Professional Hydro Jetting Services

What Happens When Your Drains Work Right

You stop dealing with the same clogged drain every few months. Water flows fast again – no more standing in ankle-deep shower water or waiting for the kitchen sink to empty.

Your garbage disposal actually works like it should. The bathroom sinks drain instantly instead of that slow gurgle you’ve gotten used to.

Most importantly, you don’t wake up to sewage backing up into your basement or bathroom. Hydro jetting clears the entire line – not just punches a hole through the blockage like snaking does. That means the problem is actually solved, not just temporarily moved around.

Hydro Jetting Drain Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your drain line with a camera to see exactly what we’re dealing with. Tree roots, grease buildup, mineral deposits – we need to know what’s causing the problem before we start.

Then we insert a specialized nozzle that shoots high-pressure water streams in all directions. This isn’t your garden hose – we’re talking about water pressure that can cut through decades of buildup and even slice through tree roots.

The water pressure scours the entire pipe clean, not just the center. Everything gets flushed out – grease, soap scum, hair, food particles, even small tree roots. What you’re left with is a pipe that’s essentially like new on the inside.

Sewer Hydro Jetting Arlington Heights

What's Included in Our Hydro Jetting Service

We start every hydro jetting job with a camera inspection so you can see exactly what’s happening in your pipes. No guessing, no assumptions – you’ll know why your drains have been acting up.

The actual hydro jetting process clears your entire drain line from your house to the street connection. We’re not just hitting the problem spot – we’re cleaning the whole system so issues don’t pop up somewhere else next month.

After we’re done, we run the camera through again so you can see the difference. Most customers are shocked at how much buildup was actually in their pipes and how clean everything looks afterward.

The bathroom setting includes tiled walls and floor, highlighting professional plumbing techniques for resolving toilet clogs.
Most residential hydro jetting jobs take 2-4 hours from start to finish, including the initial camera inspection and final verification. The actual jetting process is usually 30-60 minutes, but we take time to properly assess your pipes first and confirm everything is working correctly afterward. More complex situations like multiple blockages or extensive root intrusion might take longer, but we’ll give you a realistic timeframe upfront so you can plan your day accordingly.
Professional hydro jetting is safe for most pipe materials when done correctly, but this is exactly why we always start with a camera inspection. We need to see the condition of your pipes before we begin – if there are cracks, breaks, or severely deteriorated sections, we’ll spot them first and recommend the right approach. Our equipment allows us to adjust water pressure based on your specific pipe material and condition. Cast iron, PVC, clay, and most other residential pipes handle hydro jetting just fine when the pressure is properly calibrated.
Hydro jetting typically costs more upfront than traditional snaking – usually 2-3 times more – but it’s often cheaper in the long run because it actually solves the problem. Snaking just pokes a hole through blockages, so you’ll likely need service again in a few months. Hydro jetting removes the entire buildup, so most customers don’t need drain cleaning again for years. When you factor in multiple service calls, emergency fees, and the hassle of repeated problems, hydro jetting usually saves money over time.
Hydro jetting can handle almost any blockage that builds up over time – grease, soap scum, hair, food particles, mineral deposits, and even small to medium tree roots. It’s particularly effective on the stubborn buildup that coats pipe walls and causes recurring slow drains. The high-pressure water streams cut through years of accumulated debris that snaking can’t touch. However, hydro jetting won’t fix broken pipes, collapsed sections, or remove large objects that have been flushed down drains. That’s why we always inspect first.
Most residential properties benefit from hydro jetting every 3-5 years as preventive maintenance, but it really depends on your specific situation. Homes with large families, garbage disposals that get heavy use, or mature trees near sewer lines might need it more frequently. If you’re currently dealing with recurring clogs every few months, hydro jetting will likely give you several years of trouble-free drainage. We’ll give you a realistic timeline based on what we see during the camera inspection and your household’s usage patterns.
Yes, we provide hydro jetting services year-round in Arlington Heights, including during winter months. Cold weather doesn’t affect the effectiveness of the process since we’re working inside your pipes where temperatures are more stable. However, extremely cold conditions can present some logistical challenges with equipment setup and water handling. We take extra precautions during winter jobs to protect your property and ensure everything works properly. Emergency drain backups don’t wait for good weather, so neither do we.
