Hydro-Jetting
Hydro-Jetting in Huntsville, TX
When a cable can't fully clear a line, hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the full diameter of the pipe — removing grease, sludge, and root intrusion that standard cabling can leave behind.

Cuts through root intrusion
High-pressure water breaks up and flushes root growth that has worked its way into a sewer line's joints.
Removes grease buildup
Jetting scours grease and fat coating the inside of kitchen and restaurant drain lines, restoring full pipe diameter.
Cleans the whole pipe wall
Unlike cabling, which cuts a path through a clog, jetting scrubs the entire circumference of the pipe.
Reduces how often clogs return
Because it clears buildup along the full pipe, jetting can reduce how quickly debris re-accumulates in the line.
Good Candidates for Jetting
Hydro-jetting isn't always the right first step. We often pair it with a camera inspection so we can confirm the line's condition and jetting is the right fit before we begin.
- Recurring grease clogs in kitchen or restaurant lines
- Sewer lines affected by tree-root intrusion
- Older lines with heavy scale or sediment buildup
- Main lines that keep clogging despite repeated cabling
Pairs Well With
A camera inspection before and after jetting lets us confirm the blockage type and verify the line is fully clear once we're done.

High-Pressure Jetting Equipment
Our jetting equipment pumps water through a specialized hose and nozzle at high pressure, cleaning the full diameter of the pipe as it feeds through the line. It's the same category of equipment used industry-wide for lines that cabling can't fully clear.
Safety and Diagnosis First
High-pressure water isn't the right tool for every line. For older pipes or lines of unknown condition, we may recommend a camera inspection first to confirm the pipe can safely handle jetting before we begin.

- What is hydro-jetting?
- Hydro-jetting uses a hose that sprays high-pressure water through the full diameter of a drain or sewer line, scouring the pipe wall to remove grease, sludge, and root intrusion rather than just cutting a path through a clog.
- How is hydro-jetting different from cabling or snaking?
- A cable machine cuts a path through a specific clog. Hydro-jetting cleans the entire circumference of the pipe, which makes it more effective on grease buildup, scale, and root intrusion that cabling can leave behind.
- Is hydro-jetting safe for every line?
- Not always as a first step. For older lines or lines of unknown condition, we may recommend a camera inspection first to confirm the pipe can handle high-pressure water before jetting.
- Do you inspect the line before or after jetting?
- A camera inspection before jetting helps confirm the blockage type and pipe condition. Afterward, a camera check can verify the line is fully clear.
