Hydro jetting in Selma, Texas
Serving Selma and the surrounding Bexar County area with hydro jetting for sewer mains, branch drains, commercial buildings and kitchens. We answer the phone at any hour, because a blocked main does not keep business hours.
Why drain lines fail in Selma
Two things drive drain failure around Selma: very hard water that scales the inside of the pipe, and soil movement that works sewer joints apart and lets roots in. Both are gradual, which is why the line usually slows for months before it blocks.
Jetting takes the scale and root material off the wall and restores the diameter the pipe was installed with. The inspection afterwards is what tells you how long that is likely to last.
We cover Selma as a whole, whether you are by Retama Park or out on the Bexar County roads past the edge of the built-up area.

Signs your line needs cleaning
If you recognise more than one of these, the problem is probably the line rather than the fixture you noticed first.
- 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 Selma job runs
From the first call to the final camera pass, this is the process on every Selma 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 Selma customers call us
We do not quote a price before seeing the line. What the job costs depends on the length and diameter of the run, whether there is an accessible cleanout and what is actually in the pipe. A number given over the phone before any of that is known is a guess.
We inspect the line before cleaning it rather than afterwards. That is the difference between knowing what you are dealing with and guessing, and it is why we can tell you when jetting is the wrong answer.
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.

Selma questions
How often should a line be jetted?
It depends entirely on why it clogs. A line with active root intrusion may need annual service; a busy restaurant grease line is often quarterly; a clean line with no root pressure may never need it again. The inspection is what tells you which you have.
Do you cover Selma?
Yes. We cover Selma and the surrounding Bexar County area, including addresses outside the built-up part of town. If you are not certain your address qualifies, call and we will confirm it in a moment.
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.
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.
Will jetting fix a broken pipe?
No. Jetting cleans pipe; it cannot repair a collapsed section, a badly offset joint or a line that has fallen and holds water. If the camera shows one of those, we will tell you, even though cleaning is what we sell.
