A cable punches a hole. A jet cleans the pipe.
High-pressure water blasts grease, sludge, scale, and roots off the pipe wall — so the line stays clear for months to years, not weeks. Camera first, so we only jet when it actually pays off.

Cabling keeps clogs away for weeks. Jetting keeps them away for years.
When a plumber cables a blocked line, they push a rotating bit through the obstruction and restore flow. What they leave behind is the buildup coating the pipe walls — the grease film, the root fragments, the mineral scale. Two months later you're calling again.
Hydro-jetting fires a 360° water nozzle down the line at up to 3,000 PSI. It doesn't poke a hole — it scours the pipe wall clean. We camera the line first to confirm the pipe is sound and to show you exactly what's causing the repeat problem. Camera before and after, so you can see the result — not just take our word for it.
What Jetting Actually Removes
Grease & Sludge
Years of kitchen grease coat pipe walls and narrow the bore until water barely moves. Jetting scours it off to bare pipe.
Tree Root Intrusion
Root-cutting nozzles shear roots off at the pipe wall. Camera after confirms they're gone — not just pushed aside.
Mineral Scale
Hill Country hard water deposits calcium scale on pipe walls over time. Jetting removes what cable can't touch.
Sludge & Debris
Toilet paper, soap buildup, and suspended solids that accumulate along slow-draining sections of the line.
How a Jetting Call Works
Camera the Line
We inspect the pipe first — so we know what's in there and confirm the pipe can handle jetting pressure.
Written Price
After the camera, you get a firm price before any jetting starts. No surprises after the hose goes in.
Jet to the Wall
High-pressure water scours every inch of the pipe wall — not just a hole through the blockage.
When Jetting Is — and Isn't — the Right Call
Jet when…
Don't jet when…
Same clog, third time this year?
Let's camera the line and jet it clean. One call that actually fixes the problem.
830-214-4133Why Hill Country Homeowners Call Cowboy
Camera Always First
We never jet blind. The camera tells us what's in the line, whether the pipe can handle jetting, and gives us the before footage you'll want to compare to the after.
Licensed Master Plumber
Texas Master Plumber License M-36742. Full insurance. Jetting on a compromised pipe can make things worse — you want a licensed plumber making that call.
Honest About the Fix
If a cable clears the line cleanly, we'll cable it. Jetting costs more and we only recommend it when it genuinely solves a recurring problem or restores a heavily built-up line.
Questions Homeowners Ask
What is hydro-jetting and how is it different from running a sewer machine?
A sewer machine punches a hole through the clog. Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water — up to 3,000 PSI — to scour the entire pipe wall clean, removing the grease, sludge, scale, and roots the machine leaves behind. That's why jetted lines stay clear far longer.
Is hydro-jetting safe for old pipes?
That's exactly why we camera the line first, when possible. On sound pipe, jetting is safe and effective. If the camera shows badly cracked or collapsed pipe, we'll tell you jetting isn't the answer and show you the video proving it.
How long does hydro-jetting keep a line clear?
Because jetting cleans to the pipe wall instead of poking a hole through the blockage, results can last months to years. For grease-prone lines, we can put you on a preventive schedule.
Can jetting remove tree roots from my sewer line?
Yes, most of the time — root-cutting jetter nozzles shear roots off at the pipe wall. If roots keep returning, the camera will show us where they're entering so we can talk about a permanent repair for that joint.
Do you camera the line before and after?
Yes, when possible. We camera the line before jetting so you see the problem, and after so you see the result.
