Austin’s infrastructure includes a mix of aging pipes in historic neighborhoods and newer, high-efficiency systems in recent developments. Regardless of the age or design, both are vulnerable to blockages caused by our local environment. Heavy rainfall often pushes debris and silt into outdoor drains, while the extended dry spells cause soil to shift, displacing underground pipes. These shifts open the door for tree roots and compacted waste to take hold.

Unlike a plumbing snake that merely punctures a hole in the blockage, hydro jetting removes the buildup from every surface inside the pipe. This ensures the problem doesn’t return a few weeks later. By choosing this method, homeowners and business owners can avoid frequent backups and protect their investment in the long term.

Every hydro jetting service begins with a video inspection. Using a high-resolution, waterproof camera, our technicians assess the interior of your pipes in real time. This diagnostic step helps identify problem areas and confirms that your plumbing can safely handle the pressure of the jetting process.

Once we’ve cleared your system for hydro jetting, we insert a flexible hose equipped with a multi-directional nozzle. Pressurized water—often reaching up to 4,000 PSI—flushes away years of grime, grease, roots, and scale. The entire process happens without chemicals, excavation, or prolonged downtime. You receive immediate results and a full report documenting the work completed.

Several factors make hydro jetting the top choice for homes and businesses throughout the Austin area:

• Comprehensive Cleaning – The high-pressure stream scrubs every inch of the pipe’s interior.

• Long-Term Prevention – Removing the cause of clogs rather than treating the symptoms reduces the likelihood of future blockages.

• Eco-Friendly – No chemicals, no waste, and no negative impact on Austin’s waterways or surrounding landscape.

• Cost-Effective – Fewer backups and repairs translate to significant savings over time.

• Root Removal Without Damage – Hydro jetting eliminates tree roots without cutting into your yard or breaking apart pipe systems.

Whether you live in East Austin’s dense urban grid or a larger property in the Hill Country suburbs, hydro jetting adapts to your plumbing needs with remarkable efficiency.

In Austin, hydro jetting must be performed by licensed professionals who understand local building codes and water conservation policies. At 1st Home & Commercial Services, our technicians hold all required credentials and remain up to date on every regulation relevant to your plumbing system.

Austin’s water management plans encourage homeowners to maintain efficient, leak-free plumbing. Ignoring recurring clogs often leads to pipe damage, leaks, and costly overflows—all of which waste water and strain the municipal system. Routine hydro jetting contributes to sustainability by keeping pipes clear, reducing water waste, and preventing environmental hazards tied to untreated backups.
