Hydro Jetting & Sewer Line Cleaning in Houston

Hydro jetting cleans a sewer or drain line with a high-pressure water stream — often several thousand psi — fed through a flexible hose with a rear-facing nozzle that scours the full inside wall of the pipe. Where a cable snake punches a hole through a clog, jetting removes the grease, scale and sludge that cause the clog to come back.

When Hydro Jetting Makes Sense

• A main line that keeps clogging after being snaked
• Kitchen lines packed with grease (common in older homes and restaurants)
• Fine tree roots growing into clay sewer laterals
• Scale buildup in cast-iron drain lines
• Routine maintenance for commercial kitchens and multi-unit buildings

Camera First, Then Jet

A good plumber runs a sewer camera inspection before jetting. The camera confirms what the blockage is and, more importantly, whether the pipe is cracked, separated or collapsed. Jetting a badly damaged line can make the damage worse; in that case the right fix is sewer line repair, not cleaning.

Hydro Jetting vs. Snaking

Snaking is quicker and cheaper for a single soft clog in a fixture drain. Hydro jetting costs more but cleans the whole pipe diameter, so it’s the better value for recurring main-line problems. Many Houston homes with original clay or cast-iron sewer lines benefit from jetting every year or two.

Hydro Jetting FAQ

Is hydro jetting safe for old pipes?

For pipes in sound condition, yes — pressure is adjusted to the pipe material. That’s why the camera inspection comes first.

How long does it take?

A typical residential main line takes one to three hours, including the camera inspection.
