When commercial kitchen grease solidifies into rock-hard sludge, mineral scale chokes aging pipes, or dense tree root blankets repeatedly plug a sewer lateral, traditional mechanical drain snaking only punches a temporary hole through the obstruction. Hydro jetting harnesses the power of ultra-high-pressure water (up to 4,000 PSI at 4 to 12 gallons per minute) delivered through specialized rotating steel propulsion nozzles to scour the entire 360-degree circumference of pipe walls clean. Our trailer-mounted hydro jetters restore residential laterals and commercial grease lines across Upland to near-original capacity.
A standard plumber's snake relies on a spinning steel cable with a cutter head. While excellent for puncturing through a localized paper clog or retrieving an obstruction, a cable auger simply glides through soft grease and leaves heavy sidewall scale intact. Within weeks, grease re-accumulates on the dirty pipe walls. Hydro jetting uses backward-facing micro-jets of pressurized water that pull the hose down the pipe while forward-facing cutting jets slice through heavy root mats, completely liquefying grease and flushing it out of the property.
Upland's thriving restaurant corridors along historic Euclid Avenue and Foothill Boulevard (Route 66) produce enormous volumes of cooking grease, fats, and dish solids. Without regular hydro jetting, grease builds up in building drains and interceptor laterals, causing foul sewer smells, health department violations, and catastrophic kitchen shutdowns during peak dining hours. We provide scheduled quarterly and semi-annual hydro jetting maintenance programs for commercial kitchens.
High-pressure water jetting is an aggressive cleaning technique that requires experienced technicians. We never insert a hydro jetter into an unverified pipe. Our plumbers conduct a mandatory pre-jetting video camera inspection to evaluate the structural integrity of the line. If a clay pipe has collapsed, sheared off, or contains severe structural offsets, running high pressure could wash out surrounding soil. We verify pipe condition before calibrating water pressure specifically for clay, cast iron, or PVC.
Unaddressed plumbing wear damages building materials, increases water waste, and risks sudden structural failures.
We install durable, commercial-grade materials designed for long-term reliability in the Cucamonga Valley.
When performed by trained C-36 professionals who inspect the pipe with a camera first, hydro jetting is completely safe for structurally sound clay, cast-iron, and PVC pipes. We adjust the PSI specifically to match the age and material of your plumbing.
