Professional Hydro Jetting Services

Actually Fix Your Drain Problems

You’ve tried everything. The liquid drain cleaners that barely work and smell terrible. The plumber who snaked your line three times this year. The same slow drain that keeps coming back no matter what you do.

Hydro jetting cuts through the root of the problem – literally. High-pressure water streams blast away grease buildup, soap scum, tree roots, and decades of debris that’s been choking your pipes. What you get is pipes that flow like they’re supposed to, not just a temporary fix that’ll clog again next month.

Most Glen Ellyn homes have mature trees and older plumbing systems. That’s a recipe for root intrusion and serious buildup that traditional methods can’t handle. Hydro jetting reaches every inch of your pipe system, scouring the walls clean and restoring full flow capacity.

Hydro Jet Plumbing Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we run a video camera through your drain to see what we’re dealing with. Tree roots, grease buildup, collapsed sections – we need to know before we start blasting water through your pipes.

Next comes the hydro jetting itself. We insert a specialized nozzle that shoots water at up to 4,000 PSI in multiple directions. The forward jets cut through blockages while rear-facing jets scour the pipe walls clean. This isn’t gentle – it’s designed to remove everything that doesn’t belong in your pipes.

After we’re done, we run the camera through again so you can see the difference. Clean pipes, full flow, and debris that’s been there for years completely gone. The whole process typically takes 1-3 hours depending on the severity of buildup and length of your system.

Sewer Hydro Jetting Solutions

What's Included in Every Service

Every hydro jetting service includes before-and-after video inspection. You’ll see exactly what was blocking your pipes and the clean results afterward. No guessing, no taking our word for it.

We handle main sewer lines, secondary drains, and everything in between. Kitchen sinks backed up with grease, bathroom drains slow from soap buildup, floor drains that haven’t worked properly in years – hydro jetting clears them all.

The service is safe for your pipes when done properly. Our technicians adjust pressure based on pipe material and condition. PVC, cast iron, clay – we know how to clean each type without causing damage. You get results that last months or years, not weeks.

The bathroom setting includes tiled walls and floor, highlighting professional plumbing techniques for resolving toilet clogs.
Snaking punches a hole through blockages but leaves most of the buildup stuck to your pipe walls. Hydro jetting completely scours the entire pipe clean. Think of snaking like poking a hole through a clogged artery – hydro jetting is like giving your pipes a complete internal cleaning. The high-pressure water removes grease, soap scum, tree roots, and years of accumulated debris that snaking simply can’t touch. That’s why hydro jetted drains stay clear much longer than snaked ones.
Professional hydro jetting is safe when done correctly. We adjust water pressure based on your pipe material and condition – that’s why the video inspection comes first. PVC pipes can handle higher pressure than old clay or cast iron. Our technicians are trained to recognize pipe limitations and adjust accordingly. If your pipes are too fragile for hydro jetting, we’ll tell you upfront rather than risk damage. Most Glen Ellyn homes have pipes that handle the process just fine, but we never guess.
Most customers see results that last 1-4 years, depending on usage and what caused the original blockage. Grease buildup comes back faster than tree root removal. Kitchen drains in busy households might need attention sooner than bathroom drains. The key difference is that hydro jetting gives you a truly clean starting point, so even when buildup begins again, it takes much longer to cause problems. Compare that to snaking, where blockages often return within weeks or months.
Yes, hydro jetting is extremely effective at cutting through tree roots and clearing root-invaded pipes. The high-pressure water cuts roots into small pieces that flush away completely. However, if roots have been growing in your line for years, they’ll eventually grow back unless you address the entry point. We can clear the roots and show you exactly where they’re entering your pipe system. Many Glen Ellyn properties deal with root intrusion due to mature landscaping – hydro jetting buys you significant time between treatments.
Yes, we provide same-day and emergency hydro jetting services throughout Glen Ellyn and DuPage County. Sewage backups and completely blocked drains can’t wait for regular business hours. We understand that plumbing emergencies cause property damage and health concerns the longer they go untreated. Emergency service does carry additional fees, but we’re upfront about pricing before we start any work. Most emergency calls can be resolved the same day with proper hydro jetting equipment.
Hydro jetting typically costs more upfront than basic snaking, but it lasts much longer and prevents repeated service calls. Pricing depends on the length of pipe system, severity of blockage, and accessibility. Most residential jobs range from a few hundred to over a thousand dollars for extensive main line work. We provide upfront pricing after the video inspection shows us exactly what needs to be cleared. Many customers find hydro jetting actually saves money long-term by eliminating frequent drain cleaning calls.
