K&R Mechanical Services announces a new guide to hydro jetting for commercial sewer lines, designed to help Houston facility managers and property owners recognize the warning signs that a drain needs more than routine snaking.

Houston, United States, October 9, 2026 /NewsNetwork/ -- Houston-based contractor K&R Mechanical Services has announced a new guide to hydro jetting for commercial sewer lines. Written for facility managers and property owners at restaurants, office buildings, medical facilities, and multi-tenant properties, it outlines seven signs that a drain needs more than a routine clearing.

The guide grew out of a pattern the company sees often: a line is snaked, flows for a few weeks, then slows again. It explains that a cable machine only bores through a blockage, while hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the full pipe wall.

Grease remains a major threat to commercial plumbing. The Environmental Protection Agency has identified grease from restaurants, homes, and industrial sources as the most common cause of reported sewer blockages, at 47%. The agency also estimates 23,000 to 75,000 sanitary sewer overflows occur nationwide each year.

Reflecting that risk, the guide gives commercial kitchens particular attention. It notes that even a well-maintained grease trap lets some residue past, gradually narrowing the pipe. When trap service is on schedule and kitchen lines remain sluggish, the guide points to buildup inside the pipe itself.

“A drain that keeps backing up is telling you something,” a K&R representative explains. “Snaking can buy time, but if the grease, scale, or roots inside the pipe stay there, the clog comes back. This guide is intended to help facility teams spot those signs before a slow drain becomes an emergency.”

Rather than recommending jetting every time, the guide advises a camera inspection first, particularly for older cast iron or clay lines. A camera can confirm the pipe is sound and show what is inside, while cracked, collapsed, or badly corroded sections may need a spot repair or re-piping instead, the team explains.
