Commercial Hydro Jet Drain Cleaning High-flow penetrating nozzle
Scheduled and emergency jetting for restaurants, retail and commercial buildings to keep high-volume drain lines flowing.

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.

Tree Root Removal with Hydro Jetting Rotary root-cutting (warthog) nozzle
Rotary root-cutting jets slice through invasive roots inside the pipe and flush them out, reopening the full line.
Roots seek moisture at pipe joints, spreading into a mesh that traps waste and cracks older sewer pipe.

Sewer Pipe Descaling Descaling chain + jetting
Mechanical descaling and jetting strips rust, scale and mineral buildup from cast-iron and metal pipe back to bare wall.
Corrosion and scale flake off inside old cast-iron pipe, snagging debris and shrinking the usable diameter.

Keeping Avalon's Island Plumbing Flowing
Picture a backed-up kitchen line at a busy Avalon restaurant during peak tourist season, with no room for a slow fix. Our sewer specialists treat every call on Catalina Island with that same urgency, whether it's a home on a hillside lot or a business near the harbor.
Hydro jetting sends water at 3,000 to 4,000 PSI through a flexible hose fitted with a specialized nozzle, scouring the full interior wall of the pipe rather than just punching a hole through a clog. Rotary root-cutting heads slice through invasive roots, while grease-cutting nozzles liquefy fat and food waste so it flushes away completely. Our technicians typically run a camera first to see what's inside the line, then confirm the results with a post-jet inspection.
Avalon's older buildings and limited street access mean plumbing repairs often need to work around narrow lots and shared infrastructure unique to island living. Many homes and businesses here still rely on original cast-iron or clay piping that has seen decades of mineral buildup and root intrusion from mature landscaping. Because everything on Catalina Island arrives by boat or barge, we plan our equipment and scheduling carefully so jobs move efficiently without unnecessary delays.
Our team handles main sewer line jetting for whole-property backups as well as residential drain cleaning for kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry lines throughout Avalon. Restaurants and shops along the waterfront rely on our commercial hydro jetting and kitchen grease removal to keep drains compliant and flowing during busy tourist months. We also offer storm drain cleaning, floor drain jetting, tree root removal, and sewer pipe descaling for the island's older metal piping.
Our licensed and insured technicians bring island-tested equipment and genuine care to every Avalon property, from harborfront businesses to hillside homes. We diagnose the real cause of a clog before recommending a fix, so you get a lasting result instead of a temporary patch.

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 Avalon 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.

Frequently asked
questions · Avalon
Still unsure? A two-minute call usually answers everything.
(800) 771-8303Does hydro jetting work on Avalon's older cast-iron pipes?
Yes, when performed by trained technicians who calibrate water pressure to the pipe's condition and material. We run a camera inspection first to check for existing damage or thinning walls before jetting. For heavily corroded cast-iron lines common in Avalon's older buildings, we may recommend descaling alongside jetting to strip rust and mineral scale safely.
How do you get equipment to Catalina Island for a sewer job?
Our crew plans logistics in advance since all equipment travels to Avalon by boat or barge along with everything else on the island. We schedule jobs to make efficient use of each trip, and most hydro jetting services are completed the same day once our technicians are on-site. Emergency backups are prioritized to minimize disruption to your home or business.
Is hydro jetting better than snaking for a restaurant drain in Avalon?
For grease-heavy kitchen lines, jetting is generally more effective because it scours the entire pipe diameter instead of just boring a channel through the clog like a snake. This matters in Avalon where restaurant drains see heavy seasonal grease loads from tourist traffic. Snaking still has its place for quick, minor clogs, but jetting delivers a more complete and longer-lasting clean.
Can tree roots really get into sewer lines on a small island like Avalon?
Absolutely, roots seek out any moisture source, including tiny cracks or joints in sewer pipes, regardless of property size. Mature trees and landscaping around older Avalon homes can send roots into aging clay or cast-iron lines over the years. Our rotary root-cutting nozzles slice through these intrusions and flush the debris out, reopening the full pipe.
What warning signs mean I should call for hydro jetting in Avalon?
Gurgling drains, slow-draining sinks or tubs, recurring backups, and sewage odors near floor drains are all signs of a developing blockage. In Avalon's wet season, storm drains and catch basins backing up can also signal debris buildup that needs jetting. Catching these signs early with a CCTV inspection often prevents a full backup later.
