What You Get After We're Done

Your drains flow like new again. Water goes down fast, stays down, and doesn’t come back up where it shouldn’t.

The difference isn’t just immediate—it lasts. While traditional snaking pokes holes through blockages, hydro jetting strips away years of buildup from your pipe walls. Grease, soap scum, mineral deposits, and debris get completely removed, not just pushed around.

You’ll notice the change right away when you run water. No more slow drainage, no more gurgling sounds, no more holding your breath wondering if the basement floor drain will overflow again. Your plumbing system works the way it’s supposed to work.

Bartlett Hydro Jet Plumbing

We Know Bartlett's Plumbing Challenges

We’ve been handling drain and sewer issues throughout Bartlett and Cook County for years. We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t when it comes to clearing stubborn blockages.

Our team invested in professional-grade hydro jetting equipment because we got tired of telling customers their problems would “probably come back in a few months.” We’d rather solve the issue right the first time.

We’re licensed, insured, and focused on giving you results that last. When you call us, you’re getting plumbers who understand both the technology and the local plumbing challenges that come with Bartlett’s mix of newer developments and established neighborhoods.

Hydro Jetting Drain Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your pipes with a camera to see what we’re dealing with and make sure hydro jetting is the right approach. This tells us where the blockages are and what’s causing them.

Next, we insert a specialized hose with a high-pressure nozzle into your drain or sewer line. The nozzle shoots water in multiple directions at pressures up to 4,000 PSI—strong enough to cut through grease, roots, and mineral buildup, but safe for your pipes.

The water pressure does two things: it breaks apart blockages and flushes everything downstream toward the main sewer. We work systematically through your system, cleaning the walls of your pipes as we go. After we’re finished, we run the camera through again so you can see the difference.

What's Included in Our Service

Every hydro jetting job includes a pre-inspection camera run, the actual high-pressure cleaning, and a post-cleaning inspection so you can see the results. We don’t just clean your drains—we show you what we found and what we fixed.

We handle everything from kitchen sink lines clogged with grease to main sewer lines blocked by roots and debris. Our equipment works on pipes from 2 inches to 12 inches in diameter, covering residential and light commercial applications.

You’ll get a clear explanation of what caused your blockage and practical advice on preventing future problems. We’re not interested in creating repeat customers through poor service—we’d rather earn your trust by doing the job right and helping you avoid unnecessary issues down the road.

The bathroom setting includes tiled walls and floor, highlighting professional plumbing techniques for resolving toilet clogs.
Snaking pokes a hole through blockages, but it leaves most of the buildup stuck to your pipe walls. Think of it like poking a straw through a clogged pipe—water might flow, but the clog is still mostly there. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to completely strip away grease, soap scum, mineral deposits, and debris from the entire inner surface of your pipes. The result is pipes that are actually clean, not just temporarily unblocked. That’s why hydro jetting typically lasts months or years, while snaking often needs to be repeated every few weeks or months.
Professional hydro jetting is safe for all standard residential plumbing when done correctly. We adjust water pressure based on your pipe material and condition—newer PVC pipes can handle higher pressures than older clay or cast iron lines. That’s why we always start with a camera inspection to assess your pipes before we begin. Our equipment allows precise pressure control, and our technicians are trained to recognize when pipes aren’t suitable for hydro jetting. If your pipes are severely damaged or extremely old, we’ll recommend alternative solutions rather than risk causing problems.
Most residential hydro jetting jobs take 1-3 hours, depending on the extent of your blockages and how much of your system needs cleaning. The actual cleaning process is relatively quick—it’s the camera inspections before and after that take time, but those are crucial for doing the job right. We don’t rush through the work because thoroughness is what makes the results last. If you have a straightforward kitchen drain backup, we might be done in an hour. If you need your entire main sewer line cleaned, it could take most of a morning or afternoon.
Hydro jetting typically costs more upfront than traditional snaking, but it’s usually more economical in the long run because it lasts so much longer. When you factor in multiple snaking calls over a year or two, plus the inconvenience of recurring backups, hydro jetting often pays for itself. The exact cost depends on factors like the length of pipe that needs cleaning, the severity of blockages, and accessibility. We provide upfront pricing after our initial inspection so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Many customers tell us they wish they’d done hydro jetting first instead of trying cheaper options that didn’t last.
Yes, hydro jetting is highly effective at cutting through and removing tree roots from sewer lines. The high-pressure water can slice through root masses and flush them out of your system. However, if roots have caused significant pipe damage or if there are major structural issues with your sewer line, hydro jetting alone might not be a permanent solution. That’s why we always do a camera inspection first—to see not just where the roots are, but whether they’ve damaged your pipes. If the pipe joints are separated or the line is severely compromised, we’ll discuss repair options along with root removal.
For most homes, hydro jetting every 2-3 years is sufficient for preventive maintenance. However, the frequency depends on your specific situation. If you have a large family, do a lot of cooking, or have older pipes, you might benefit from annual cleaning. Commercial kitchens or properties with heavy grease loads may need more frequent service. The best approach is to have it done when you’re experiencing problems, then discuss a maintenance schedule based on what we find during the cleaning. Some customers prefer to wait until they have issues again, while others like the peace of mind of regular preventive cleaning.
