4.7from 108 Google reviews Sewer line cleaning in Houston

Roots and grease scoured off the pipe wall, not just a hole punched through.

A sewer line that gets cabled every few months is being cleared, not cleaned. Royal Flush Affordable Plumbing hydro jets the full diameter of the line, cutting roots back to the wall and stripping grease, so the next cleaning is years away rather than weeks.

  • $50 off drain and sewer cleaning
  • Hydro jetting for roots and grease
  • 24 hours, Sunday to Friday

Signs you need this

When a line needs cleaning, not just clearing.

Clearing cuts a channel through the blockage. Cleaning restores the full pipe.

Cabled before, slow again

The cable opened a channel and the lining closed in around it. The wall was never cleaned.

Roots on the camera

Fine roots re-grow from the same joint. Jetting cuts them back to the wall; cabling trims the middle.

A restaurant or busy kitchen upstream

Grease that has hardened on a sewer wall only comes off with pressure.

Gurgling with no full blockage

A narrowed line venting badly. The diameter is the problem, not a single clog.

It has never been cleaned

Older Houston lines that have served for decades carry decades of scale and grease.

Before a repair or lining

A liner needs a clean wall to bond to. Jetting is the first step of every trenchless job.

What we actually do

High-pressure water, the full diameter.

A jetting nozzle pulls itself through the line on rear-facing jets while forward jets cut through the blockage. The water scours the entire pipe wall, stripping grease, scale and roots and washing the debris to the main. There is no chemical, and nothing is left behind in the pipe.

We camera the line after jetting so you can see the result, and we point out any defect the cleaning uncovered. A clean line with a crack is still a line with a crack, and you should know about it.

  • Nozzles for the jobRoot-cutting, grease and general-purpose heads, chosen from what the camera shows.
  • Camera before and afterSo the decision to jet is based on what is in the line, and the result is visible.
  • Maintenance on a scheduleRestaurants and homes with mature trees benefit from a planned cleaning interval.
How we fix it

A sewer cleaning, start to finish.

Here is how a jetting visit goes.

Already blocked?

A fully blocked line is cleared with a cable first so the house drains, then jetted to clean the wall. Both happen in one visit.

Call 281-612-1015
  1. 1
    First

    Camera the line

    We look before we jet, so the nozzle and pressure match what is in the pipe.

  2. 2
    Before any work

    You get the price

    The cleaning is priced upfront. If the camera shows a defect that needs repair, that is a separate quote.

  3. 3
    Work

    Jet the full run

    From the cleanout toward the main, then back toward the house, until the water runs clear.

  4. 4
    Before we leave

    Camera again, test

    The cleaned line is inspected and every fixture is run to confirm flow.

What affects the price

What moves the price on sewer cleaning.

Upfront, before any work. These are the variables.

Length and diameter

A long run or a larger commercial line takes longer to jet.

What is on the wall

Light scale cleans quickly. Heavy roots or years of grease take more passes.

Access

An outside cleanout is quickest. Lines without one take longer to reach.

Maintenance interval

Planned cleanings on a schedule are simpler than emergency calls and priced accordingly.

The coupon

$50 off any drain or sewer cleaning. Mention it when you book and show it at the time of service.

Ask a plumber: 281-612-1015
01What is the difference between sewer cleaning and drain cleaning?
Drain cleaning usually means cabling a blocked line to restore flow. Sewer cleaning means hydro jetting the full pipe wall to remove the lining of grease, scale and roots that causes repeat blockages. One clears, the other cleans.
02Can hydro jetting damage old pipe?
We camera first for that reason. On sound cast iron, clay or PVC, jetting is safe and far gentler than a cutting cable. On a pipe that is already collapsing, we tell you, and the answer is repair rather than cleaning.
03How often should a sewer line be cleaned?
A line with mature trees over it or a busy kitchen upstream benefits from a planned interval. A sound line with nothing unusual going down it may never need it. The camera after a cleaning tells us which you have.
04Will you clean the line to the street?
Yes. We jet from the cleanout toward the city tap, then back toward the house, so the full run on your side of the connection is cleaned.
05Is there a coupon?
Yes. $50 off any drain or sewer cleaning service. Mention it when you book and show it at the time of service.
