Hydrojetting

Frequently Asked Questions

What is hydrojetting?

Hydrojetting is a powerful drain cleaning method that uses high-pressure water—up to 4,000 PSI—to blast away blockages, grease, tree roots, and built-up sludge from the inside of your pipes. Unlike a traditional snake that pokes a hole through a clog, hydrojet drain cleaning clears the entire pipe wall, restoring full flow. At Radiant Plumbing & Air Conditioning, we use jetting equipment with built-in cameras so we can inspect your lines before and after to ensure a complete, damage-free clean.

Absolutely—especially for homes in Austin and San Antonio where tree roots, grease buildup, and aging pipes can cause recurring backups. Hydrojetting is one of the most effective long-term solutions for stubborn clogs and slow drains. It’s safe for most modern plumbing systems and cleans your pipes far more thoroughly than basic snaking. Radiant Plumbing & Air Conditioning uses professional-grade drain jetting tools to restore your system with minimal mess and maximum results.

The cost of hydrojetting a sewer line depends on factors like the length of the line, how severe the blockage is, and whether a camera inspection is included. At Radiant, we provide upfront pricing based on your specific situation—no surprises. Our goal is always to solve your problem efficiently and effectively, and we’ll walk you through the best solution for your home before we begin.

Hydrojet Drain Cleaning That Gets to the Root of the Problem

Some clogs just don’t quit. If your drain backs up again right after snaking—or worse, you’re dealing with years of grease, soap scum, or tree roots deep in your pipes—it’s time to bring out the big guns. Radiant Plumbing & Air Conditioning offers hydrojet drain cleaning to clear the toughest blockages with high-pressure water and zero guesswork.

This isn’t your average drain snake. Hydrojetting scrubs the full interior of your pipes, removing buildup and restoring maximum flow. Whether it’s a slow-moving kitchen drain or a main sewer line that just can’t stay clear, Radiant gets to the root of the problem—literally and figuratively.

What Is Hydrojetting?

Hydro jetting (also called drain jetting) uses a specialized nozzle connected to a high-pressure hose to blast water into your drain or sewer line. The jet stream—often reaching up to 4,000 PSI—is strong enough to cut through tree roots, break up mineral scale, and flush away sludge and grease that other tools leave behind.

The nozzle sprays in multiple directions to scour every inch of the pipe, not just punch through a clog. It’s safe for most modern plumbing systems and extremely effective at clearing:

  • Tree root intrusions
  • Hardened grease and oil
  • Soap and hair buildup
  • Sand, sludge, and debris
  • Scale and mineral deposits

Before we jet, Radiant performs a camera inspection to check the condition of your pipes and identify the blockage. We also inspect afterward—so you can see the difference for yourself.

Why Austin and San Antonio Homes Benefit from Drain Jetting

Our region’s older infrastructure, tree-lined properties, and high mineral content make hydrojetting more than a nice-to-have—it’s often the most practical choice.

Common issues we see include:

  • Tree roots in clay or cast iron sewer lines
  • Recurring kitchen clogs due to hardened grease
  • Laundry line backups from lint and soap scum
  • Scale buildup in older galvanized or concrete piping

In these cases, a basic snaking might poke a hole in the problem—but hydrojetting clears it all out. And for many Austin and San Antonio homeowners, that means fewer call-backs, cleaner drains, and peace of mind.

How Hydrojet Drain Cleaning Works

Here’s what to expect when you schedule hydrojetting with Radiant:

  1. Initial inspection – We use a sewer camera to find the blockage and evaluate pipe condition.
  2. System access – Our technician identifies the cleanout access or opens the line as needed.
  3. Jetting begins – Using a professional-grade nozzle, we blast high-pressure water through the drain to break up and flush away all debris.
  4. Final inspection – After the blockage is cleared, we verify flow and confirm everything looks clean and intact.
  5. Cleanup and recap – We’ll leave the area clean and walk you through what we found.

How Much Does Hydrojetting Cost?

The cost of hydrojetting a sewer line depends on:

  • The severity of the blockage
  • How long the line is
  • Whether access is available
  • If camera inspection is included

At Radiant, we’ll give you upfront pricing before work begins. No hidden fees. No surprises. Just a clear plan to get your drains flowing like new again.
