Service

Sewer & Storm Line Cleaning in Austin & Central Texas

High-pressure jetting removes sediment, dirt, grease, roots, concrete residue and construction debris from sanitary sewer and storm drainage systems. Cleaning can be completed before CCTV inspection, as part of preventive maintenance or to restore flow to an obstructed line - often paired with our vacuum trucks so debris is loosened, removed and disposed of in a single mobilization.

Why contractors choose this service

  • ✓Restores full pipe diameter - mechanical snaking only bores a hole
  • ✓Cuts through grease, tree roots, sludge, sediment, concrete residue and mineral scale
  • ✓Combined with vacuum service so material is removed, not left downstream
  • ✓Prepares lines for clear CCTV inspection and NASSCO documentation
  • ✓Preventive maintenance reduces backup risk and municipal call-outs

Common use cases

  • →Construction debris and concrete residue removal from newly installed lines
  • →Commercial and municipal preventive maintenance programs
  • →Recurring grease line blockages in restaurants and food service
  • →Root intrusion in aging municipal and commercial sewer mains
  • →Storm drain cleaning after heavy debris events
  • →Line prep before CCTV inspection or rehabilitation

On-site workflow

Our process

  1. 01

    Assess the line

    We confirm cleanouts, line size, material and blockage type to select the correct pressure and nozzle.

  2. 02

    Jet & vacuum

    Our jetter flushes the line while our vac truck removes loosened debris so nothing is left to cause a downstream issue.

  3. 03

    Verify with CCTV

    A follow-up camera run confirms the line is clear and documents any underlying pipe damage for the project record.

Line Cleaning FAQ

Frequently asked

Will jetting damage older pipes?

Not when it's operated by a trained crew. Pressure and nozzle selection are matched to the pipe material and condition - clay, cast iron, ductile and PVC lines all get different settings.

How is this different from snaking?

A snake bores a small hole through a blockage. Jetting scours the full inside diameter of the pipe so grease, roots and sediment don't rebuild in weeks - it's a real clean, not a temporary fix.

Do you clean construction debris after installation?

Yes. Post-installation cleaning of newly installed sewer and storm lines is a routine part of getting a new system to acceptance - we clean, then verify with CCTV.

What pressures and flow rates do your jetters run?

Our commercial jetting rigs run the pressure and flow needed to clean mainline sewer and storm - high-flow, high-pressure setups for grease and roots, lower-pressure for fragile older pipe. Nozzles are matched to the blockage: chain flails for roots, warthogs for scale, penetrating for grease.

Do you jet grease traps and restaurant lines?

Yes - recurring restaurant and food-service jetting is one of our steadiest programs. Monthly, quarterly or on-demand schedules keep grease lines flowing between pump-outs and prevent the emergency call at 8 p.m. on a Saturday.

Can jetting clear tree roots long-term?

Jetting with a root-cutter nozzle restores the line immediately. Long-term, roots regrow - an annual jetting schedule keeps the line clear, and a follow-up CCTV inspection tells you whether the pipe itself needs a spot repair or a full replacement.

Do you vacuum out the debris or leave it downstream?

We vacuum. Jetting without a vac truck just moves the blockage down the line where it re-forms in a manhole or a lift station. Our crews jet and vac on the same mobilization so the debris actually leaves the system.

How much does sewer or storm jetting cost?

Priced by footage, line diameter, blockage severity and material to remove. Bundled pricing is available when jetting is paired with pre- and post-CCTV inspection. Send access details and we'll quote it firm.

Can you show a documented line cleaning job with measurable results?

Yes. Our Austin job "Grease-choked 6-inch main serving a downtown Austin food hall" is published in full at /case-studies/austin-downtown-grease-main, including line restored to 100 pct diameter, work window overnight, tenants disrupted 0, the PACP codes we logged, and before and after camera stills. Hydro-jetted back to full diameter overnight, with a verification scope run before the first tenant opened.

How do I know your line cleaning findings will hold up with an owner or reviewer?

Every observation is coded to NASSCO PACP standards and delivered with the HD video, footage marks, and a written summary, so the owner's rep, engineer, or municipal reviewer can check the call against the footage instead of taking our word for it. NASSCO/PACP certified operators, 25+ years in Central Texas pipe work, and full commercial and municipal insurance with COIs issued the same day.

What do commercial clients say about your line cleaning work?

The reviews on this page come from general contractors, property managers, and municipal staff who hired us for line cleaning, averaging 5.0 out of 5 across 16 published reviews. Each one names the role and the type of job so you can judge whether it matches your site.

Do you provide line cleaning in Austin and the surrounding cities?

Yes. Sewer & Storm Line Cleaning is one of our core commercial services across Austin and the metro, including Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Pflugerville, Leander. We run out of Cedar Park and cover roughly a 100 mile radius of Austin, so crews reach most Travis, Williamson, and Hays County sites the same week and often the same day for emergencies.

How fast can a line cleaning crew mobilize to an Austin site?

Most Austin jobs are scheduled within one to three business days, with emergency mobilization available for active backups or shutdowns. Austin is about 20 miles from our yard, and neighboring cities such as Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park are typically same-day reachable. Call (737) 618-0219 and we will confirm a window before you commit.

Can you handle traffic control and permits for line cleaning in Austin rights-of-way?

Yes. For work in Austin streets, alleys, and public easements we coordinate traffic control, provide certificates of insurance, and document the work so the City reviewer, the GC, or the owner's engineer can accept it. The same process applies in Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown and other Central Texas jurisdictions we work in weekly.

Will your line cleaning reports be accepted by Central Texas municipalities?

Yes. Deliverables are NASSCO PACP coded with HD video, footage marks, still images, and a written summary, which is the format Austin area public works departments, engineers, and general contractors expect. We have delivered accepted reports across Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Pflugerville and the wider Central Texas market.
