What is the difference between standard drain cleaning and hydro jetting?

Standard drain repair in Santa Barbara, CA typically involves cabling (snaking) to clear minor localized clogs. For severe blockages, tree root intrusions, or heavy grease buildup, we recommend hydro jetting in Santa Barbara, CA. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water blasting to completely scour the interior walls of your pipes, restoring your sewer lines to like-new condition.

How much does hydro jetting cost in Santa Barbara?

Hydro jetting costs vary depending on pipe length, level of blockage, and access difficulty. Because every situation is different, we provide free, upfront estimates after a quick assessment so you know the cost before any work begins.

What is a CCTV pipeline inspection?

A CCTV pipeline inspection uses a small waterproof camera to visually inspect the inside of your sewer or drain lines. It lets us pinpoint the exact location and cause of a blockage, crack, or root intrusion without any guesswork or unnecessary digging.

Do you service commercial properties?

Yes. In addition to residential plumbing, we provide commercial plumbing services for businesses throughout Santa Barbara County, including repairs, maintenance, backflow testing, and gas line work.

We had a clogged kitchen sink that backed up into both sinks, and called several plumbers only to be told they couldn't come for over a week due to a shortage of workers during COVID. One company confirmed an appointment only to cancel on the day of our appointment! My husband tried his hand at clearing the clog, but inadvertently broke a plastic coupling, causing a flood under the sink, and still couldn't clear the clog. That meant we couldn't use the water OR the sink because of the big leak. Going over a week without use of the water in the kitchen is a real bummer ... can't wash your hands, make coffee, prepare meals, clean up, or wash dishes! The bathroom sink and bathtub are as poor alternative. We called Anacapa Plumbing right away. They were plenty busy too, but thankfully worked us in. Torin came at the end of the business day. He ran 1.5 hrs late, which is why I didn't give 5 stars. I can't say enough good about Torin! He was so cheerful, personable, and energetic, which is incredible because he had already worked a full day. He took a look at the problem, had all the tools and parts in his truck, and set right to work. He was knowledgeable, skillful, fast, and efficient. He had to snake 30 feet out to clear the clog, replaced the broken portion of pipe, and had the mess cleaned up in less than one hour. Bravo Torin! We are so grateful to Torin and Anacapa Plumbing!

Anacapa plumbing has again come to my rescue.
An electrician noticed old cracked plumbing pipes under our 1909 home. Anacapa sent Jaime out to assess the job. Jaime cut and replaced the old rusted, cracked iron pipes. He then evaluated the other pipes which were in dire need of replacing as well.
We would never have noticed the damage as the crawlspace is difficult to navigate. Jamie was knowledgeable, proficient and worked diligently to get a difficult job done.

I really appreciated that Jaime took the time to show me the damage and explain why the other pipes needed to be replaced, rather than just doing the bare minimum.

I highly recommend Anacapa Plumbing as they have always accommodated my needs in a timely manner and sent competent workers.
