Professional Hydro Jetting Services

What Your Drains Look Like After

Your drains flow like they did when your house was new. No more slow drainage, no more recurring backups, no more calling a plumber every few months for the same problem.

Hydro jetting removes everything traditional snaking leaves behind. The grease buildup, mineral deposits, soap scum, and debris that accumulate over years get completely flushed out. You’re left with pipes that are essentially restored to their original diameter.

Most customers see results that last 18 months to several years, depending on usage. That’s because we’re not just poking a hole through the blockage – we’re removing the entire problem from your pipe walls.

Hydro Jetting Drain Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we run a camera inspection through your drain to see exactly what we’re dealing with. This shows us the type of blockage, the condition of your pipes, and whether hydro jetting is the right solution for your specific situation.

Next, we insert a specialized hose with a multi-directional nozzle into your drain line. Our equipment generates water pressure up to 4,000 PSI – strong enough to cut through tree roots, dissolve grease buildup, and blast away years of accumulated debris.

The high-pressure water scours your pipe walls clean while flushing everything downstream and out of your system. We finish with another camera inspection so you can see the difference and we can verify the job is complete.

Hydro jetting typically lasts 18 months to several years, while traditional snaking usually provides relief for just a few weeks or months. The difference comes down to what each method actually removes. Snaking pokes a hole through the blockage but leaves most of the buildup on your pipe walls. Hydro jetting removes everything – the grease, soap scum, mineral deposits, and debris that cause recurring clogs. Since we’re cleaning your pipes back to near-original condition rather than just creating a temporary opening, the results last significantly longer.
We always start with a camera inspection specifically to assess your pipe condition before recommending hydro jetting. Most pipes can handle the process safely, but we adjust pressure settings based on what we find. For older cast iron or clay pipes that show signs of deterioration, we might recommend lower pressure settings or alternative methods. The camera inspection protects both your pipes and our reputation – we’re not going to damage your plumbing to clear a drain. If your pipes are too fragile for hydro jetting, we’ll tell you upfront and discuss other options.
Hydro jetting handles grease buildup, soap scum accumulation, mineral deposits, small tree roots, and years of debris that traditional snaking can’t effectively remove. Snaking works well for simple clogs like hair or paper, but it’s not designed to clean pipe walls. If you’ve had your drains snaked multiple times and the problem keeps returning, that’s usually because the underlying buildup is still there. Hydro jetting’s high-pressure water cuts through and flushes out this accumulated material, which is why it provides longer-lasting results for chronic drainage problems.
Hydro jetting costs more upfront than basic snaking, but it’s typically more cost-effective long-term because you’re not paying for repeated service calls. Most residential hydro jetting jobs in the Hoffman Estates area range from $350 to $600, depending on the complexity and length of the lines involved. When you factor in that traditional drain cleaning might need to be repeated every few months, hydro jetting often saves money over time. We provide upfront pricing after the camera inspection so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start work.
No digging required. Hydro jetting is completely non-invasive – we access your drain lines through existing cleanouts, floor drains, or fixtures. Your landscaping, driveway, and property remain untouched. This is one of the major advantages over traditional methods like excavation or pipe replacement. We bring our equipment to your existing access points and do all the work from there. The only thing that comes out of your property is the water and debris that gets flushed through your existing drainage system to the municipal sewer.
If you’re dealing with recurring clogs, multiple slow drains, or drainage problems that keep coming back despite repeated service calls, hydro jetting is probably the right solution. Other signs include bad odors from drains, gurgling sounds, or water backing up in multiple fixtures. Basically, if traditional methods haven’t provided lasting results, it’s time to consider hydro jetting. We can determine this definitively with a camera inspection – if we see significant buildup on your pipe walls or multiple problem areas throughout your system, hydro jetting will be more effective than spot treatments.
