Drain Cleaning and Hydro Jetting Oakland, CA

Oakland, California Drain Cleaning

Absolute Plumbing is a leading drain cleaning provider for homes and businesses in the Oakland, CA area. We specialize in innovative hydro jetting: a modern method for removing drain buildup and clearing away blockages using nothing but clean, safe water. We’re available anytime day or night to help you with your drain cleaning needs.

Drain cleaning is an important part of home and business maintenance, but it often gets forgotten simply because the progression of waste buildup is hidden deep in your basement, crawlspace, or below your yard and parking areas. Left untreated, sewer pipe buildup narrows the pipe over time until standing water and sewer backups become a daily occurrence. The accumulated waste also corrodes the pipe walls until they fracture or collapse, creating a major sewer emergency. Drain cleaning removes all this buildup to restore the pipe to maximum capacity and slow the progression of deterioration. 

Why Hydro Jetting Is The Preferred Drain Cleaning Equipment In Oakland, CA

Absolute Plumbing’s recommended method for effective drain cleaning is hydro jetting service. This advanced system harnesses the power of pressurized water to obliterate drain clogs and buildup cleanly and safely. Through an existing access point in the plumbing, our expert hydro jetting technician inserts a water hose with a nozzle that jets water in a full 360 degrees.

The forward-facing jets break apart blockages such as clumps of paper products, compacted waste, and even tree roots, while the surrounding and rear jets power away tough mineral layers and stuck on waste. The tool is super flexible and can easily navigate narrow elbows, connections, and a S-curves to fully reach every nook and cranny of your sewer system. Our system has a force of over 4000 psi, so we can easily remove difficult clogs to restore sewer flow where other methods have failed. Once Absolute Plumbing has cleaned your pipe, you’ll enjoy like-new sewer function once again.

The most frequent reason our customers request hydro jetting service is for emergency help when a drain has stopped working. Hydro jetting is highly effective for breaking up obstructions, and we can reach over 100 feet into a sewer line to clean out a blockage even if it’s in an inaccessible area of the system. Hydro jetting is particularly helpful in situations where the difficult problem is below a parking area, street, driveway, or inside a concrete slab. In these situations, removing the concrete to reach the pipe can be costly, but hydro jetting can clear the blockage without any demolition.

Another beneficial hydro jetting use is Absolute Plumbing’s regularly scheduled preventive drain cleaning service. This fast and inexpensive procedure can remove buildup and tree roots to prevent obstructions and maintain effective flow. Preventive cleaning can save homeowners hundreds of dollars in sewer repairs, simply by clearing away corrosive buildup and tree roots before pipe damage occurs. For commercial businesses, especially restaurants, retail storefronts, and high-volume facilities such as sports centers or entertainment venues, a regularly schedule cleaning to remove grease, paper waste, and food particles is a must for keeping sanitation facilities available for guests.
