Hydro jetting in Hitchcock, Texas
If a drain in Hitchcock keeps blocking after being cabled, the pipe is still lined with whatever caused it. Jetting removes that material instead of boring a hole through it.
Why drain lines fail in Hitchcock
On the coast the ground is wet, the water table is high, and salt air is hard on everything metal. Drain lines around Hitchcock take groundwater through any joint that has opened, and that water carries silt and sand into the pipe.
Storm season is the real test. Intense rainfall can surcharge municipal systems, and when the public main is full a private line has nowhere to discharge. That produces a backup even when your own pipe is clear.
We cover Hitchcock as a whole, whether you are by Mahan Park or out on the Galveston County roads past the edge of the built-up area.

Signs your line needs cleaning
Most people call us after the second or third of these. Calling after the first is cheaper, because a restricted line is easier to deal with than a blocked one.
- More than one fixture backing up at the same time
- Gurgling from a toilet or tub when the washing machine drains
- Sewage appearing at the lowest drain in the building
- A drain that was cleared recently and is already slowing
- Sewer smell near a cleanout, basement or floor drain
- Standing water at a floor sink or dish pit
- Toilets that need a second flush to clear
- Ponding in a yard or car park long after the rain stops
How a Hitchcock job runs
From the first call to the final camera pass, this is the process on every Hitchcock job.
-
You call and we diagnose over the phone
What is backing up, how many fixtures, and whether there is an accessible cleanout. That tells us what to bring and tells you what to do meanwhile.
-
We inspect before cleaning
A camera pass establishes whether it is roots, grease, scale, a belly holding water or a structural failure. Only some of those are fixed by cleaning.
-
Pressure matched to your pipe
Clay, PVC, cast iron and Orangeburg all need different handling. Old, thin or heavily scaled pipe gets pressure dialled back deliberately.
-
Jet the full run and flush it out
We work the nozzle through the whole length rather than stopping at the blockage, and flush the loosened material out of the system.
-
Re-camera and show you
The second pass is the only honest proof the line is clear. If it shows something cleaning will not fix, you get that straight along with the footage.
Why Hitchcock customers call us
Commercial and kitchen work is scheduled around your hours, normally overnight or before prep, and you get documentation of what was found and done for your maintenance records.
You get to see the footage. The second camera pass after jetting is the only honest proof the line is clear, and if it shows something cleaning cannot fix you get that straight.
We match pressure and nozzle to your pipe. A clay main with roots takes a different approach than a PVC line glazed with grease, and old cast iron needs pressure dialled back deliberately. Maximum pressure on every line is how pipes get damaged.
We flush the debris out of the system instead of pushing it downstream. Moving a blockage ten feet along the line is not clearing it; it just relocates the problem somewhere less convenient.

Hitchcock questions
Can you tell what is wrong without digging?
In most cases, yes. A camera inspection through an accessible cleanout shows roots, grease, scale, a belly holding water or a break, and gives the distance from the access point. That is usually enough to decide what to do next.
What should I do while I wait?
Stop running water anywhere in the building — no toilets, taps, laundry or dishwasher. Every litre you add has to come out somewhere, and if the main is blocked that somewhere is your floor.
Do you work nights and weekends in Hitchcock?
Yes, the line is answered around the clock. Commercial and restaurant work is often scheduled deliberately overnight or before opening so the business does not have to close.
My drain was cabled recently and it is slow again. Why?
Because a cable opens a channel through the blockage and leaves the rest lining the pipe wall. The roots, grease or scale that caused it are still there, and they catch the next thing down the line. Jetting removes that material.
Is hydro jetting safe for older pipes?
It is when the pressure is matched to the pipe. Thin, heavily scaled cast iron, old Orangeburg and already-cracked clay need a conservative approach or a different method entirely. That is precisely why we camera the line before jetting rather than after.
Blocked drain in Hitchcock?
One call usually settles it. Say which fixtures are affected and whether anything is overflowing, and we will take it from there.
