Sacramento Hydro-Jetter Drain Cleaning

Is your kitchen or laundry drain sluggish? Maybe your storm drain is backing up? Could your sewer main line be clogged with mud? Sometimes using the conventional method of running a snake down the drain doesn’t always fix the problem. When you run a snake down a line that has grease, sludge or mud impacting it, the end of your snake will only cut a hole in the blockage. Over time, gravity will close the hole back up and will cause a never ending cycle of blockage and backed up drains.

A Hydro-Jetter is a hose with a special high pressure head. This unique head has three jets that point backwards at an angle. Our certified technicians will send this hose down to the blockage and blast the clog with up to 1400 psi in your home secondary lines and up to 4000 psi on your main line. These jets scrub and clean the line with high powered water, which then carries the debris out into the city sewer line and has your line flowing like new.

Hydro-Jetting FAQs

What is hydro-jetting, and how does it work?

Hydro-jetting is a powerful drain cleaning method that uses high-pressure water to remove stubborn clogs and buildup from pipes. Bonney’s hydro-jetting equipment features a specialized hose with a high-pressure head and three backward-angled jets. These jets blast water at pressures up to 1,400 psi for secondary lines and up to 4,000 psi for main lines, effectively scouring the pipes’ interior walls and flushing debris into the city sewer system. 

When should I consider hydro-jetting for my drains?

Hydro-jetting is ideal when traditional methods, like snaking, fail to clear persistent clogs caused by grease, sludge, or mud. If you’re experiencing slow drains, recurring blockages, or backups in your kitchen, laundry, or storm drains, hydro-jetting can thoroughly clean them to restore proper flow.

Is hydro-jetting safe for all types of plumbing systems?

While hydro-jetting is highly effective, it’s essential to assess the condition of your pipes before proceeding. Bonney’s certified technicians will evaluate your plumbing system to ensure the pipes can withstand the high-pressure water without damage. This precaution helps prevent potential issues in older or fragile piping systems.

How does hydro-jetting compare to traditional drain cleaning methods?

Unlike traditional snaking, which merely punctures a hole through the blockage, hydro-jetting cleans the entire diameter of the pipe. This comprehensive cleaning removes all debris, reducing the likelihood of future clogs and promoting long-term pipe health. 

How quickly can I expect the hydro-jetting service to be completed?

Most hydro-jetting jobs—especially those involving sink, laundry, or small sewer line clogs—can be completed in a few hours. In more extensive cases, such as main sewer line cleaning with deeper access needs, Bonney still prioritizes speed and convenience, aiming to complete the service efficiently within the same day whenever possible
