Professional Hydro Jetting Services

Your Drains Flow Like New Again

You know that frustration when your drains slow down again just weeks after calling a plumber. Traditional snaking only pokes holes through blockages, leaving most of the buildup clinging to your pipe walls.

Hydro jetting changes that completely. High-pressure water streams scour your pipes clean, removing grease, soap scum, hair, and even tree roots that have been building up for years. Your drains don’t just work—they work like they did when your plumbing was first installed.

The difference is immediate and lasting. No more standing water in your shower. No more kitchen sinks that back up during dinner prep. No more worry about what happens when guests come over. Just pipes that handle everything you throw at them, the way they’re supposed to.

Huntley Hydro Jetting Experts

We Know Huntley's Plumbing Challenges

We’ve been handling Huntley’s unique plumbing challenges for years. We understand how the mature trees in established neighborhoods create root problems, and we know which local areas deal with the most persistent grease and buildup issues.

Our hydro jetting equipment isn’t the basic setup you’ll find with every plumber. We invest in professional-grade machines that deliver the right pressure for your specific pipes—powerful enough to clear decades of buildup, controlled enough to protect your plumbing system.

When you call us, you’re working with plumbers who’ve solved these exact problems in your neighborhood before. We show up prepared, work efficiently, and leave your drains working better than they have in years.

Hydro Jet Plumbing Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we run a video inspection through your drain lines to see exactly what we’re dealing with. This shows us where the worst buildup is, identifies any tree roots, and helps us spot potential pipe issues before we start cleaning.

Next, we insert a specialized nozzle into your drain system and begin the hydro jetting process. High-pressure water streams—up to 4,000 PSI—blast away grease, soap scum, hair, and debris while simultaneously flushing everything downstream. The nozzle is designed to clean the entire pipe circumference, not just punch through the middle like traditional snaking.

After cleaning, we run another video inspection to confirm your pipes are completely clear. You’ll see the difference yourself—pipes that look almost new, with smooth walls and full flow capacity restored. The whole process typically takes a few hours, and you can use your drains immediately afterward.

Sewer Hydro Jetting Solutions

Complete Drain and Sewer Cleaning

Our hydro jetting services handle everything from kitchen sink backups to main sewer line blockages. We clean residential drain lines, commercial grease traps, and municipal sewer connections throughout Huntley and the surrounding areas.

Each job includes video inspection before and after cleaning, so you see exactly what was removed and confirm the work is complete. We document any pipe damage or potential issues we discover, giving you a clear picture of your plumbing system’s condition.

The equipment we use adjusts pressure based on your pipe material and age. Cast iron, PVC, clay, and newer plastic pipes all require different approaches. We’ve cleaned everything from 1950s clay tiles to modern PVC systems, and we know how to get maximum cleaning power without risking damage to your existing plumbing.

Hydro jetting typically costs more upfront than basic snaking, but it saves money long-term because it lasts much longer. Regular drain cleaning might cost $150-300 but only clears a path through blockages, so you’ll need service again in a few months. Hydro jetting runs $300-600 depending on the scope, but it removes all buildup, so most customers don’t need another cleaning for 2-3 years. When you factor in fewer service calls and no emergency backups, hydro jetting usually costs less per year than repeated traditional cleanings.
Professional hydro jetting is safe for pipes in good structural condition, regardless of age. We always start with video inspection to check your pipe condition before cleaning. Our equipment lets us adjust water pressure based on your specific pipe material and age—we use lower pressure for older cast iron or clay pipes, higher pressure for newer PVC systems. If we find pipes that are too deteriorated for hydro jetting, we’ll recommend alternative solutions. The key is working with experienced plumbers who know how to match the cleaning method to your plumbing system.
Most residential hydro jetting jobs take 2-4 hours, including video inspection before and after cleaning. The actual cleaning process is faster than you’d expect—it’s the inspection and setup that take time. You can use your drains immediately after we finish. There’s no waiting period or special precautions needed. We clean up completely and test your drains before we leave, so you know everything is working properly. For larger jobs like main sewer lines, we might need to schedule during times when you can avoid using water for a few hours.
Hydro jetting removes almost everything that builds up in drain pipes. It clears grease and soap scum, hair clogs, food debris, mineral deposits, and even tree roots that have grown into your pipes. The high-pressure water cuts through roots and flushes them out completely, unlike snaking which just chops them up. It also removes years of buildup that traditional methods leave behind. The only things hydro jetting can’t handle are solid objects like toys or jewelry, and major pipe collapses or breaks. For those issues, we’d need to use different tools or recommend pipe repair.
Most residential customers need hydro jetting every 2-3 years, but it depends on your household and local conditions. Homes with large families, lots of cooking, or mature trees nearby might need cleaning every 18-24 months. Houses with minimal usage might go 4-5 years between cleanings. We recommend scheduling hydro jetting when you notice drains starting to slow down, rather than waiting for backups. Commercial properties with grease traps typically need more frequent service, sometimes every 6-12 months. After your first cleaning, we can give you a better timeline based on what we find in your specific pipes.
Hydro jetting is far more effective and safer than chemical drain cleaners. Chemical products only dissolve certain types of clogs and can actually damage your pipes over time, especially older metal pipes. They also create toxic fumes and can cause dangerous reactions if mixed with other chemicals. Hydro jetting physically removes all buildup without chemicals, so it’s safe for your family and the environment. It also cleans the entire pipe diameter, not just the center, so blockages don’t return as quickly. While chemical cleaners might temporarily improve flow, hydro jetting actually restores your pipes to like-new condition.
