Drains That Actually Stay Clear

You know the frustration. Snake the drain, it works for a few weeks, then you’re back to slow drainage and backups. That’s because traditional methods only poke holes through blockages instead of removing them completely.

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour your pipes clean. We’re talking about removing grease, soap scum, mineral deposits, and even tree roots that have been building up for years. The result is pipes that flow like they did when they were new.

Most customers see dramatic improvement in drainage speed across their entire plumbing system. No more standing water in sinks. No more toilets that barely flush. No more shower drains that turn your bathroom into a wading pool.

Hydro Jetting Process Crystal Lake

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your pipes with a camera to see exactly what we’re dealing with. This shows us the location and severity of blockages, plus any potential pipe damage that needs attention before we start.

Next, we insert a specialized nozzle into your drain line. This nozzle shoots water in multiple directions at pressures up to 4,000 PSI – strong enough to cut through tree roots and scour away decades of buildup, but controlled enough to protect your pipes.

The high-pressure water pushes all debris downstream and out of your system. We follow up with another camera inspection to confirm everything is clear and show you the difference. Most jobs take 1-3 hours depending on the extent of buildup and the length of pipe being cleaned.

What You Get With Our Service

Every hydro jetting service includes a thorough camera inspection before and after cleaning. You’ll see exactly what was blocking your drains and confirm that everything has been removed. We provide a detailed explanation of what we found and recommendations for preventing future problems.

We handle everything from kitchen sink drains clogged with grease to main sewer lines blocked by tree roots. Our equipment works on all pipe materials including PVC, cast iron, and clay without causing damage. You’ll also receive guidance on maintenance practices that keep your drains flowing freely longer.

For Crystal Lake homes with mature landscaping, we pay special attention to root intrusion points and can recommend preventive treatments that reduce future root growth into your sewer lines.

Drain snaking pokes a hole through blockages, but leaves most of the buildup stuck to your pipe walls. Within weeks or months, that buildup catches more debris and you’re back to slow drains. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to completely remove buildup from the entire circumference of your pipes. Instead of just creating a path for water to flow, we restore your pipes to nearly their original diameter. This means dramatically better flow and much longer-lasting results.
Professional hydro jetting is safe for all pipe materials when done correctly. We always start with a camera inspection to check pipe condition and identify any existing damage. Our equipment allows us to adjust water pressure based on your specific pipe material and condition. PVC, cast iron, clay, and even older galvanized pipes can be safely cleaned with hydro jetting. In fact, removing buildup and debris often helps extend the life of aging pipes by reducing corrosion and stress points.
Most residential customers see results that last 2-4 years, compared to traditional snaking which typically lasts 2-4 months. The exact timeframe depends on what caused the original blockage and your household’s usage patterns. Homes with heavy grease disposal or significant tree root intrusion may need service more frequently. We provide specific maintenance recommendations based on what we find during your service to help you get the maximum time between cleanings.
Yes, hydro jetting is extremely effective at cutting through and removing tree roots from sewer lines. The high-pressure water can cut through root masses that have completely blocked pipes and flush all the debris downstream. This is especially important in Crystal Lake where mature trees commonly send roots into sewer lines seeking water. After clearing roots, we can discuss root prevention treatments that slow regrowth and extend the time between cleanings.
Hydro jetting typically costs more upfront than basic drain snaking, but provides much better value over time. When you factor in the longer-lasting results and improved drain performance, most customers save money by avoiding repeated service calls. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, and many customers find that one hydro jetting service costs less than multiple snaking visits over the same time period. The exact cost depends on the extent of blockage and length of pipe being cleaned.
Your appointment starts with a camera inspection so we can show you exactly what’s blocking your drains and explain our recommended approach. The actual hydro jetting process typically takes 1-3 hours depending on your specific situation. We’ll protect your home with floor coverings and clean up completely when finished. You’ll see immediate improvement in drainage, and we’ll provide a follow-up camera inspection to confirm everything has been cleared. We also give you specific recommendations for maintaining your newly cleaned pipes.
