Hydro jetting is the deepest clean a drain can get: high-pressure water scours grease, scale, soap, and roots off the entire inner wall of the pipe, restoring near-original diameter. For Manor lines narrowed by notoriously hard Edwards-aquifer water that scales everything it touches, it’s often the only method that truly resets the line.
Jetting isn’t for every pipe — fragile, collapsed, or badly corroded lines need a different approach, which is why the camera goes in first. When the line qualifies, nothing cleans like it. Ask about jetting at (833) 834-1087.
How drain cleaning works
Cable augering and hydro jetting do different jobs, and knowing which one your line needs is the whole trade. An auger punches through and retrieves obstructions — ideal for a discrete clog in a branch line. A jetter scours the entire pipe circumference with high-pressure water, peeling off grease, scale, and root masses that an auger would just poke a hole through.
For lines that clog again and again, jetting is usually the answer snaking never was, because it removes the buildup the clog was anchoring to. We camera-verify after every jetting job — you see the clean pipe wall on the monitor before we pack up.

Austin-Central Texas: how local conditions shape drain cleaning
Understanding Manor drain trouble starts with the Austin-Central Texas conditions working on every pipe underground:
Flash-flood deluges are the local drain stress test. When inches of rain fall in hours, every partial blockage — grease, scale, roots — becomes a full backup at the worst possible moment. Lines that behave in dry weather reveal their compromises exactly when the system is drowning, which is why post-storm clearing often finds the blockage predated the storm by months.
What affects the cost of drain cleaning in Manor
Three things set the price: the blockage type, the method it demands, and the access. Hair and soap near a fixture clear quickly; congealed grease through a long kitchen run wants the jetter; root masses in the lateral want cutting plus camera documentation. Each step up in method is a step up in price, and you’ll know which one you need before approving.
What doesn’t change the price is us finding something unexpected mid-job — the camera goes in first precisely so there are no mid-job surprises. The quote you approve is the price you pay.
Common questions
What should I never put down my drains?
Grease and cooking oil, coffee grounds, fibrous foods, wipes labeled flushable, and chemical cleaners. Grease is the number-one killer of kitchen lines — it congeals downstream where you cannot reach it.
Do I need a cleanout installed?
If your line has no accessible cleanout, servicing it means pulling a toilet or cutting in — slower and pricier every time. Installing a cleanout pays for itself on the first proper cleaning.
Why do my drains smell?
Usually biofilm and decaying buildup coating the pipe walls, or a dry trap letting sewer gas in. Jetting removes the coating; running unused fixtures restores trap seals. Persistent odor deserves a camera look.
Can you clear a main sewer line without digging?
Clearing, yes — augering, root cutting, and jetting are all trenchless. Digging only enters the picture if the camera shows the pipe itself is broken, and even then trenchless repair options often exist.
Why do my drains back up only when it rains hard?
Deluges expose partial blockages that dry-weather flow tolerates. The storm is the trigger; the blockage is the cause — and the camera will show which one you own.
Our new house drains slowly — is that normal?
No. Young lines should flow freely; chronic slowness usually means a construction defect like a belly or debris. A camera inspection documents it for the builder.

Other services in Manor.
Emergency Plumbing
Emergency plumbing is immediate response to water damage in progress — burst pipes, major leaks, sewage backups, and total water loss. You reach a live dispatcher who triages the situation on the call and routes a stocked truck immediately, so the water stops as fast as possible.
Water Heater Installation & Repair
A water heater supplies hot water to every faucet, shower, and appliance in your home — tank models store it, tankless models heat it on demand. We repair failed burners, thermostats, and heating elements, and size replacements to your household’s actual hot-water demand so the showers stay hot.
Leak & Slab Detection
Leak detection finds hidden water leaks inside walls, ceilings, or under the slab without demolition. We use acoustic listening and inspection cameras to pinpoint the leak, then recommend the least invasive permanent fix — a spot repair, a reroute, or a repipe.
Sewer Line Services
A sewer line carries all wastewater from your home to the city main, so a failure here backs up every drain at once. We inspect with an HD camera first, then clear root intrusion or repair damaged sections — replacing the line only when the pipe itself is truly done.
Whole-Home Repiping
Repiping replaces every water supply line in the home at once, ending the cycle of one leak after another. We install new PEX or copper pipe through minimal wall openings, pressure-test the system, and leave it up to current code.
Gas Line Services
Gas lines feed stoves, water heaters, dryers, and grills — and any work on them has to be exact. We repair damaged sections, extend lines for new appliances, and set new appliance hookups, pressure-testing every joint before the job is signed off.
Water Treatment & Filtration
Water treatment conditions your supply water so mineral hardness and contaminants stop damaging fixtures, appliances, and the water heater. We test your water first, then install whole-home softeners and filtration matched to what the test shows.
