Hydro Jetting in Austin

When grease-clogged commercial kitchens in Downtown Austin or tree root invasions in Hyde Park create sewer pipe blockages that resist standard cleaning methods, properties need more than routine drain maintenance. Roto-Rooter's Austin hydro jetting technology delivers the power to clear the most stubborn blockages that mechanical equipment cannot match.

Austin's extensive commercial food service industry, mature trees, and aging underground sewers in neighborhoods like South Congress and Mueller create conditions that commonly lead to severe residential and commercial sewer blockages requiring this advanced approach.

Our experienced plumbing technicians assess each situation thoroughly and recommend Austin hydro jet drain cleaning only when standard sewer cleaning methods prove insufficient. What is Hydro Jetting?

Hydro jetting employs high-pressure water streams, typically ranging from 3,000 to 4,000 psi, delivered through high-pressure hoses with an array of specialized nozzles that can be mounted on the tip of the hose to scour pipe interiors completely clean. Unlike mechanical snaking that cuts through blockages with sharp blades, the hydro jetting process blasts through stubborn debris, grease buildup, mud, silt, mineral scale, and tree roots, and washes the debris through the pipeline and into the much larger municipal pipelines that can carry the remaining traces to the water treatment plant.

Professional hydro jetting equipment demands skilled technicians who understand proper pressure settings, nozzles, and safety protocols for different pipe materials and conditions.

Roto-Rooter's comprehensive approach to hydro jet drain cleaning in Austin often begins with a video camera inspection of the inside of the pipeline to accurately diagnose blockage severity and pipe condition before determining the appropriate cleaning method.

While our mechanical cleaning equipment effectively handles most residential drain issues, hydro jetting is a better solution when pipes are clogged with grease, sludge, or mud, particularly in commercial kitchens facing grease accumulation or older homes dealing with mature root infiltration and mineral scale build up.
