Here’s the fix that actually lasts.
Hydrojetting is the only drain cleaning method that removes the buildup — not just pokes a hole through it. Here’s exactly what Howze Plumbing does, why it works, and how homeowners know if they need it.

Preventive maintenance jetting
The honest truth about what’s in your pipes.
Most “slow drain” calls turn out to be the same thing — not a simple clog, but years of built-up grease, soap scum, and tree roots lining the pipe wall. A drain snake punches a hole through it and buys a few weeks. Hydrojetting scours the pipe clean with pressure-controlled equipment—our process uses up to 2,500 PSI, carefully calibrated to protect all pipe materials including PVC. That’s the difference between a temporary fix and actually solving the problem.
“Howze Plumbing would rather give homeowners an honest assessment than sell a snake job that brings them right back in six weeks.”

DO YOU NEED IT?
Signs your drains are telling you it’s time
Hydrojetting isn’t always necessary — sometimes a standard cleanout does the job. But these are the warning signs Howze Plumbing looks for when diagnosing a drain problem:
Recurring slow drains
Same drain, same problem every 2–3 months? That’s buildup, not a one-time clog.
Sewer smell indoors
Odors rising from drains often mean standing debris in the line — not just a dry P-trap.
Older home (pre-1990)
Cast iron pipes in older DFW homes accumulate scale over decades. Jetting restores flow without pipe replacement.
Big trees in the yard
DFW’s clay soil pushes roots toward sewer lines. Live oaks, pecans, and elms are the usual suspects.
Gurgling toilets
Air trapped by a partial blockage downstream. Multiple fixtures gurgling points to the main line.
Multiple slow drains at once
Kitchen and bathrooms slowing together isn’t coincidence — it’s the main sewer line.
Any of this sound familiar? Call Howze Plumbing at 817-305-8600 today.
THE DFW DIFFERENCE
Why North Texas homes need hydrojetting more than most
DFW’s expansive clay soil shifts constantly with the region’s drought-flood cycles — some of the most active soil in the country. That movement puts lateral stress on sewer lines, creating micro-cracks that tree roots exploit. Cities in North Texas have abundant mature landscaping — beautiful for curb appeal, hard on sewer lines.
The area also deals with hard water. Mineral content in DFW’s water supply is high enough that calcium and magnesium deposits build inside pipes over time, gradually narrowing flow diameter until one day the kitchen sink backs up with no obvious cause.
Howze Plumbing has jetted sewer lines across neighborhoods from Alliance to Mansfield. The homes that stay ahead of this problem with periodic maintenance consistently avoid the far more expensive emergency calls that come from ignoring it.
HOW IT WORKS
What happens when Howze Plumbing shows up
1. Camera inspection first
Before any work begins, Howze Plumbing runs a camera down the line. Homeowners can see exactly what’s in there — grease, scale, roots, or a structural issue — so the right solution gets matched to the actual problem.
2. Access the cleanout
The cleanout access point is located — typically near the foundation or in the yard — and the hydro jetting hose is introduced. No digging. No disruption to landscaping.
3. High-pressure flush
A specialized nozzle travels through the line at up to 2,500 PSI, spraying forward to cut and backward to flush debris out of the pipe. Grease, sludge, scale, and buildup are washed out while the interior of the home stays undisturbed.
4. Post-jetting camera check
The camera runs again so homeowners can see the difference themselves. Clean pipe walls. Improved flow. Visible results — not just a plumber saying the line is clear.
5. Honest next steps
If the camera reveals a crack, persistent root intrusion, or a damaged section of pipe, Howze Plumbing walks homeowners through the footage and explains the condition of the line, available repair options, and what to expect moving forward — without pressure or unnecessary upsells.

HONEST COMPARISON
Why snaking isn’t always enough
Drain snake only
✖ Pokes a hole, doesn’t clean
✖ Leaves grease and scale behind
✖ Roots grow back within months
✖ Lower upfront, higher annual cost
✖ No visibility into the pipe
Hydrojetting
✔ Scrubs the full pipe wall
✔ Removes grease, scale, and roots
✔ Results last 1–5 years typically
✔ Lower cost per year over time
✔ Camera provides visible proof
To be fair: a simple, one-time clog with no recurring history may only need snaking, and Howze Plumbing will say so. The goal is to recommend the right service — not the most expensive one.
COMMON QUESTIONS
What Homeowners Ask Most About Hydrojetting
Will hydro jetting damage the pipes?
Not if the pipes are in reasonable condition — which is exactly why Howze Plumbing camera-inspects the line first. Pipes with severe corrosion, collapses, or existing structural damage may not be good candidates for hydro jetting. If the line can’t safely handle the pressure, homeowners are told before any work begins. Modern PVC and structurally sound cast iron pipes typically handle the process without issue.
How much does hydro jetting cost in Keller and across DFW area?
Hydro jetting costs vary based on factors like line length, severity of buildup, accessibility, and what the camera inspection reveals. Howze Plumbing provides upfront pricing before work starts so homeowners know exactly what to expect.
How long does hydro jetting take?
Most hydro jetting services are completed within 1.5 to 3 hours. Larger sewer systems, heavy buildup, or additional inspection findings can extend the process. In most cases, drains are fully usable again the same day.
How often should hydro jetting be done?
For homes with older sewer systems, mature trees, or recurring grease and sludge buildup, hydro jetting every 18–24 months can help reduce future blockages. Homes without recurring drain issues may only need the service when problems develop.
Does hydro jetting completely remove grease and sludge buildup?
Hydro jetting is one of the most effective ways to remove grease, sludge, soap residue, mineral scale, and debris from the inside walls of drain and sewer pipes. Unlike basic snaking, it cleans much more of the pipe interior instead of only opening a temporary path through the blockage.
Can hydro jetting remove tree roots?
Yes. Hydro jetting can cut through many smaller root intrusions and flush debris from the line. However, severe root intrusion or damaged sewer pipes may still require repair or replacement depending on the condition of the system.
Does the homeowner need to be present during the service?
Yes. Access to the cleanout and plumbing system is usually needed, and the Howze Plumbing team walks homeowners through the camera inspection findings and explains the condition of the line before the job is completed.
What are signs I may need hydro jetting instead of standard drain cleaning?
Recurring clogs, multiple slow drains, foul sewer odors, backups that keep returning after snaking, or heavy grease buildup are all common signs that hydro jetting may be a better long-term solution.
Can hydro jetting help prevent future sewer backups?
Yes. By removing heavy buildup, sludge, grease, and debris from inside the line, hydro jetting can improve drainage flow and help reduce the likelihood of recurring backups and sewer blockages.
Why do homes in Dallas/Fort Worth commonly need hydro jetting?
Many North Texas homes deal with grease buildup, hard water scale, aging sewer systems, shifting clay soil, and mature tree roots near underground plumbing lines. Over time, these conditions can restrict flow and create recurring drain and sewer problems that hydro jetting is designed to address.
