Hydro Jetting and Plumbing for Isla Vista, CA Rentals
Isla Vista rentals work their plumbing harder than most homes, with full houses of roommates cooking, showering, and doing laundry every day. We help owners, managers, and tenants with hydro jetting, drain cleaning, and plumbing repairs, from Del Playa to the Pardall corridor. You get an upfront price before any work starts.
One crew that learns your buildings
Owners with several units want one company that knows their properties. Every job starts with an upfront price and ends with cleanup and a recap.
We have used Armor a few times and have been completely happy with the professional work and promptness of this company. These guys never disappoint.
How a school year closes up a kitchen drain
A full house of roommates sends more grease, food, and soap down the line than the pipe was sized for. It sticks to the wall in layers until, by June, many kitchen lines are down to a small opening.
Del Playa to the open space, block by block
We work every part of Isla Vista. From the 101, our trucks come in on Storke Road and El Colegio Road.

Restaurants, shops, and apartments on older shared lines.
Apartment blocks with shared main lines and laundry rooms.

Why snaking a busy kitchen line does not last
Drain cleaning with a cable is fine for one slow sink. A line that clogs every few months needs hydro jetting.

Cleans the pipe
Equipment sized for shared lines
A house plumbed for one family and lived in by a full house of adults needs more than a hand snake.

Tap a card to flip it and see what we do about it.
The kitchen sink backs up again
We jet the line back to the pipe wall, so it stops closing up every few months.
Every bathroom drains slowly
That points to the main line. A camera finds the cause, then the jetter clears the whole run.
Sewage is coming up in the shower
Stop running water and call. We clear the blocked main, run the camera, and plan a sewer line repair only if the pipe is broken.
No hot water for the whole house
Big households empty a tank fast and wear it out early. Our water heater services cover repair and replacement.
A pipe burst late at night
Close the main shutoff first. Emergency plumbing phones are open 24 hours on weekdays and 7 AM to 11 PM on weekends.
The toilet will not stop clogging
Often wipes or a partial blockage farther down. We clear it and check the line so it does not keep happening.
Older buildings, full houses, one tight calendar
Most of Isla Vista is rental housing: older apartment blocks and houses with as many bedrooms as they will hold. The pipes were sized for a family, and the lease year sets when work is easiest to do.
Move-out
A year of hard use shows up at once: packed kitchen lines, hair in the showers, worn fixtures.
The reset window
The quiet weeks. Jet the main lines, camera anything with a history, and check water heaters while the houses are empty.
Move-in
Every system goes straight to full load. Lines that skipped the summer reset are the ones most likely to back up.

Call (805) 232-8380Most owners start with a summer reset on each property: jet the main lines, camera anything with a history, and check the water heaters. After that, we already know your buildings when something comes up.
Tell your landlord or manager first, since they usually approve and pay for the work. If sewage is coming up into a tub or shower, call us right away. That cannot wait.
A snake opens a hole and leaves the grease coating behind, and the next layer catches on it. Jetting strips the pipe back to the wall, so the cycle stops.
Yes. A sewer camera inspection shows what is in the pipe, so owners and managers can decide from what they see, not from a guess.
Full house, slow drains?
Call and a real person answers. Tell us the street, the problem, and who approves the work, and we will tell you what it needs and when we can be there.
