Heise's Plumbing recently completed a high-pressure hydro jetting and sewer line service in the Glen Park neighborhood of San Francisco, California.
The Problem
A property manager near Moffitt Street reported that dual garage floor drains were surcharging dirty water during heavy fixtures usage.
Our Inspection
Our drain specialist accessed the main building house trap and deployed high-pressure water jetting to break through grease and debris blockages inside the lateral.
Our Solution
Following jetting, we inserted a digital sewer video camera to inspect the interior pipe walls, identifying minor tree root intrusion near the property boundary. The cleaning was performed in compliance with municipal environmental guidelines and plumbing code standards.
Final Results
We flushed the line with sustained high flow, confirming smooth gravity drainage and verifying that the entire system was operating safely and reliably.
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 Glen Park
Glen Park's hilly streets and mature foliage can contribute to sewer line root intrusions and pressure changes that require professional monitoring.
