Hi-Tech Plumbing Services Inc. provides hydro jetting and drain cleaning across Los Angeles from our shop in Winnetka in the San Fernando Valley. We clear kitchen lines, main sewer lines and root-clogged laterals for homes, restaurants and apartment buildings. Every job starts with a camera inspection, so we choose a safe pressure for your pipes, and ends with a second camera pass, so you see the clean pipe yourself. We're licensed plumbers (CSLB #1073669).
When regular drain cleaning doesn’t work, you need hydrojetting: powerful high-pressure water that clears out even the toughest blockages. This is how professionals clean drains—and it’s the safest, most effective method for your home or business.
Our safe, no-dig clog removal uses water blasting to clean your pipes completely without damage. We inspect your pipes first with a camera, choose the right water pressure and nozzle, and then flush everything away. Result: drains that flow like new again.
One slow sink can usually be snaked. These signs point to buildup that only jetting fully removes:
What you notice | What’s usually going on |
The same drain clogs again a few weeks after snaking | Grease or scale coats the pipe; the snake only punched a hole |
Several drains are slow at once | Main sewer line is partly blocked |
Water comes up in the tub when you flush | Main line clog near the house |
Gurgling toilets or drains | Air trapped behind a blockage |
Sewer smell inside or in the yard | Waste sitting in the line |
Soggy patch or extra-green grass over the sewer line | Roots or a crack leaking outside |
Restaurant floor drains backing up | Grease buildup in kitchen lines |
Hydro jetting uses a special hose and nozzle to send high-pressure water through your drain or sewer line. The water breaks up grease, sludge, mineral deposits, and other buildup. The nozzle directs water through openings that help clean the inside of the pipe and move loosened debris through the line. The pressure and nozzle must match the pipe’s condition and the type of blockage.
Think of it as pressure washing for the inside of your plumbing pipes.
Hydro jetting can clean more of the pipe wall than basic snaking. However, it is not right for every pipe or every clog. We check the problem and the pipe’s condition before choosing the best method.
Both methods can clear clogged drains. The best choice depends on what is blocking the pipe.
Feature | Drain Snaking | Hydro Jetting |
How it works | A cable breaks through or pulls out a clog. | High-pressure water removes buildup from inside the pipe. |
Best for | Many simple clogs, such as hair or small obstructions. | Grease, sludge, mineral deposits, and some root blockages. |
Cleans pipe walls | Usually removes the blockage without cleaning the full pipe wall. | Can clean more of the pipe’s inner surface. |
Results | Depends on the type of clog and the amount of buildup left behind. | May provide longer-lasting results when buildup is the cause. |
Typical price in Los Angeles | 150–350 | 350–1,000, depending on the job |
We’ll tell you honestly which one your drain needs. If a $200 snaking will do it, that’s what we’ll recommend.
Kitchen lines collect grease, food and soap that harden into a thick layer. Jetting removes it so the drain flows like new. It's the most common jetting job we do in homes.
A camera on a flexible cable shows exactly what's inside your line: buildup, roots, cracks, sags or a broken section. We run it before jetting to pick the right pressure, and after to prove the line is clear. It's also smart before buying an older home.
Many San Fernando Valley homes built in the 1950s and 60s have clay sewer pipes and big, mature trees. Roots find their way into the joints looking for water. Jetting with a root-cutting nozzle clears them out. If roots keep coming back or the pipe is cracked, we'll show you on camera and talk about sewer line replacement or trenchless options.
Your main line carries everything from the house to the city sewer. We jet it from the cleanout, usually outside near the house, clearing years of buildup in one visit. No cleanout? We can install a code-compliant one, which makes this and every future cleaning faster and cheaper.
Hydro jetting can be used on some older pipes, but the condition of the pipe matters more than its age alone. Older cast iron and clay pipes may have cracks, weak joints, or other damage. Using too much pressure on a damaged pipe can make the problem worse.
