When Is Hydro Jetting Worth It for Bellaire Homes?

You’ve tried plungers. You’ve tried drain snakes. You’ve even tried every drain cleaner on the shelf… but the clog still comes back.

If you’re a homeowner in Bellaire — especially in older neighborhoods like Southdale, Evergreen, or Bellaire Oaks — your problem may be deeper than you think. And hydro jetting might be the best solution.

What Is Hydro Jetting?

Hydro jetting is a method of drain cleaning that uses high-pressure water (up to 4,000 PSI) to blast through:

  • Thick grease buildup
  • Tree roots
  • Soap scum and hard water residue
  • Debris and gunk in old cast iron or clay pipes

Think of it like power washing the inside of your pipes — completely clearing the walls and restoring full flow.

When Is Hydro Jetting a Smart Choice?

Hydro jetting is usually worth it when:

You’ve had multiple drain backups in the same line
Your pipes are older and likely coated in debris
Tree roots are invading your sewer line
You want a long-term solution — not a band-aid
You're dealing with commercial or high-use lines
A camera inspection confirms buildup or partial blockages

When Hydro Jetting Might NOT Be Ideal

We’ll never recommend it blindly — in some cases, hydro jetting isn’t the right move:

  • ❌ If the pipe is already cracked or collapsed
  • ❌ For certain soft or fragile PVC setups
  • ❌ If pressure testing shows line instability

That’s why we always do a camera inspection first — to make sure hydro jetting is safe and effective for your line.

Camera + Jetting = Powerful Combo

At Red One Plumbing, our go-to combo is:

  1. Sewer Camera Inspection to confirm buildup or roots
  2. Hydro Jetting to fully clean and restore the line
  3. Post-jetting footage & report so you can see the difference

It’s clean. It’s fast. It works. And we’ve used it successfully in dozens of Bellaire homes.

How Long Does It Last?

A single hydro jetting treatment can last months or even years — depending on:

  • How old your pipes are
  • What caused the blockage
  • What type of use your line sees (kids, grease, etc.)

We’ll also give you tips for keeping things clean long after we leave.

Bellaire Homes Are Ideal Candidates

Bellaire homes often have older plumbing and dense tree cover — the perfect combo for recurring clogs.

Hydro jetting is one of the few ways to actually clean the entire pipe wall and prevent buildup from coming back.
