Hydro Jetting Services Near You in San Antonio
If your drains keep clogging or your sewer line keeps backing up, a basic snaking might not be enough. In many San Antonio homes, buildup sticks to pipe walls over time, shrinking the opening and slowing everything down, even after you clear the main clog.
PlumbSmart uses hydro jetting to wash the pipe clean with water, not harsh chemicals. It is a great option for heavy grease, thick sludge, and long runs where you want a fresh start.
Common Signs You Need Hydro Jetting
Hydro jetting is often the next step when clogs come back fast or multiple drains act up at once. If you are dealing with slow flow, gurgling, or frequent backups, your pipes may have a coating of buildup that a standard drain cleaning cannot fully remove.
The same drain clogs again and again
Slow drains in sinks, tubs, or showers
Multiple drains backing up at the same time
Gurgling sounds after you flush or run water
Sewer smells coming from drains
Water backing up in the tub or shower
A snake fix that only lasts a short time
Not sure what is going on? In San Antonio, we start with questions about your symptoms and then inspect the line when needed, often with a camera. That lets us confirm where the buildup is, check pipe condition, and decide if hydro jetting is the safest and most effective fix.
Nobody wants to worry every time they run the sink or flush. Call PlumbSmart for hydro jetting in San Antonio, and we will restore strong drain flow with clean, careful work you can trust.
Hydro Jetting Prevention & Maintenance
Hydro jetting is not just for emergencies. Maintenance hydro jetting in San Antonio can help keep grease and sludge from building up again, especially in kitchen lines and main sewer lines. It is a smart reset that keeps drains moving.

Master plumber Chris Garza did an outstanding job finding our leak and repairing it immediately. He was professional, efficient, and the cost was very reasonable. We couldn’t be happier with the service and highly recommend him.Posted on Kathleen BallTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joey came by today to check on our fire place because we were concerned about a gas leak. From the start, this experience was great. It was easy to submit a booking request and the scheduler called a few hours afterward to set the time. They had an appointment available the very same day, which was great. I love how they sent info ahead regarding who the tech was. Joey called me before hand to say he could come by sooner if we wanted. He was professional, straight to the point, and put our minds at ease. I will definitely give these guys a call for any future plumbing issues we run into.Posted on David LinnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our technician was very professional and talked me through everything he was going to do to fix our water softener. He rocked!Posted on Richard HouseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Outstanding service in every way. I got a next-day appointment, the technician (Paul) was on time and fixed the problem (stopped up drain) in less than 30 minutes. He was very professional and thorough in explaining and fixing the problem. He also explained various service options they provide for ongoing preventative maintenance.Posted on Ken RobertsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Install a recirculating pump. Joey did outstanding work. Good price. Only problem is Plumsmart management sent Jorge the day before for the quote. They replaced Jorge with Joey which I am ok with. Just needed to be notified of the change. After the service was completed they sent me a review on Jorge, not Joey who did the work. No recipe either for work perform.Posted on Mary RamirezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joey was very helpful and kind, he took the time to explain, was very professional. Thank you for your good service, and appreciate the discount on first time use, really came in handy. Thank you.

FAQs
What is hydro jetting and how does it work?
Hydro jetting uses a special hose and nozzle to send high pressure water through your drain or sewer line. The water scrubs the inside walls of the pipe, breaking up grease, sludge, and debris so everything can flow freely again.
Is hydro jetting safe for older San Antonio pipes?
It can be, but it depends on the condition of the line. At PlumbSmart, we inspect first and adjust pressure based on pipe material and age. If we see cracks or weak spots, we will recommend a safer drain cleaning option.
How much does hydro jetting cost in San Antonio?
Pricing depends on how long the line is, how tough the buildup is, and whether we need a camera inspection first. Simple drain jetting costs less than main sewer hydro jetting. After a quick evaluation, we give a clear estimate before work begins.
How often should I schedule hydro jetting maintenance?
Most homes do not need it every year, but busy kitchens, restaurants, and homes with frequent clogs may benefit from routine hydro jetting. PlumbSmart can recommend a schedule based on your drain history, pipe layout, and what we see during inspection.
Will hydro jetting remove tree roots in sewer lines?
Hydro jetting can cut out small root growth and wash away the debris it creates. If roots are thick or the pipe is damaged, jetting may be only part of the solution. We often pair hydro jetting with camera inspection to confirm results.
