Hydro jetting washes a Beaumont drain or sewer lateral clean with high-pressure water, clearing grease, wipes and soap buildup that snaking often leaves behind. In a city where most homes are fairly new, it is usually about buildup rather than broken pipe. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Beaumont.
When you call
The number on this page connects you with an independent plumber who serves Beaumont. Tell them which drains are affected, whether the kitchen or the main line is the problem and what has been tried. On arrival, the plumber finds a cleanout, may run a camera to locate the blockage and then sends the jet in with a nozzle suited to grease or debris. The hose is pulled back slowly so the spray scrubs the whole circumference of the pipe.
Cost drivers
- Access to the line through a cleanout or fixture
- The distance from the house to the City sewer connection
- How much grease or debris has built up
- A camera inspection added to the visit
- Time of day
Beaumont conditions
Beaumont splits its utilities: Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District bills for water, while the City of Beaumont provides and bills sewer service. So if a backup seems to come from the public main, the City is the agency to contact, not the water district.
The housing stock is young, with a median year built of 2006, reflecting rapid growth after 2000 in master-planned subdivisions such as Solera, Fairway Canyon and Sundance. Most of these homes have plastic drain pipe that resists corrosion and roots far better than older materials. Clogs here are more often grease from the kitchen, wipes in the main line or a gradual lining of soap and minerals. BCVWD's groundwater averages about 173 ppm total hardness, which can add to that lining over time.
Beaumont sits at the summit of the San Gorgonio Pass and is cooler than much of the Inland Empire, with more frequent winter frost. An outdoor cleanout or exposed drain section in a windy, shaded spot is worth protecting on cold nights, and a cracked cleanout cap should be replaced so dirt and water do not get into the line. Santa Ana wind events can also scatter leaves and debris that find their way into an uncapped cleanout. If jetting turns up damaged pipe, Beaumont Building & Safety accepts permit applications electronically only, at [email protected].
Before the plumber gets there
- Hold off on laundry and the dishwasher
- Find and uncover the cleanout cap
- Note which fixtures slowed first
- Keep the area around any overflow clear
