When heavy kitchen grease or thick tree roots choke your plumbing system, standard snaking tools cannot clear the pipe completely. Fortunately, at SewerTV Hydro Jetting and Plumbing, we provide the heavy-duty hydro jetting San Antonio property owners rely on to blast away stubborn obstructions. We stand behind our rapid response team with our 1-hour service guarantee.
Hydro jetting is a non-invasive pipe cleaning method that utilizes highly pressurized water to scrub the interior walls of your sewer lines. Unlike basic cabling, this advanced system blasts away grease, scale, and heavy root intrusions. Consequently, it restores old pipes to a “like-new” state without the use of harsh chemical cleaners.
Different buildings put different demands on their wastewater systems. Because of this, we optimize our equipment for various local properties:
Keep your family safe from unexpected sewer backups caused by household hair, soap, or tree roots.
Commercial kitchens face constant grease buildup. Therefore, regular commercial hydro jetting keeps your business open and code-compliant.
Maintain clear main lines in apartment complexes to prevent complex, multi-unit flooding emergencies.
A clogged sewer can cause massive property damage if left untreated. Fortunately, our high-pressure systems solve the most difficult underground line issues:
Hydro jetting solves a lot of problems, but not every plumbing issue calls for it. Here’s what else we handle:
Rapid-response, 24/7 assistance for sudden pipe bursts, slab leaks, and severe sewage backups to protect your property from water damage.
No-dig structural pipe restoration that fixes cracked underground lines from the inside out without destroying your yard or driveway.
Fast diagnostics and troubleshooting for traditional systems, tank flushing, and energy-efficient tankless water heater installations.
Custom-engineered exterior drainage solutions designed to redirect pooling rainwater and protect your foundation from shifting clay soils.
Advanced mechanical drain snaking paired with high-definition camera inspections to instantly clear stubborn household blockages.
Professional underground structural remediation addressing collapsed or severely degraded mainlines to restore complete wastewater flow safely.
Advanced acoustic and thermal imaging diagnostics used to pinpoint hidden moisture sources beneath concrete slabs or inside walls.
Immediate mechanical isolation and physical replacement of ruptured water supply lines to prevent catastrophic flooding and property loss.
High-definition visual assessments of subterranean pipe interiors to accurately map root intrusions, structural fractures, and severe blockages.
Our specialized process targets the entire length of your main sewer line. First, we use a fiber-optic camera to verify your pipe’s structural health. Next, our team inserts a specialized multi-directional nozzle into your sewer cleanout. The machine releases up to 4,000 PSI of pressurized water, slicing through roots and flushing out years of buildup.
We inspect the pipe wall structure to locate blockages and check for cracks.
We select the correct nozzle angle based on the type of debris inside.
Our team flushes the line, moving backward to draw debris out.
We run the camera through the pipe again to show you the spotless results.
We clean our workspace and share tips to prevent future clogs.
We believe in complete transparency and absolute quality. Therefore, every standard sewer jetting package includes:
Our standard sewer jetting services typically range from $550–$650, depending on the condition of the line, the severity of the blockage, and the accessibility of the sewer system. After completing the initial camera inspection, we’ll provide a clear recommendation and confirm the exact scope of work before service begins.
Traditional snaking only punches a narrow hole through tough blockages, leaving sticky residues behind. However, high-pressure water jetting offers complete long-term protection for your line:
High-pressure drain cleaning wipes away sticky grease deposits that traditional blades simply glide past.
Mineral deposits from the local Edwards Aquifer build up inside metal pipes. Fortunately, our water pressure shears this scale away easily.
The high-velocity streams cut through aggressive root bundles without damaging older underground sewer lines.
By removing all interior debris, this process keeps your sewer lines working flawlessly for a much longer period.
We reject generic industry shortcuts. Our team brings advanced trenchless technology and deep local expertise to protect your property from costly foundation and pipe structural failures.
No hidden fees, fine print, or high-pressure upsells, just clear options and reasonable prices before work begins.
Our specialists master complex diagnostics, precision hydro jetting tips, and advanced underground tracking.
We specialize in non-invasive plumbing rerouting to protect your home from San Antonio's shifting clay soils.

Different sewer issues require different clearing tools. Review our comparison guide below to see which option fits your needs best.
| Service Metric | Traditional Cable Snaking | Hydro-Jetting Service | Chemical Drain Solvents |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary Clearing Force | Steel blade rotation | High-pressure water | Acidic chemical reaction |
| Grease Removal | Poor (punches a temporary hole) | Excellent (clears pipe walls) | Very Poor (leaves residue) |
| Root Clearing Power | Moderate (leaves small roots) | Superior (shears roots flush) | Non-effective on heavy roots |
| Pipe Safety Rating | Safe for solid lines | Safe (when camera-verified) | High risk of pipe corrosion |
High-pressure water jetting is completely safe for older cast iron lines when performed correctly. However, we always conduct a video camera inspection first. This allows us to confirm your pipes are structurally sound enough to handle the water pressure.
A plumbing snake uses a metal cable to punch a small hole through soft blockages to restore slow drains. Conversely, hydro jetting uses pressurized water to scrub the entire interior wall of your pipe clean, removing all grease, scale, and roots.
Most high-volume restaurants need professional sewer jetting every 3 to 6 months. This preventive maintenance keeps heavy kitchen grease from solidifying and causing sudden, expensive backups.
