total transparency.

Why Water Flow Matters
Many plumbers carry small electric jetters. They may have pressure, but they don't pump enough water to carry heavy debris out of your pipe. Our trailer units use high water flow to wash cut tree roots and broken-up grease all the way out into the city sewer main.
Different Neighborhoods, Different Pipe Problems
San Diego has all kinds of homes, from 100-year-old historic houses to modern coastal properties. We adjust our water pressure and tools to protect your specific pipes.
Historic Clay & Cast Iron Pipes
North Park • Hillcrest • Kensington • Mission HillsOlder San Diego homes often have brittle clay or rusty cast iron sewer lines. Heavy metal snakes can crack these old pipe joints. We use gentler water pressure to safely clear roots and rust buildup without damaging your pipes.
Aggressive Tree Roots
Point Loma • Balboa Park Radius • University HeightsSan Diego has long, dry summers. Thirsty palm trees, pepper trees, and ficus trees send roots looking for water inside sewer joints. We use spinning water cutter heads that slice tree roots flush against the pipe wall.
Hard Water & Salt Air Buildup
La Jolla • Pacific Beach • Ocean Beach • CoronadoNear the beach, salty air and hard mineral water create thick white crust inside drain pipes. Over time, a 4-inch pipe shrinks down like a clogged artery. Our water jets knock that hard scale loose and wash it away.
Commercial Kitchen Grease
Gaslamp Quarter • Little Italy • Convoy DistrictCooking grease from restaurants cools down and turns rock-hard inside kitchen sewer lines. We help local kitchens avoid emergency backups with scheduled high-heat water jetting that liquefies grease and flushes it out.
The Tools We Use to Clear Your Drains
Different clogs need different tools. Here is the professional equipment we bring to your property to get the job done safely.

100% Clean Water, No Harsh Chemicals
Store-bought chemical drain cleaners are dangerous. They contain harsh acids that can eat through old metal pipes, melt plastic glue, and release burning fumes into your bathroom or kitchen.
Even worse, those harsh chemicals wash straight into city storm drains, local canyons, Mission Bay, and our Pacific beaches.
Our hydro jetting service is 100% chemical-free. We use only clean tap water pumped at high pressure. Pure water pressure blasts away grease, wipes, and tree roots without hurting your pipes, plumbing workers, or our local ocean water.
Pure water cleaning that keeps toxic runoff out of San Diego water and soil.
Four Promises We Make to You
We treat your home and family with respect. Here is what you can always count on when you work with our team.
We Check Before We Blast
We never pump high-pressure water blindly. We check your cleanout access and pipe material first so we can set the right water pressure and protect your plumbing.
Upfront, Flat-Rate Pricing
No one likes surprises on a plumbing bill. We give you a clear, flat price before we start working. No hidden trip fees, and no surprise overtime charges.
Save Your Yard & Driveway
Digging up and replacing a sewer line can cost $10,000 to $25,000 and tear up your lawn or driveway. Thorough hydro jetting cleans pipes down to the wall and keeps your existing lines working for years.