That is why a camera inspection is important when the pipe’s condition is uncertain. If we find a collapsed pipe, a serious crack, or another problem that makes jetting unsafe, we will explain the issue before proceeding.
Hydro jetting removes certain types of buildup, but it cannot fix a broken sewer line. In those cases, you may need a repair or replacement.
Our process helps us find the problem, choose the right cleaning method, and explain the results.
We assess the affected drains and use a sewer camera when appropriate to check for buildup and pipe damage.
We discuss the recommended work and provide a price before starting.
We select a suitable nozzle and pressure based on the pipe's condition and the blockage.
We use hydro jetting when it is safe and suitable for the pipe.
When access and conditions allow, we use a camera to check the line after cleaning.
We explain what may have caused the blockage and how you can reduce the chance of another clog.
Many residential jobs take about 1–3 hours, although difficult blockages and access problems can take longer.
Hydro jetting costs depend on the type of drain, the length of the line, the blockage, and how easy it is to reach the pipe.
Service | Typical Price | Estimated Time |
Standard drain cleaning with snaking | 150–350 | About 1 hour |
Kitchen or branch line hydro jetting | 350–650 | 1–2 hours |
Main sewer line hydro jetting with cleanout access | 500–1,000 | 1–3 hours |
Main line with heavy roots or a long run | 800–1,500 | 2–4 hours |
Sewer camera inspection | 150–400 | 30–60 minutes |
Preventive hydro jetting | 300–500 per visit | 1–2 hours |
Cleanout installation | 600–2,000 | Half a day to 1 day |
Hydro jetting usually costs more than basic snaking. However, when heavy buildup causes repeated clogs, a more complete cleaning may help reduce repeat service calls.
Yes. Hi-Tech provides drain and sewer cleaning for commercial properties, including restaurants, apartment buildings, offices, and other facilities. Restaurant drains can collect fats, oils, grease, and food waste. These materials can build up inside pipes and cause slow drains or backups.
Hydro jetting may help remove this buildup when the pipe and blockage are suitable for the service. We can discuss a maintenance schedule based on your kitchen’s use, drain condition, and history of clogs.
We also help property managers address recurring drainage problems in shared sewer lines, building drains, and other plumbing systems. For restaurants and commercial properties, we can discuss service times that work with your operating hours.
Good drain habits can help reduce buildup and lower the chance of another blockage.
Not every home needs hydro jetting on a fixed schedule. The right maintenance plan depends on the condition of your pipes and the type of waste entering the drains.
Hi-Tech provides drain cleaning and hydro jetting in Winnetka, Canoga Park, Reseda, Northridge, Woodland Hills, Van Nuys, Encino, Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Burbank, and other parts of Los Angeles.

The proposed prices on this page range from 350–650 for kitchen or branch lines and 500–1,000 for main sewer lines. Difficult blockages or heavy root growth may cost more. Your final price depends on the pipe and the work required.
Hydro jetting may be worth it when grease, scale, or other buildup causes repeated clogs. It can clean more of the pipe wall than basic snaking. However, a simple clog may only need a drain snake.
Yes, it can damage weak or badly damaged pipes if the pressure is not suitable. A plumber should check the pipe’s condition and choose the correct pressure and equipment before jetting.
Many residential jobs take about 1–3 hours. Difficult blockages, longer pipes, and access problems can increase the time.
Professional hydro jetting is safer than using unfamiliar high-pressure equipment yourself. High-pressure water can cause serious injuries or damage plumbing. A professional can also inspect the pipe and select the correct equipment.
No. Hydro jetting requires specialized equipment and the right training. Ask whether the plumber can inspect the sewer line and explain why jetting is the right option for your problem.
Hydro jetting may remove root growth inside a suitable sewer pipe. However, it does not repair cracks or broken joints that allowed roots to enter. If the roots return, you may need a pipe repair or replacement.
There is no single schedule for every home. Many homes only need hydro jetting when a suitable blockage develops. Older pipes, nearby trees, commercial kitchens, and recurring clogs may require more frequent inspections or cleaning.
