Hydro Jetting Services
Are you dealing with recurring drain clogs, slow drainage, or sewer line backups? Traditional methods like snaking may only provide a short-term fix. Hydro jetting is a powerful and long-lasting solution that clears your pipes completely and restores full water flow.
At Repipe Champions, we use professional-grade hydro jetting equipment to eliminate grease, sludge, tree roots, and years of buildup inside your drain and sewer lines.
Call +1(408) 295-4309 for expert hydro jetting in Santa Clara and San Mateo County.
What Is Hydro Jetting?
Hydro jetting is a high-pressure drain cleaning method that uses water streams up to 4,000 PSI to flush out debris and blockages inside your pipes. Unlike drain snaking, which only punctures through clogs, hydro jetting scours the entire pipe interior.
This service is ideal for:
-
Grease and fat removal
-
Sludge and debris clearance
-
Tree root intrusion
-
Soap scum and hard water buildup
-
Food waste and sediment
Hydro jetting is safe for most modern plumbing systems and is effective for both residential and commercial properties.
How the Hydro Jetting Process Works
Step 1: Sewer Camera Inspection
We begin with a camera inspection to locate the blockage and check pipe integrity. This ensures hydro jetting is safe and effective for your system.
Step 2: High-Pressure Water Cleaning
A specialized nozzle is inserted into the pipe. Water jets blast forward to break up clogs and backward to clean pipe walls and flush debris.
Step 3: Full System Flush
Once the pipe is cleared, we flush the system and confirm proper drainage with a final inspection.

5 signs you need hydro jetting - when a plunger and cleaner won't work
​
1. Recurring Drain Clogs
If you’re constantly dealing with clogs in the same drains, it’s likely that grease, soap scum, and other debris have built up deep inside your pipes.
Why it happens:
-
Partial clogs shift but aren’t fully cleared
-
Chemical cleaners only break through part of the obstruction
-
DIY solutions don’t reach deep blockages
Hydro jetting completely scours your pipes, preventing clogs from returning.
2. Slow Drains in Multiple Fixtures
Slow drainage in more than one location often points to a clog in the main sewer line—not just an isolated issue.
Signs include:
-
Water draining slowly in sinks, tubs, and showers
-
Water pooling around your feet in the shower
-
Gurgling noises from pipes after draining
Hydro jetting clears the entire drain line, restoring fast flow throughout your home.
3. Sewer Backups and Odors
Sewage backing up into your home or unpleasant smells coming from drains could mean your sewer line is partially or fully blocked.
Causes include:
-
Heavy buildup of waste, grease, and debris
-
Tree roots growing inside the sewer line
-
Waste collecting behind partial obstructions
Hydro jetting blasts out these materials and restores normal sewer function.
4. Tree Root Intrusion
Tree roots can enter small cracks in your sewer line, leading to full blockages over time.
Warning signs:
-
Fluctuating toilet water levels
-
Drainage slowing down over weeks or months
-
Patches of extra green grass above buried sewer lines
-
Recurring backups after snaking
Hydro jetting cuts through roots and clears them from your pipes without excavation.
5. Foul Drain Odors
A persistent rotten smell in your kitchen or bathroom may be caused by built-up organic material or gases from the sewer system.
Common causes:
-
Decomposing food and waste inside the pipes
-
Blocked vents or sewer gases backing up
-
Bacteria growth in stagnant water or trapped debris
Hydro jetting flushes out these materials, fully sanitizing the drain line.
Why Choose Hydro Jetting?
-
Thorough Cleaning: Clears the entire pipe wall—not just a path through the clog
-
Prevents Future Clogs: Removes the materials that trigger recurring blockages
-
Safe for Pipes: No harsh chemicals; just water under controlled pressure
-
Commercial-Grade Results: Works for residential homes and high-use commercial systems
-
Cost-Effective Maintenance: Fewer service calls and cleaner plumbing long term
