Why San Francisco homeowners call for hydro jetting
Jetting uses water pressure matched to pipe material. It is not a DIY pressure washer in a clean-out.
Jetting is only appropriate in lines that can take the pressure. Edwardian and Victorian flats with galvanized and cast-iron stacks; tight boiler rooms in multi-unit buildings. Nearby towns: Daly City, South San Francisco, San Mateo, Brisbane.
Recurring buildup usually tracks local conditions. Fog and salt air corrode supplies; old laterals back up in winter rain. If water is moving, shut the main, then call — routing is by ZIP, not a branded truck. Common dispatch ZIPs in San Francisco include 94102, 94110, 94114, 94117. Nearby codes are covered — call with yours.
A camera after the jet confirms the line is actually clear. Local contractors know which laterals in your city can take jetting.
