What a San Francisco technician checks first
- Old cast-iron stacks scaling and narrowing over decades.
- Shared laterals serving more than one home.
- Hillside runs where access and slope change the jetting plan.
The job starts with a camera inspection, so the technician sees the pipe material, joints and blockage before choosing a nozzle. Jetting follows in controlled passes, and a second camera pass confirms the line is clear before the visit ends.
Common San Francisco plumbing problems
Most San Francisco calls fall into three patterns: old cast-iron stacks scaling and narrowing over decades, shared laterals serving more than one home, and hillside runs where access and slope change the jetting plan. Each points to a different section of pipe, so the fix is chosen from camera evidence for that section, not from a generic clog treatment.
Questions San Francisco customers ask
Why do drains keep backing up in San Francisco?
Because old cast-iron stacks scaling and narrowing over decades and shared laterals serving more than one home tend to return after a cable-only clear. Jetting cleans the pipe wall itself, and the post-cleaning camera shows whether the diameter is restored.
Is hydro-jetting safe for older San Francisco pipes?
It is safe when the pipe is inspected first and pressure and nozzle are matched to the material the camera found. That inspection step is why CCTV comes before jetting on every mainline job.
