Hydro Jetting in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX
Recurring clogs deserve a closer look. If your drains slow down again shortly after cleaning, buildup inside the line may be restricting flow. Total Plumbing Service Inc. can inspect the problem and determine whether hydro jetting is the right way to clean your drain or sewer line.
Our licensed plumbers explain what they find, recommend an appropriate solution, and provide an upfront price before work begins.
What Is Hydro Jetting?
Hydro jetting is a drain and sewer cleaning method that uses a controlled stream of high-pressure water to remove buildup from inside a pipe. Depending on the condition of the line, it may help clear grease, sludge, and other material that contributes to repeated clogs.
The right cleaning method depends on what is blocking the line and the condition of the pipe. A camera inspection can help us identify the cause before recommending hydro jetting or another service.
Signs You May Need Hydro Jetting
Hydro jetting may be worth considering when:
- The same drain or sewer line clogs repeatedly.
- Several fixtures drain slowly or back up.
- Grease or sludge buildup is affecting the line.
- A previous cleaning restored flow, but the problem returned.
- A camera inspection shows buildup along the pipe walls.
These symptoms can also point to roots or pipe damage. We’ll diagnose the issue before recommending a cleaning method.
Hydro Jetting vs. Drain Snaking
A drain snake or auger can be effective for breaking through or removing a localized clog. Hydro jetting uses water to clean buildup along more of the pipe’s interior. Neither is the right answer for every blockage.
If an inspection reveals a broken, collapsed, or severely deteriorated line, cleaning alone will not repair it. We’ll show you what we find and explain the available sewer repair options if needed.
1. Diagnose the drain problem
We’ll discuss the symptoms, locate the affected line, and inspect it as needed. A sewer camera inspection can help reveal buildup, roots, or damage that may be causing repeat backups.
2. Recommend the right solution
If the pipe’s condition and the type of blockage make hydro jetting appropriate, we’ll explain the work and provide an upfront price. If another cleaning or repair method makes more sense, we’ll explain that option instead.
3. Clean and check the line
Our plumber uses professional hydro jetting equipment to clean the line, then checks drainage to see how it is flowing. We’ll let you know if the inspection reveals an underlying issue that still needs attention.
Hydro jetting needs to be matched to the pipe’s condition. Older or deteriorated lines may need inspection before high-pressure cleaning is considered. That’s particularly relevant for homes with aging cast-iron sewer pipes or a history of recurring sewer problems.
Our team evaluates the line and explains the recommended approach before starting work.
The price depends on the location and length of the line, access to a suitable cleanout, the type of buildup, and whether inspection or other work is needed. We don’t quote a one-size-fits-all price over the phone. After evaluating your plumbing, we’ll give you an upfront price to approve before work begins.
