Frequently Asked Questions
How much does hydro jetting cost in Texas?
Residential hydro jetting in Texas typically costs $350 to $700 for a main sewer line. Secondary drain lines run $250 to $500. Commercial kitchen jetting costs $400 to $900 due to heavier equipment requirements. A camera inspection before jetting adds $150 to $300 but is recommended to ensure the pipe can safely handle the pressure without damage.
What is hydro jetting and how does it work?
Hydro jetting uses a specialized nozzle attached to a high-pressure hose that shoots water at 3,000 to 4,000 PSI through your drain or sewer pipes. The force of the water scours the entire interior pipe wall, removing grease, scale, roots, and debris. Unlike snaking which only pokes a hole through a clog, hydro jetting restores the pipe to near-original diameter.
Is hydro jetting better than drain snaking?
Hydro jetting is more thorough than snaking because it cleans the full pipe interior rather than just creating a narrow channel through the clog. Snaking is effective for simple blockages and costs less, but for grease buildup, tree roots, or recurring clogs, jetting provides a more complete and longer-lasting solution. Many plumbers recommend jetting after snaking for the best results.
Can hydro jetting damage pipes?
When performed by a licensed professional who first inspects the pipe with a camera, hydro jetting is safe for pipes in good condition. However, it can damage pipes that are already cracked, collapsed, or severely corroded. This is why a pre-jetting camera inspection is strongly recommended. PVC, cast iron, and clay pipes in reasonable condition handle jetting pressure well.
How often should I schedule hydro jetting?
For residential homes with no recurring issues, hydro jetting every two to three years is good preventive maintenance. Homes with mature trees near sewer lines should consider annual jetting to remove root growth. Restaurants and commercial kitchens should schedule quarterly or semi-annual jetting to prevent grease accumulation from causing emergency backups.
Can hydro jetting remove tree roots?
Yes, hydro jetting can cut through and flush out tree roots that have entered sewer and drain pipes. For heavy root intrusion, plumbers often use a mechanical root cutter first to break up the main root mass, then follow with hydro jetting to flush the debris and clean the pipe walls. This combination provides the most thorough root removal available.
