High-pressure water jetting that clears sediment, roots and other obstructions from accessible stormwater and drainage pipes.
Pink granite does not break down into fine soil the way clay does further south. It shears off in sand and grit that washes straight into drainage pipes across Marble Falls, from the ranch roads around Horseshoe Bay to the newer sections of Gregg Ranch. That grit settles in low spots and bends inside the pipe, and once enough of it collects, water backs up at the inlet long before anyone notices a problem at the outlet. Drainage pipe jetting is how we clear that buildup before it turns into standing water or a washed-out culvert.
On Lake LBJ and Lake Marble Falls properties, the rainfall pattern here is feast or famine, long dry stretches broken by hard, fast storms off the Hill Country. Pipes that sit dry for weeks get hit all at once, and that is when sediment that has been inching toward a bend finally plugs it. We see it most in Meadowlakes cul-de-sacs where granite fines collect at grade changes, and in older Horseshoe Bay sections where live oak and cedar roots have worked into joints laid decades ago. A slow-draining inlet or a gurgling catch basin after a storm is usually the first sign the line underneath is already half closed.
We start with a site walk to find every accessible pipe run and inlet on the property, then jet each line to cut roots, break up sediment, and push the debris out where it can be removed. You get a straightforward look at what we found going in and what the flow looks like coming out, so your board or ownership group knows the system is actually moving water again, not just that a truck showed up. Estimates are free and we are usually on site within 48 hours of your call.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your Marble Falls property like our own, tidy crews, clear pricing, and drainage pipe jetting that holds up to Burnet County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
We walk the property with whoever manages the stormwater system, locate every accessible pipe, inlet, and outlet, and note where flow looks slow or where debris is visible at the surface. From that walk we give you a free, no-obligation estimate, usually within 48 hours of your call. For HOA or POA boards, we are glad to meet with a board member or the community association manager directly rather than relying on secondhand notes.
It depends on tree cover and how much granite grit washes in, but many properties here need it every one to three years, sooner if you have mature oaks near the lines or a lot of exposed granite upslope. A good trigger is standing water at an inlet after a normal rain, a slow-draining low point, or gurgling in a catch basin. Waiting until a pipe is fully blocked usually costs more than catching it early.
Most jetting happens at inlets, cleanouts, or accessible pipe ends, so we rarely need to shut down parking areas or disrupt tenants for more than the time it takes to work one section. We coordinate timing with your property manager or on-site staff ahead of the visit, and for retail centers or apartment communities we can plan around peak traffic hours when that matters to your operation.
Pink granite breaks down into coarse sand that settles fast in low points and bends, which is different from the clay silt we see elsewhere along the corridor. It tends to pack tighter and takes more passes to fully clear, especially in older pipe runs around Horseshoe Bay where joints have shifted over time. We account for that when we scope the job so the estimate matches what the pipe actually needs.
Pipe length, diameter, and how many inlets or access points we can reach all factor in, along with how much sediment or root intrusion we find once jetting starts. A property with several short, accessible runs is usually quicker than one with long lines between a handful of inlets. We confirm scope during the site walk so the estimate reflects your specific system, not a flat per-foot guess.
