Clear Stubborn Sewer Stoppages with 4,000 PSI Water Jetting
Industrial hydro-jetting at 4,000 PSI to clear grease, roots, and mineral buildup.
Traditional snaking can't always solve severe or recurring clogs. Water jetting is the definitive solution for tough blockages and preventative maintenance. Call us if you notice:
Sewer Stoppage and Water Jet Service — What Every Homeowner Should Know
When your main sewer line backs up into the house or multiple drains go slow at once, you're dealing with something a plunger can't fix. Tree roots punch through old clay joints, grease hardens into concrete-like blockages, and decades of soap scum and debris create walls inside your pipes. Blackmon Plumbing handles these tough sewer stoppages across Greater Houston with industrial water jet equipment that cuts through what regular drain snakes can't touch.
Water jetting makes sense when you've got recurring backups in the same line, when a drain snake hits something solid it can't break through, or when multiple fixtures drain slowly despite individual drain cleaning. It's also the right call for preventive maintenance on restaurant grease lines or older homes with cast iron pipes that collect buildup over time. The high-pressure water scours pipe walls clean instead of just poking a hole through the blockage like a snake does.
Our trucks carry 4,000 PSI water jet equipment as standard gear — not something we have to schedule separately or rent for the day. We include camera inspection to show you exactly what was blocking the line and verify it's completely clear before we pack up. With flat-rate pricing approved before work begins, you know the cost upfront whether we're clearing roots from your main line or decades of grease buildup.
Signs You Need Professional Hydro-Jetting
Recurring drain backups in multiple fixtures (sinks, toilets, showers).
Very slow drains throughout your entire home or business.
Foul sewage odors coming from your drains or yard.
Gurgling sounds from pipes, drains, or toilets.
Known issues with tree root intrusion.
Frequent clogs in a commercial kitchen or high-use facility.
Our Sewer Stoppage and Water Jet Process
We don't guess at sewer problems. We diagnose with precision, then get to work on a lasting repair.
Initial Camera Inspection
We begin with a thorough video camera inspection to accurately diagnose the problem. This pinpoints the exact location and cause of the sewer stoppage within your pipes. No guesswork means no wasted time or unnecessary repairs.
High-Pressure Water Jetting
Our technician inserts a specialized, high-pressure hose and nozzle into the line. We blast away the obstruction with a controlled stream of water up to 4,000 PSI. This power cuts through any blockage—grease, debris, or roots.
Complete Line Scouring
The powerful water jet breaks up the primary clog and scours the entire interior wall of the pipe. This removes years of accumulated grease, descales mineral buildup, and shears through tough tree roots. Your line gets restored to like-new flow capacity.
Final Video Verification
Once jetting is complete, we perform a final camera inspection to verify the line is completely clear and flowing freely. This documentation ensures a long-lasting solution and gives you proof the job is done right.
Water Jetting for Any Application
Main Sewer Line Cleaning
Clear the primary line connecting your property to the municipal sewer system, resolving widespread backup issues. We eliminate tree roots, grease buildup, and debris that cause multiple drains to back up simultaneously.
Kitchen & Grease Line Jetting
Target and eliminate years of accumulated grease, soap scum, and food particles that cause stubborn kitchen clogs. High-pressure water cuts through solidified grease that drain snakes can't touch.
Storm Drain & Leader Line Cleaning
Remove leaves, dirt, and debris from exterior drains to prevent flooding and property damage. We clear foundation drains and downspout connections before heavy rains cause basement flooding.
Preventative Maintenance Jetting
A proactive service to keep lines clear, especially for older homes, properties with large trees, or commercial businesses. Regular hydro-jetting prevents emergency backups and extends your plumbing system's life.

Sewer Stoppage and Water Jet Service Questions
Drain snakes punch holes through blockages. Hydro-jetting completely removes them. Our high-pressure water jets scour pipe walls clean, removing grease buildup, soap residue, and debris that snakes leave behind.
Snaking provides temporary relief—blockages return quickly. Water jetting delivers permanent cleaning that prevents recurring stoppages. Our licensed plumbers arrive equipped with both diagnostic cameras and jetting equipment to handle complete sewer line restoration.
Most Houston-area homes benefit from professional hydro-jetting every 18-24 months. Properties with large trees, older cast iron pipes, or frequent kitchen grease disposal need annual service.
Our camera inspection identifies your specific maintenance schedule based on pipe condition and usage patterns. Preventative jetting costs less than emergency stoppage calls. We fix it before it becomes a crisis.
Yes. High-pressure water jetting cuts through tree roots and flushes them completely from your sewer line. Our specialized root-cutting nozzles deliver focused pressure that severs roots at pipe joints and cracks.
Standard drain snakes only punch through root masses—leaving root fragments that regrow quickly. Hydro-jetting removes the entire root structure for long-lasting results. We carry root-cutting attachments on every service truck.
Residential sewer jetting starts at flat-rate pricing with no surprises. We provide upfront cost approval before work begins—no hourly rates or hidden charges.
