Plumbing Repair
Dealing with stubborn, recurring clogs and slow drains can be a major headache. While traditional snaking can provide a temporary fix, it often leaves behind the greasy buildup and debris that caused the problem in the first place. For a truly clean and long-lasting solution, you need a different kind of power.
At Shark Plumbing, we're proud to offer professional hydro jetting services to homeowners and businesses throughout San Jose, Fremont, Milpitas, and surrounding Bay Area communities. This state-of-the-art method is the most effective way to restore your pipes to like-new condition.
What is Hydro Jetting and How Does It Work?
Hydro jetting is a powerful drain cleaning technique that uses a highly pressurized stream of water to blast through and completely clear blockages. Our specialized equipment shoots water into your pipes at pressures up to 4,000 PSI, effectively scouring the inside walls of your pipes.
Here’s the process:
Video Inspection: Before we start, our certified plumbers use a high-tech video camera to perform a full inspection of your sewer or drain lines. This allows us to accurately diagnose the problem, locate the exact position of the clog, and ensure your pipes are in good enough condition to withstand the high-pressure cleaning.
Strategic Access: We access your plumbing system through a cleanout or other entry point, avoiding the need for disruptive digging or excavation.
High-Pressure Cleaning: A specially designed nozzle is fed into the pipe. The nozzle sprays water at an angle, propelling itself forward while also blasting away years of accumulated sludge, grease, mineral deposits, tree roots, and other debris.
Thorough Flush: The pressurized water breaks up and flushes the debris out of your system, leaving your pipes sparkling clean and free of any future clogs.
Unlike a simple plumbing snake that punches a hole through a blockage, hydro jetting provides a comprehensive cleaning that offers numerous benefits:

Prevents Future Problems: By thoroughly cleaning your pipes, hydro jetting serves as an excellent form of preventative maintenance, extending the life of your plumbing system and saving you money on future repairs.

Is Hydro Jetting Right for You?
While hydro jetting is the ultimate solution for drain cleaning, it's particularly recommended for:
Recurring Clogs:
If you find yourself repeatedly calling a plumber for the same drain, hydro jetting can solve the problem for good.
Foul Odors:
Persistent, unpleasant smells coming from your drains are often a sign of organic material buildup that hydro jetting can effectively eliminate.
Slow Drains:
When multiple drains in your home or business are draining slowly, it's a strong indicator of a blockage in your main sewer line.
Restaurant & Commercial Kitchens:
Frequent hydro jetting is essential for businesses that deal with significant grease and food particle buildup to maintain compliance and avoid costly shutdowns.
