Drain Problems & Hydro Jetting Solutions
Common Signs of Drain Problems
Recognizing drain issues early helps prevent more serious problems. Watch for these warning signs in your Sacramento home:
- Slow drainage in sinks, tubs, or showers
- Water backing up in fixtures when others are used
- Gurgling sounds from drains during water use
- Unpleasant odors coming from drains
- Multiple drains experiencing problems simultaneously
These symptoms typically indicate blockages developing in your drain lines that require professional attention.
How Hydro Jetting Works in Sacramento
When conventional drain cleaning methods fall short, Armstrong Plumbing’s hydro jetting service provides a superior solution. This advanced technique uses highly pressurized water to completely clear blockages and clean pipe walls.
The hydro jetting process involves camera inspection, specialized nozzles directing pressurized water, complete removal of debris, thorough pipe wall cleaning, and final inspection. Unlike chemical cleaners that damage pipes, hydro jetting delivers comprehensive cleaning that keeps your Sacramento drains flowing freely.

Watch for slow drainage, gurgling noises, unpleasant odors, and recurring clogs. If multiple drains show these symptoms or water backs up in one fixture when using another, call Armstrong Plumbing right away. Professional drain cleaning in Sacramento prevents small issues from becoming major problems.
Most Sacramento homes benefit from annual drain cleaning to prevent buildup and clogs. Households with large families, older plumbing, or many trees near sewer lines may need more frequent service. Armstrong Plumbing can assess your specific needs and recommend a preventative maintenance schedule.
We use several professional methods beyond what’s available to homeowners. Options include specialized drain snakes, high-definition camera inspection to locate the exact blockage, and hydro jetting that clears pipes completely. These professional techniques solve problems that chemicals can’t touch and prevent damage that harsh drain cleaners often cause.
Look for multiple drains backing up simultaneously, sewage odors around your property, wet spots in your yard, unusually green grass patches, or gurgling toilets when using sinks. These symptoms indicate potential sewer line problems requiring professional assessment by Armstrong Plumbing’s Sacramento technicians.
Cleaning addresses blockages while repairs fix structural issues. Our camera inspections determine which you need by showing the condition of your pipes. Recurring backups despite cleaning typically indicate damage requiring repair. Armstrong Plumbing provides accurate diagnosis before recommending solutions.
Common causes include tree root intrusion, aging pipes reaching the end of their lifespan, ground shifting or settling, improper installation, and buildup of grease or non-flushable items. Sacramento’s mature trees and clay soils make root intrusion particularly common in older neighborhoods.
Prevent issues by avoiding flushing anything except toilet paper, keeping grease out of drains, planting trees away from sewer lines, and scheduling regular maintenance cleaning. Armstrong Plumbing’s preventative services remove buildup before it causes blockages and identify potential problems early.
Traditional sewer replacement typically takes 2-5 days depending on your Sacramento property’s layout and line length. Our trenchless methods can often complete the job in just 1-2 days with minimal disruption to your landscape and daily activities.
Most sewer pipes last 50-100 years depending on material type and installation quality. Cast iron typically lasts 75-100 years, clay pipes 50-60 years, and PVC 100+ years. Armstrong Plumbing can inspect your line to assess its current condition and remaining lifespan.
