Why Drain Cleaning Matters – From the Experts at SewerTV Hydro Jetting and Plumbing in San Antonio, TX

At SewerTV Hydro Jetting and Plumbing, we’ve seen firsthand what happens when a simple clogged drain turns into a full-blown plumbing disaster. That’s why we’re big believers in proactive drain cleaning—not just when something backs up, but as part of smart home maintenance. Whether you’re dealing with a slow sink, a gurgling shower, or a full-on backup, here’s what you need to know from the people who tackle this stuff every day.

The Dirty Truth Behind Clogged Drains

Drains are the unsung heroes of your plumbing system. They quietly carry away wastewater from your sinks, tubs, and toilets… until they don’t. Over time, grease, hair, soap scum, food particles, and even small tree roots can build up inside your pipes. And once that buildup starts, the clogs tend to come back faster and worse every time.

Here in San Antonio, the hard water and clay-heavy soil only add to the problem. We see it all—from kitchen lines that have never been cleaned, to main sewer lines completely blocked by roots or debris.

That’s where professional drain cleaning makes all the difference. Check out this DIY video...

Why Professional Drain Cleaning Beats DIY Every Time

You’ve probably seen the quick-fix drain cleaners at the store. Some of them can clear minor buildup, but most are harsh on your pipes and only offer temporary relief. Snakes and augers are another common DIY tool, but they usually just punch a small hole through the clog without actually removing it.

At SewerTV, we use specialized hydro jetting equipment to clean your drains completely. That means pressurized water scours the entire pipe wall—removing everything from grease buildup to intruding roots. It’s fast, effective, and far more thorough than traditional methods.

And before we even start the jetting process, we inspect your line with a high-definition sewer camera. That lets us see exactly what’s going on and confirm the pipe is in good shape to handle the pressure. No guessing. No surprises.
