What Happens When Drains Actually Work

Your drains flow like they’re supposed to. No more standing water in the basement after heavy rains. No more that smell coming from the floor drain that makes you avoid the laundry room.

The difference is immediate. Water disappears down drains instead of backing up into your sink or tub. Your washing machine empties completely without leaving sudsy water behind.

Most importantly, you’re not dealing with the same clog again in two weeks. Hydro jetting removes the buildup that keeps causing problems – grease, soap scum, hair, and debris that traditional drain cleaning just pushes around. When tree roots have invaded your sewer line, high-pressure water cutting removes them completely rather than just poking holes through them.

Hydro Jet Drain Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your drain with a video camera to see exactly what we’re dealing with. Tree roots look different from grease buildup, and the cleaning approach changes based on what’s blocking your pipes.

Next, we insert the hydro jetting hose through a cleanout or drain opening. The specialized nozzle shoots high-pressure water in multiple directions – forward to break through blockages and backward to flush debris toward the main line.

The water pressure ranges from 1,500 to 4,000 PSI depending on your pipe material and the type of blockage. We start with lower pressure for older pipes and increase as needed. The process removes everything from soap scum and hair to tree roots and mineral deposits.

After cleaning, we run the camera through again to confirm the blockage is completely gone and check for any pipe damage that needs attention.

What's Included in Our Service

Every hydro jetting service includes video inspection before and after cleaning. You see exactly what was blocking your drain and confirm it’s completely removed. No guessing whether the job is actually done.

We bring multiple nozzle types for different situations. Penetrating nozzles break through tough blockages. Flushing nozzles remove loose debris. Root-cutting nozzles handle tree intrusion in sewer lines.

Our equipment handles residential drains from 2 inches to main sewer lines up to 12 inches. We clean kitchen drains clogged with grease, bathroom drains full of hair and soap buildup, and floor drains that haven’t worked properly in years.

Aurora’s older homes often have pipes that need careful handling. We adjust water pressure based on your pipe material and age to clean effectively without causing damage.

Hydro jetting typically costs between $350-$600 for residential drains, depending on the severity of the blockage and accessibility of your pipes. Main sewer line cleaning ranges from $500-$800. The price includes video inspection before and after cleaning, so you know exactly what was removed. Most customers find hydro jetting costs less than repeated drain cleaning service calls, since it prevents blockages from returning for months or years. We provide upfront pricing after inspecting your specific situation.
Professional hydro jetting is safe for most pipe materials when done correctly. We start with lower water pressure and gradually increase based on your pipe type and condition. The video inspection shows us the pipe condition before we begin, so we can adjust our approach accordingly. Modern hydro jetting equipment allows precise pressure control – we use 1,500-2,000 PSI for older pipes and up to 4,000 PSI for newer, stronger materials. If your pipes are severely deteriorated, we’ll recommend repair before cleaning to prevent damage.
Most residential hydro jetting jobs take 1-3 hours, including video inspection and cleaning. Simple kitchen or bathroom drain cleaning usually takes about an hour. Main sewer line cleaning with heavy root intrusion can take 2-3 hours. The process involves setting up equipment, running the initial camera inspection, performing the hydro jetting, and doing a final inspection to confirm complete removal. We don’t rush the job – it’s better to spend the time doing it right than having to come back for the same problem.
Most residential properties need hydro jetting every 18-24 months for preventive maintenance, but it depends on your usage and pipe conditions. Homes with large families or frequent cooking may need annual cleaning due to increased grease and debris buildup. Properties with tree roots in the sewer line often need cleaning every 12-18 months. Commercial properties typically require more frequent service – every 6-12 months depending on the business type. We’ll recommend a maintenance schedule based on what we find during your initial cleaning and inspection.
Yes, hydro jetting effectively removes tree roots from sewer lines using specialized root-cutting nozzles. The high-pressure water cuts through roots and flushes them out of the pipe completely, rather than just creating holes like traditional rooter service. However, hydro jetting doesn’t prevent roots from growing back – it’s a maintenance solution that needs to be repeated as roots regrow. For permanent solutions, you may need pipe lining or replacement in areas with heavy root intrusion. We’ll show you the root damage on camera and discuss long-term options.
Regular drain cleaning with a snake or auger pokes holes through blockages or pulls out some debris, but often leaves buildup on pipe walls that causes clogs to return quickly. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to completely remove all debris, grease, soap scum, and mineral deposits from pipe walls, restoring full flow capacity. The results last much longer – months or years instead of weeks. Hydro jetting also cleans the entire pipe diameter, not just a small path through the center. For severe blockages like tree roots or decades of grease buildup, hydro jetting is often the only effective solution.
