Drains That Actually Stay Clear

You know the frustration. The kitchen sink backs up again three weeks after the last service call. The basement floor drain smells like something died down there. You’ve tried everything – liquid drain cleaners, snaking, even that thing your neighbor swears by.

Here’s what changes when you get real hydro jetting done right. Your drains flow like they did when your house was new. That slow bathroom sink finally drains in seconds instead of minutes. The smell disappears because the source is gone, not just covered up.

Most importantly, you stop worrying about it. No more standing water in the laundry room. No more calling for emergency service because guests are coming and the toilet won’t flush properly. Your plumbing just works, the way it should.

Itasca Hydro Jetting Experts

We Know These Local Systems

We’ve been handling Itasca’s toughest drain problems for years. We’ve seen what happens to pipes in this area – the clay sewer lines that attract tree roots, the kitchen drains that can’t handle decades of grease buildup, the basement systems that back up every time it rains hard.

We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. You’re paying for professional-grade equipment that actually solves the problem, not just pushes it further down the line. Our hydro jetting systems deliver up to 4,000 PSI of precisely controlled water pressure – enough to cut through roots and remove buildup without damaging your pipes.

When you call us, you get licensed plumbers who’ve been doing this work long enough to know the difference between a quick fix and a real solution.

Hydro Jet Plumbing Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your drain system to understand what we’re dealing with. Sometimes that means running a camera down the line to see exactly where the problem is and what’s causing it. No guessing, no assumptions.

Next, we position our hydro jetting equipment and insert a specialized nozzle into your drain line. This isn’t your garden hose – we’re talking about professional equipment that delivers thousands of pounds of water pressure in a controlled, precise stream. The nozzle is designed to pull itself through the pipe while cutting through blockages and scouring the pipe walls clean.

The process removes everything – grease, soap buildup, tree roots, mineral deposits, and debris that’s been accumulating for years. We’re not just punching a hole through the clog like traditional snaking does. We’re cleaning the entire diameter of the pipe back to its original size. When we’re done, we’ll often run the camera again so you can see the difference for yourself.

What You Get With Our Service

Every hydro jetting job includes a thorough assessment of your specific situation. We don’t use the same approach for a kitchen grease clog that we’d use for tree roots in your main sewer line. The pressure, nozzle type, and technique all get adjusted based on what your pipes need.

You’ll know the cost upfront – no surprises when the work is done. We explain what we found, why it happened, and what you can expect going forward. If there are ways to prevent the same problem from happening again, we’ll tell you about those too.

Most Itasca homes we service see dramatically improved drain flow that lasts for years, not months. The difference is thorough cleaning versus temporary fixes. We’re removing the cause, not just treating the symptoms. That’s why customers call us back for preventive maintenance instead of emergency repairs.

A plumber wearing a red shirt and blue gloves is using a plumbing snake to unclog a white toilet in a bathroom. The plumber is carefully feeding the snake into the toilet bowl to remove blockages. The bathroom setting includes tiled walls and floor, highlighting professional plumbing techniques for resolving toilet clogs.
Most residential hydro jetting jobs take 1-3 hours, depending on the extent of the blockage and the length of pipe that needs cleaning. Simple kitchen drain clogs might be done in under an hour, while main sewer line cleaning with heavy root intrusion could take most of a morning. We’ll give you a realistic time estimate after we assess your specific situation. The actual jetting process is usually quick – most of the time goes into setup, inspection, and cleanup.
When performed by experienced professionals with proper equipment, hydro jetting is safe for most pipe materials, including older systems. We adjust water pressure based on your pipe type and condition – clay pipes get different treatment than PVC or cast iron. Before we start, we inspect the line to identify any existing damage or weak spots. If your pipes are too deteriorated for hydro jetting, we’ll tell you upfront and recommend alternatives. The key is having technicians who understand how to match the technique to your specific plumbing system.
Hydro jetting typically costs more upfront than basic drain snaking, but it’s often more economical long-term. While snaking might cost $100-200 and need to be repeated every few months, hydro jetting usually provides years of clear drainage. The exact cost depends on factors like pipe accessibility, severity of blockage, and length of line that needs cleaning. We provide upfront pricing so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start. Most customers find the longer-lasting results justify the higher initial investment.
Professional hydro jetting is typically performed through existing cleanouts and access points, so there’s usually no digging or property damage involved. We access your sewer line through cleanouts in your basement, crawl space, or yard – the same access points used for regular drain cleaning. In rare cases where we need to access a buried cleanout, any digging is minimal and we restore the area when finished. The process is much less invasive than traditional methods that might require excavation to replace pipes.
For most Itasca homes, hydro jetting every 2-4 years provides good preventive maintenance, but frequency depends on your specific situation. Homes with large trees near sewer lines might need service more often due to root intrusion. Commercial kitchens or homes that put a lot of grease down the drain typically need more frequent cleaning. We’ll give you a realistic maintenance schedule based on what we find during your service. Many customers find that regular hydro jetting actually reduces their overall plumbing costs by preventing emergency backups and extending pipe life.
Drain snaking punches a hole through blockages, while hydro jetting completely removes them. A snake might get your drain flowing again temporarily, but it leaves most of the buildup behind – grease, soap scum, and debris that will cause problems again soon. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the entire pipe clean, removing buildup from the walls and restoring full pipe diameter. Think of snaking as poking a hole through a clogged artery, while hydro jetting actually cleans the artery. That’s why hydro jetting results last years instead of months.
