Commercial Hydro Jetting Across the Bay Area
Restaurant, HOA, and commercial drain lines carry far more grease, sediment, and debris than a residential line. Scheduled commercial hydro jetting keeps those lines flowing and prevents the after-hours backup that costs a business its evening. The Otter Squad cameras the line first to confirm jetting is safe, then jets it and cameras it again so you see the result. We are a family-owned, union contractor licensed C-36 and C-42 under CSLB #1053855. Clear Lines or You Don't Pay a Dime.
The Otter Squad Guarantee
Clear Lines or You Don't Pay a Dime. If we can't clear your blocked line using our standard drain clearing procedure, you don't pay for the attempt.
Commercial Jetting Clears:
- Restaurant Grease & Fat Buildup
- HOA & Multi-Tenant Main Lines
- Commercial Kitchen & Floor Drains
- Scale & Sludge in Long Runs
- Camera-Verified Before & After
- Documented Condition Reports
When to Schedule Commercial Jetting
A commercial backup is a revenue and inspection problem. These are the signs to jet before that happens.
- A restaurant line that backs up or slows on a recurring cycle, which means grease is building faster than snaking can keep up.
- An HOA or multi-tenant main line with slow drains across units, which points to the shared line.
- A floor drain or kitchen line that has been snaked repeatedly and still returns within weeks.
- A line due for a scheduled maintenance jet to stay ahead of a health inspection.
- A commercial kitchen preparing for a health inspection or a high-volume service period.
How a Commercial Jetting Job Runs
We camera first, jet, then camera again — so you see the line clean end to end and have a documented record.
- 1
Camera first.
We confirm the line is sound enough to jet and identify what is on the wall — grease, scale, roots, or sludge. A fragile or collapsed line is not a jetting candidate.
- 2
Jet the line.
We feed the jetter nozzle through the line, scouring the walls clean with high-pressure water calibrated to your pipe diameter.
- 3
Camera after.
We run the camera again so you see the line clean end to end — the proof the job is done, documented for your records.
- 4
Set a maintenance cadence.
For recurring grease or scale, we set a jetting cadence so the line stays ahead of the next backup or inspection.
What Affects the Cost of Commercial Jetting
Commercial jetting is bid per job. What we promise is a free assessment and a firm written bid before any work begins. These are the factors that move the number.
- •Length and diameter of the line being jetted.
- •What is on the wall — grease, scale, roots, or sludge — which changes the time on the line.
- •Whether the line is a single lateral or a shared HOA / multi-tenant main.
- •Access — whether an existing cleanout reaches the line or one needs to be added.
- •After-hours or weekend scheduling to keep a business open during the service.
- •Documentation requirements — condition reports for ownership or inspectors.
Jetting, Grease Traps, and Maintenance Plans
Jetting clears the line; a grease trap and a maintenance plan keep it from coming back. We bundle all three.
For a restaurant, jetting alone is a cycle — the grease comes back. A grease trap service catches the grease at the source, and a commercial drain maintenance plan bundles jetting, grease trap service, and camera inspection on a set cadence so the line stays ahead of the next backup. When jetting stops holding, the camera usually finds a structural defect under the grease, and that is when commercial sewer repair, not cleaning, is the answer.
