High-pressure water jetting that clears sediment, roots and other obstructions from accessible stormwater and drainage pipes.
Outlet pipes below golf-course ponds in Flintrock and Rough Hollow tend to clog first, usually where a corrugated line necks down under a cart path or access road and loses the velocity to carry sediment through. Drainage pipe jetting in Lakeway clears those lines along with the inlet and cross-drain pipes feeding basins across The Hills, using high-pressure water to break up what gravity and slope have been pushing downhill for years.
Lakeway sits on limestone hillsides that drop fast toward Lake Travis, so runoff moves quickly and carries fine rock dust and clay with it. That sediment settles out wherever a pipe flattens or a bend slows the flow, and over a few seasons it narrows the opening enough that a normal rain event backs water up into a forebay instead of passing through. Add in live oak and cedar roots working into joints on older pipe runs near Flintrock, and a line that tested clear two years ago can be half-blocked now. The usual signs are a pond that drains slower than it used to, standing water around an outlet structure after the rest of the property has dried out, or a forebay silting in faster than the rest of the basin.
We walk the system with whoever is responsible for it, whether that is a property manager, an HOA board, or a developer closing out a site, and confirm which pipes are accessible and what is actually restricting flow before any equipment runs. Jetting clears the sediment, cuts out root intrusion, and restores flow the way the system was built to move it, with before and after checks so you know the line is open. On golf-course and lakeside properties we schedule around cart traffic, events and resident access rather than working around our own convenience.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your Lakeway property like our own, tidy crews, clear pricing, and drainage pipe jetting that holds up to Travis County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
We come out, locate the accessible pipe runs tied to your pond or basin, and check for the slow drawdown, standing water or forebay silt that usually points to a blockage. Estimates are free with no obligation, and we typically get on site within 48 hours of your call. You get a straightforward scope before any jetting starts.
It depends on the pipe grade and what is upstream, but golf-course and lakeside communities on the limestone slopes around Lakeway often need it every few years, sometimes sooner if there is exposed soil or construction runoff feeding the system. A slower drawdown after storms or a forebay filling in faster than normal are the usual triggers we get called out for.
Yes. On properties in Rough Hollow and Flintrock we schedule jetting around cart paths, tee times and resident traffic, and we coordinate access points with the HOA or property manager ahead of time. Most of the work happens at outlet structures and cleanouts away from main walkways, so normal activity on the property continues.
Runoff off these hillsides moves fast and carries fine limestone sediment that settles out wherever a pipe flattens or bends, which is why outlet lines below ponds clog before the rest of the system shows a problem. It also means a line can look fine in a dry spell and back up hard in the first real storm, so we check flow at outlets, not just at the pond surface.
Pipe length, diameter and how many bends or access points it has all factor in, along with how much sediment or root intrusion has built up and whether equipment can reach the pipe directly or needs to be staged farther out. A pipe with heavy root intrusion from nearby oaks or cedar takes longer than a straightforward sediment clear, and we account for that during the site walk.
