Heise's Plumbing recently completed a high-capacity hydro jetting drain cleaning service in South San Francisco, California.
The Problem
A commercial property manager experienced recurring slow drainage and main sewer line backups caused by years of accumulated grease and mineral deposits.
Our Inspection
Our plumbing crew arrived with commercial hydro-jetting equipment, inserting specialized 360-degree rotating nozzle heads into the main cleanout.
Our Solution
Operating at extreme hydraulic pressure, the jetter scoured all interior pipe walls, flushing away stubborn grease buildup, scale, and organic debris without damaging the line. We then conducted a video camera inspection to confirm 100% blockage removal across the entire lateral pipeline.
Final Results
Finally, the system was tested and all work was verified for safe, reliable operation.
Benefits of Hydro Jetting Sewer Lines
Hydro jetting is the most effective way to clear tough blockages and restore pipes:
- Complete Cleaning: Unlike cable snaking which only punches a hole, hydro jetting scours the entire inside of the pipe.
- Removes Grease & Scaling: High-pressure water blasts away grease, scale deposits, and sludge.
- Clears Root Intrusion: High-pressure nozzles slice through stubborn tree roots blocking the line.
- Prevents Future Clogs: Clean pipe walls prevent debris from catching and forming new clogs.
When is Hydro Jetting Recommended?
Hydro jetting is ideal for severe grease blockages, recurring root intrusions, commercial kitchen maintenance, or pre-lining preparation.
Plumbing Considerations in South San Francisco
Properties in South San Francisco and the surrounding Peninsula communities feature a mix of historic piping systems and modern upgrades. Homes with legacy cast iron lines are prone to internal scaling and root intrusions, making periodic pipe scoping and proactive system maintenance key for avoiding mainline water backups.
