Jetting uses pressurized water to work on deposits inside a pipe. It can be an option for grease, sludge and other buildup, but the pipe must be suitable for the method. For residential and commercial properties around Lubbock and Smyer, Duckies evaluates the obstruction, pipe condition and entry point before recommending sewer pipe jetting.
Open 24/7. Family owned. Licensed and insured.
A jetting system sends water through a hose and nozzle introduced at a suitable cleanout. The choice of approach depends on what is restricting the pipe and what that pipe can tolerate. Known damage, its material and available access all matter; more pressure is not automatically the answer.
Confirm what the visit covers. We explain the proposed jetting work, price and timing before starting. A camera inspection, pump-out, excavation or repair is a separate decision, and additional work requires your approval.
Was the line already cleared with an auger? Did a camera show deposits or damaged joints? Tell us what was done and how long the improvement lasted. That history helps determine whether a different cleaning method deserves consideration.
We review access, pipe material and condition before selecting the approach. Pressure and method depend on those findings; older or damaged pipes may require another approach. Any further camera assessment is discussed separately.
When the line is suitable, pressurized water is used on the material restricting it. The work is directed at buildup within the pipe. It cannot restore a collapsed section or close a crack, even if some obstructing material can be removed.
We explain the result and any remaining concerns. A follow-up camera inspection may be recommended to assess clearing or look for cracks, separated joints or collapse. Further inspection and repairs are discussed and approved separately.
The useful question is not simply whether a line is blocked, but whether water jetting fits the cause and the condition of that line. These are three concerns to raise before choosing the method.
A line that blocks again after clearing may still contain buildup or have an underlying defect. Describe the previous method and any inspection findings so jetting can be weighed against further diagnosis or repair.
Grease, sludge, soap residue and mineral deposits can collect inside sewer or septic pipes. Ask whether high-pressure water cleaning is suitable for the material and condition of your line.
Roots can contribute to a blockage, but clearing them does not repair a cracked or damaged pipe. Discuss an assessment and the options for both clearing and any underlying damage.
Call (806) 702-1905 to confirm service availability for your address.
Unknown pipe condition can change the cleaning recommendation. A camera can show accessible sections before jetting is chosen or help investigate concerns afterward.
A tank pump-out and cleaning the connecting line are different jobs. Discuss pumping separately if it is needed.
When the line is damaged, discuss the repair options, price and timing before additional work.

Jetting uses pressurized water through a hose and nozzle to work on buildup inside sewer or septic pipes. It can be considered for grease, sludge, soap or mineral deposits and some root-related obstructions when the line’s condition and access make it suitable.
That depends on the pipe and the problem. Tell us about known damage, past repairs or inspection findings. Further assessment may be needed before choosing a cleaning method; we do not assume that every line is suitable for jetting.
Jetting may help clear a root-related obstruction where suitable. It does not repair the crack or joint through which roots entered. We explain whether additional inspection or repairs should be considered for your line.
A camera inspection is a separate service unless it is specifically included in your agreed scope. We discuss any recommended inspection, its price and timing before proceeding. Ask about available findings or documentation when scheduling.
No. Pumping removes material from the tank; jetting addresses suitable buildup inside a pipe. A property may need one service, both or a different repair. We explain the recommended work and obtain your approval for any additional service.
Timing depends on access, the line’s condition and the blockage. We discuss the expected scope and scheduling when arranging service. Further inspection, excavation or repairs may require separate work and timing.
Jetting is considered when a blockage or inspection findings indicate a need. If buildup keeps returning, ask whether a future service interval is appropriate for your line.
Share the property address, the previous clearing method and any known pipe material or camera findings. This gives us a useful starting point for discussing jetting. Call (806) 702-1905 to confirm availability or to report an active backup.
After-hours emergency calls are welcome. Arrival timing depends on location and availability.
We’ll contact you to discuss your request and scheduling. For urgent service, please call.
