Capitol Plumbing & Hydro-Jetting Service | Plumbing Services in San Jose, CA 95121

While a standard drain snake clears a single path through a clog, hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the entire interior surface of your pipe. This is particularly effective for San Jose's common plumbing issues like grease buildup in kitchen lines and the invasive tree roots that can penetrate sewer pipes. Our process removes all debris and restores full flow, providing a more complete and longer-lasting solution than snaking alone. We often use a sewer camera first to confirm it's the right method for your specific situation.

Absolutely. For dishwasher hose leaks, which we see often, we can inspect the supply line, drain connection, and the unit itself to pinpoint the leak source and perform the necessary repair or replacement. For water heater issues like sediment buildup, which is common with our local water, we can flush the tank to restore efficiency and lifespan, or assess if a repair or replacement is needed. These are standard services we handle as part of our comprehensive plumbing repair and installation work.

A sewer camera inspection is our diagnostic tool. We use it when the cause or location of a blockage or leak is unknown, such as with recurring slow drains or before purchasing a property. It lets us see inside the pipe to identify cracks, offsets, or root intrusions. Hydro-jetting is the powerful cleaning solution we recommend after an inspection confirms a buildup of grease, scale, or roots. Think of the camera as our way to find the 'root of the problem,' and hydro-jetting as our method to thoroughly eliminate it.
