Hydro Jetting in San Dimas

The Problem

I got a call from a homeowner in the Via Verde area of San Dimas who was at their wit's end with their kitchen plumbing. They run a small home-based catering and cooking oil business, and they were experiencing a restaurant-style grease issue in a standard residential kitchen. They had hired another plumber to snake the drain three times in the past two months, but it kept clogging again almost immediately. They needed a permanent solution.

As a local plumber who has seen just about everything in the San Gabriel Valley, I understand how stressful plumbing issues can be. That is why I always prioritize a fast response and clear communication with my customers.

What We Found

When I arrived, I ran my inspection camera into the kitchen cleanout. I found exactly what I expected based on their business: the entire line was caked with thick, hardened cooking grease. A standard snake just pokes a small hole through the sludge, which quickly collapses back in on itself once the water stops flowing. The 60 feet of main line heading out to the street was severely restricted, and snaking it again would have been a waste of their time and money.

I always make sure to physically show my customers exactly what is going on, whether that means looking at the camera monitor together or showing them the worn-out parts. Transparency is a big part of how I run my business.

The Solution

I gave them a Written Estimate for hydro jetting, explaining that we needed to completely emulsify and flush out the grease, not just poke a hole in it. I hooked up my heavy-duty hydro jetter, using a specialized rotating grease-cutting nozzle. I blasted the line at 3500 PSI, working the hose back and forth to scrub the interior pipe walls bare. The high-pressure water safely broke down the massive grease logs and flushed everything out into the city sewer.

My goal is always to provide a lasting fix, not just a temporary patch. I take pride in doing the job right the first time, using high-quality materials and adhering strictly to local building codes.

The Result

After the jetting process, I ran the camera down the line one more time to show the homeowners the results. The pipe looked virtually brand new, with every trace of grease completely gone. The water flowed freely, and they haven't had a single backup since. They were incredibly thankful to finally have a reliable plumbing system that could handle their home business needs without constant interruptions.
