Expert Residential Sewer & Drain Cleaning in Sunnyvale & The South Bay
From slow drains to major backups —restore your flow with Hydro Jetting and Rooter Service.
Our Diagnostic Approach
Stop Worrying About Backups
Don't guess what the problem is. We use advanced HD sewer cameras to diagnose the problem instantly without unnecessary digging. Whether it’s tree roots, grease buildup, or a collapsed line, we show you exactly what’s going on before we start work.
When a main sewer line backs up, a standard store-bought drain cleaner won't fix it. You need a heavy-duty rooter plumbing service. While many homeowners instinctively look for commercial corporate entities, Comet Plumbing & Sewer provides a highly rated, family-owned local rooter alternative.
We offer two professional-grade solutions to restore your home’s plumbing depending on your situation.
Hydro Jetting
The Ultimate Clean for Clogged Drains.
Hydro-jetting is the most powerful way to clear stubborn blockages. Unlike snaking, which just punches a hole in
the clog, our high-pressure water system scours the full diameter of the pipe, cutting through roots and flushing out sludge, grease, and debris.
Why Choose Hydro Jetting?
-
Like-New Pipes: Restores flow to the day they were installed.
-
Root Removal: Cuts through invasive roots that cause backups.
-
Safe & Effective: Cleans up to 150 feet of line without damaging your pipes.
-
Preventative: Identifying issues now prevents emergency sewer pipe blockage later.
Main Line Machines with Root Cutting Blades
Our rooter plumbers deploy commercial-grade main
line machines to provide immediate emergency relief from structural blockages. This traditional mechanical rooting plumbing method is highly effective for breaking through tough physical obstructions.
-
Tree Root Intrusions: Invasive tree roots are a primary cause of main sewer line failure. Our specialized pipe rooter clearing tools use heavy-duty cutting blades to shave roots out clean and restore the pipe's diameter.
-
Solid Obstructions: The mechanical cable efficiently breaks apart hardened foreign objects and heavy debris to restore immediate water flow.
-
Sewer Clean-Out Installation: If your property doesn't have an accessible entry point, our rooter plumbers can install a sewer clean-out to quickly eliminate sewer clogs and allow direct access for our sewer rooter equipment.
Before you commit to a repair or agree to unpredictable pricing,
we ensure 100% transparency. Comet Plumbing & Sewer has
the latest video inspection technology to pinpoint the precise
cause and location of an issue.
Once diagnosed, we will walk you through the most effective
solution.

FAQ
This section answers common questions.
-
How do I know if I need Hydro Jetting or Repiping?
If your pipes are structurally sound but clogged with grease or roots, hydro jet drain cleaning is usually sufficient. However, if the pipe has collapsed or is heavily corroded, trenchless pipe repair is the cost-effective, long-term solution.
-
What causes sewer line backups in the Bay Area?
The most common issues we see in Sunnyvale and Santa Clara are tree root intrusion into older clay pipes, grease buildup from kitchens, and shifting soil affecting pipe alignment.
-
Do you offer emergency drain cleaning?
Yes. We handle everything from slow drains to major clogs. Our licensed professionals are available for emergency plumbing services to restore your home's safety and comfort fast.
