Hydro Jetting Services

Your sewer line may be out of sight, but it should never be out of mind, especially when plumbing problems start affecting your home. Common signs of a blocked sewer line include:

• Bubbling water in your toilet.
• Wastewater backing up into your shower or bathtub when you flush.
• Slow-draining sinks, tubs, or showers.
• Persistent sewer odors or gurgling sounds from your drains.

If you’re experiencing any of these issues, our team at Ongaro & Sons can help. We’ll determine whether the problem is isolated to a single drain or if it involves a deeper blockage in your main sewer line. When a sewer line is clogged, immediate action is essential to prevent messy and costly wastewater backups. In many cases, we recommend hydro jetting, a powerful, non-invasive method that clears debris and buildup to restore full flow.

Ongaro & Sons proudly serves homeowners throughout the North Bay, including Marin, Sonoma, and Napa counties. Whether you’re dealing with a clogged drain, sewer line blockage, or another plumbing concern, our expert team is ready to help. Call us today for a free consultation and experience the trusted service that local families have counted on since 1932.

Hydro jetting is similar to power washing, but in your drain and sewer pipes. The process uses 2,000 to 4,000 psi of water pressure to flush out grease, tree roots, sludge, and other matter accumulated in your sewer pipe. Our experienced Ongaro & Sons plumbers inspect your sewer line before initiating hydro jetting to determine if it is structurally sound.

If your sewer pipe is unlikely to withstand hydro jetting because of its age and structure, we are happy to discuss other sewer cleaning options, such as snaking. This alternative breaks up clogs but does not scour the pipe walls. It is safer for a weakened sewer line because it does not use high pressure. If this is the case, we are also happy to provide you with a quote for sewer line replacement.

Initial Video Inspection

We begin with a video pipe inspection to locate the blockage and assess the condition of your sewer line. This step helps us determine the severity of the clog and how much water pressure is appropriate for the job.

Assessing Pipe Condition

The inspection also shows whether your pipe is a good candidate for hydro jetting. If your sewer line is too deteriorated to safely handle high-pressure cleaning, we’ll recommend an alternative solution to avoid further damage.

Hydro Jetting Setup and Execution

If hydro jetting is appropriate, we insert a specialized hose into your sewer cleanout. Our equipment then delivers powerful blasts of water to clear away buildup, grease, roots, and other debris from inside your sewer pipe.

Post-Cleaning Video Inspection

After jetting, we perform a second video inspection to ensure the clog is fully removed and your pipe is clear. This final look helps confirm our work meets both your expectations and our high-quality standards.

Customer Satisfaction Guaranteed

Your satisfaction is our priority. We review the results with you and answer any questions. We don’t consider the job done until you’re completely happy with the service and your sewer line is flowing freely.
