Deep-clean pipes when snaking isn’t enough.
What is hydro jetting?
Hydro jetting uses a high-pressure water stream to scour the inside of drain and sewer pipes. It removes grease, sludge, scale, and fine roots that a cable can leave behind.
Signs you need hydro jetting
- Main-line clogs that return within months
- Grease buildup in a restaurant or busy kitchen line
- Roots or scale visible on a camera inspection
- Slow drains after a cable has already been run
Common causes
Buildup coats the full pipe wall, so punching a hole through it with a cable gives temporary relief. Grease, soap, and mineral scale from Dallas’s moderately hard water are common culprits.
How diagnosis works
A camera inspection before jetting confirms the pipe can handle the pressure. Cracked, offset, or badly corroded pipe may need repair instead.
Repair options
Jetting the main line from a cleanout, jetting specific branch lines, or combining jetting with root treatment or later pipe lining.
Hydro Jetting cost in Dallas

Repair vs. replace
Jetting is a cleaning method, not a repair. If the camera shows a collapsed or broken section, cleaning will not fix it; a sewer line repair will.

Hydro Jetting FAQs
Can hydro jetting damage pipes?
It can on fragile or already damaged pipe, which is why a camera inspection should come first.
Is jetting worth it over snaking?
For recurring grease or scale problems, often yes. For a one-time hair clog, snaking is usually enough.
