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 Half Moon Bay's Coastal Conditions
Picture a heavy winter storm rolling off the Pacific, and your yard drain suddenly can't keep up with the runoff. That backup usually traces back to a sewer or storm line that's been narrowing for years without anyone noticing.
Hydro jetting uses a flexible hose fitted with a specialized nozzle to blast water at 3,000 to 4,000 PSI through the full length of a pipe. Rotary root-cutting heads shred intruding roots, while grease-cutting and penetrating nozzles strip sludge, scale and debris off the pipe walls. Our technicians typically run a CCTV camera through the line before and after to confirm the blockage's cause and verify the full diameter has been restored.
Homes along the coast in Half Moon Bay often sit on older clay or cast-iron sewer lines that are vulnerable to root intrusion from mature trees and to corrosion from decades of use. Local businesses near the harbor and downtown corridor also depend on clear drain and grease lines to keep operating through the busy tourist season. Add in seasonal fog and heavy winter rains, and storm drains and catch basins here need regular attention to prevent street and property flooding.
Our crews handle main sewer line jetting for whole-house backups, residential drain service for kitchens, bathrooms and laundry lines, and commercial jetting for restaurants and retail spaces around Half Moon Bay. We also clear storm drains and floor drains, perform tree root removal with rotary jetting, and offer sewer pipe descaling for aging cast-iron systems. Drain snaking and augering remain available for smaller, targeted clogs when full jetting isn't necessary.
Our licensed and insured sewer specialists bring the right nozzle and pressure for each job, so pipes get cleaned thoroughly rather than just pushed through. We stand behind our work with camera-verified results, giving Half Moon Bay property owners confidence the problem is actually resolved.

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 Half Moon Bay 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 Half Moon Bay home?
Pricing depends on pipe length, the severity of the blockage and whether a camera inspection is needed first. Most residential jetting jobs are more affordable than replacing a damaged sewer line. Our technicians provide an upfront quote after assessing the line, so there are no surprises.
Are the older clay pipes common in Half Moon Bay safe to hydro jet?
Yes, when performed by trained technicians who match water pressure to the pipe material and condition. We inspect with a camera first to check for existing cracks or severe deterioration before jetting. In cases of significantly compromised clay pipe, we may recommend a gentler approach or repair instead.
Why do tree roots keep coming back in my sewer line?
Roots are drawn to the moisture and nutrients inside sewer pipes, especially through small cracks or joints common in older lines. Standard snaking only cuts a narrow path, so roots often regrow quickly. Hydro jetting with a rotary cutting head clears the full pipe diameter, removing more root material and slowing regrowth.
Can hydro jetting handle storm drain buildup during Half Moon Bay's rainy season?
Absolutely, high-pressure jetting is one of the most effective ways to clear silt, leaves and mud from storm drains and catch basins. Clearing these lines before winter storms helps prevent flooding around driveways, parking lots and low-lying property. Regular seasonal cleaning also reduces the risk of sudden, more severe blockages.
Is hydro jetting better than snaking for a grease-clogged kitchen drain?
For grease buildup, jetting is generally more effective because it uses heated, high-pressure water to fully dissolve and flush grease off the pipe walls rather than just puncturing a hole through the clog. Snaking can offer quick, temporary relief for a minor blockage. Restaurants and commercial kitchens especially benefit from the thorough, full-diameter clean jetting provides.
