What Happens When Drains Actually Work

Your drains flow fast again. No more standing water in sinks or tubs. No more gurgling sounds from pipes. No more wondering if that clog is coming back next week.

Hydro jetting doesn’t just push the problem down the line like snaking does. It scours the entire pipe clean, removing grease, hair, soap scum, and mineral buildup that’s been accumulating for years. You get months or even years of trouble-free drainage instead of temporary fixes.

Most Carol Stream homeowners are shocked at how well their drains work after hydro jetting. Water disappears instantly. Showers drain completely. Kitchen sinks handle whatever you throw at them. It’s like having new plumbing without the renovation costs.

Hydro Jetting Drain Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your drain lines with a camera to see exactly what we’re dealing with. This shows us where the blockages are, what’s causing them, and whether your pipes can handle hydro jetting pressure.

Next, we insert a specialized nozzle into your drain line. This nozzle shoots high-pressure water in multiple directions, scouring the pipe walls clean while flushing debris toward the main sewer line. The water pressure is adjustable based on your pipe material and the severity of the blockage.

The entire process usually takes 30 minutes to an hour, depending on how many lines need cleaning. We’ll run another camera inspection afterward to show you the results. You’ll see your pipes are completely clean and flowing freely again.

Every hydro jetting service includes a pre-inspection camera run to assess your pipes and identify problem areas. We explain what we find and give you upfront pricing before any work begins.

Hydro jetting typically costs between $350 and $600 for residential drain lines in Carol Stream, depending on the severity of the blockage and how many lines need cleaning. Main sewer line hydro jetting usually runs $400 to $800. We provide upfront pricing after inspecting your specific situation, so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start. Most homeowners find hydro jetting costs less than repeated service calls for temporary fixes, and it lasts much longer than traditional drain cleaning methods.
Hydro jetting is safe for most pipe materials when performed by trained professionals with proper equipment. We always start with a camera inspection to check your pipe condition before hydro jetting. If we find cracked, collapsed, or severely deteriorated pipes, we’ll recommend alternative solutions. Modern hydro jetting equipment allows us to adjust water pressure based on your pipe material – we use lower pressure for older cast iron or clay pipes and higher pressure for newer PVC or ABS pipes. The key is having experienced technicians who know how to match the pressure to your specific plumbing system.
Hydro jetting results typically last 1-3 years for residential drains, depending on usage and what goes down your drains. Kitchen drains that handle a lot of grease may need cleaning every 12-18 months, while bathroom drains often stay clear for 2-3 years. Main sewer lines usually stay clear for 2-4 years after hydro jetting. The results last much longer than traditional snaking because hydro jetting removes all the buildup from pipe walls, not just the immediate blockage. Regular maintenance and being mindful of what goes down your drains can extend these timeframes significantly.
Yes, hydro jetting can cut through most tree roots in sewer lines. The high-pressure water stream can slice through root masses and flush the debris out of your system. However, hydro jetting doesn’t prevent roots from growing back – it’s a maintenance solution rather than a permanent fix. If you have ongoing root problems, we typically recommend hydro jetting every 1-2 years to keep roots under control. For severe root intrusion, you might need pipe repair or replacement to permanently solve the problem. We’ll show you exactly what we find during the camera inspection and recommend the best long-term solution.
Snaking punches a hole through blockages, while hydro jetting completely cleans the pipe walls. A drain snake or auger can clear immediate blockages, but it leaves most of the buildup behind. That’s why snaked drains often clog again within weeks or months. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour away grease, scale, soap scum, and debris from the entire pipe interior. You get a completely clean pipe that stays clear much longer. Hydro jetting costs more upfront but saves money long-term because you need service less frequently.
Yes, we provide emergency hydro jetting services throughout Carol Stream when you’re dealing with severe backups or multiple blocked drains. Emergency service is available evenings, weekends, and holidays, though emergency rates apply. We carry portable hydro jetting equipment so we can respond quickly to urgent situations. If you have sewage backing up into your home or business, or multiple drains failing at once, don’t wait – call us immediately. We’ll get your drains flowing again and assess whether you need additional repairs to prevent future emergencies.
