Drain Cleaning & Hydro Jetting Services
From a single slow shower drain to a recurring main line clog, our drain cleaning team uses video inspection and high-pressure hydro jetting to fully restore your plumbing — not just punch a hole through the blockage.
What we do
Most clogs come back because old-school snake augers only clear a narrow path through grease, hair, soap scum, and tree roots. Our team uses high-resolution camera inspection to identify exactly what's blocking your line, then matches the right tool to the job: a sectional cable for soft blockages, hydro jetting for grease and scale, or trenchless repair when the pipe itself has failed.
Hydro jetting blasts the inside of your drain with up to 4,000 PSI of water, cutting through roots, scouring the pipe walls clean, and restoring full flow. It's safe for properly installed copper, PVC, and cast iron lines, and dramatically reduces the chance the clog returns in the next 6–12 months.
We service kitchen sinks, bathroom drains, tubs and showers, floor drains, laundry standpipes, main sewer lines, and storm drains. Every drain cleaning service ends with a free pre/post camera comparison so you can see the work we did.

Our process
Camera inspection
We feed a video camera into the line to locate and identify the blockage on-screen.
Right-tool clearance
Soft blockages get a sectional cable; grease, scale, and roots get high-pressure hydro jetting.
Verification
A second camera pass confirms the line is fully clear, not just opened up.
Prevention plan
We share recommendations to prevent the clog from coming back, including bio-enzyme treatments and annual jetting for grease-heavy kitchens.
Why choose SoCal Plumbing Co for drain cleaning & hydro jetting
Hundreds of homeowners and property managers across Southern California trust us with their plumbing. Here's what sets our drain cleaning & hydro jetting service apart.
Camera before & after
Every job includes a video inspection so you see the blockage and the clean pipe — no guessing.
Up to 4,000 PSI jetting
Hydro jetting scours grease, scale and roots out of the entire pipe, not just a hole through the clog.
Eco-friendly
Water-only jetting and bio-enzyme follow-up — no harsh chemical drain cleaners that damage pipes.
Recurring-clog guarantee
If a cleared main line clogs again from the same cause within 30 days, we re-clear it at no charge.
Drain Cleaning & Hydro Jetting cost & what affects pricing
Single-drain clearing (kitchen, lavatory, tub, shower, laundry) typically starts in the low hundreds. Main sewer line clearing with a sectional cable through an accessible cleanout is moderately higher.
Hydro jetting with full camera inspection is the most thorough option and runs higher than basic snaking, but it's what we recommend for any line with grease, scale, or root intrusion — and it dramatically reduces repeat calls.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will hydro jetting damage my pipes?+
No, when used appropriately. We always run a camera first to confirm the line is structurally sound. Severely corroded cast iron or collapsed clay pipes are flagged for repair instead of jetting.
What's the difference between snaking and hydro jetting?+
A snake (cable auger) punches a hole through a clog. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the entire inside of the pipe clean, removing grease, scale, and roots. Jetting prevents the clog from returning much longer.
Is hydro jetting safe for my pipes?+
Yes — for properly installed and structurally sound pipes (copper, PVC, ABS, cast iron). We always run a camera first to make sure the line is healthy enough to jet. Severely corroded pipes are flagged for repair instead.
How much does drain cleaning cost?+
Simple drain clearing typically starts around the low hundreds; main line hydro jetting with camera inspection is higher. We quote a firm price after the camera inspection so you know exactly what you're paying.
How often should I jet my drains?+
Most homes don't need scheduled jetting, but restaurants and homes with mature trees over the sewer line often benefit from annual or bi-annual maintenance jetting.
