Professional Hydro Jetting Services

Your Drains Work Like New

When your drains finally flow at full capacity again, you notice the difference immediately. Water disappears down kitchen sinks without hesitation. Your shower doesn’t turn into a wading pool. The basement floor drain handles heavy rains without backing up.

That’s what happens when hydro jetting removes every trace of grease, soap buildup, mineral deposits, and debris that’s been choking your pipes for years. Unlike snaking that just pokes holes through clogs, high-pressure water jetting scours pipe walls completely clean.

You get months or even years before any slowdown returns. Most customers tell us they wish they’d done this sooner instead of paying for repeated drain cleaning that never really solved the problem.

Lake In The Hills Plumbers

We Know These Pipe Systems

We’ve been clearing drains in Lake In The Hills for years, and we’ve seen what clogs these older neighborhood systems. Tree roots from mature maples and oaks. Decades of grease buildup in kitchen lines. Mineral deposits from hard water.

We invested in professional-grade hydro jetting equipment because we got tired of telling customers their problem would just come back in six months. Now we can actually solve drain issues instead of just treating symptoms.

Our team handles everything from residential main lines to commercial grease traps, and we’re licensed and insured for all the work we do in Lake In The Hills.

Hydro Jet Drain Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we run a video camera through your drain to see exactly what we’re dealing with and locate any pipe damage that needs attention before we start. This prevents surprises and lets us choose the right pressure settings for your specific pipes.

Next, we insert the hydro jetting nozzle and start with lower pressure, gradually increasing as needed. The specialized nozzle shoots water forward to break through blockages while jets pointing backward scour the pipe walls clean. We work systematically through the entire line.

After we’re done, we run the camera through again so you can see the results. Your pipes look completely different – like they’re brand new inside. We’ll also point out any areas that might need attention down the road so you’re never caught off guard by plumbing problems.

What You Get With Our Service

Every hydro jetting job includes video inspection before and after so you see exactly what the problem was and confirm it’s completely resolved. We don’t guess – we show you.

We handle main sewer lines, kitchen drains clogged with grease, bathroom lines slowed by hair and soap buildup, and floor drains that back up during storms. Our equipment adjusts from gentle cleaning for older pipes to maximum pressure for stubborn tree roots and mineral deposits.

You also get honest advice about your plumbing system. If we spot potential problems during the camera inspection, we’ll explain what you’re looking at and help you decide whether to address it now or monitor it. Many Lake In The Hills homes have cast iron lines that are still functional but worth keeping an eye on.

Hydro jetting typically costs more upfront than basic snaking, but it saves money long-term because it actually solves the problem instead of just creating a temporary hole through the clog. Most customers find they don’t need drain cleaning again for years after hydro jetting, while snaking often needs to be repeated every few months. When you factor in the repeated service calls, emergency fees, and frustration of dealing with the same clog over and over, hydro jetting usually costs less overall. We provide upfront pricing so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start.
Professional hydro jetting is safe for all pipe materials when done correctly, including older cast iron, clay, and PVC systems common in Lake In The Hills homes. We always start with video inspection to check pipe condition and identify any existing damage or weak spots. Our equipment lets us adjust pressure precisely – we use just enough force to clean effectively without risking damage. In fact, hydro jetting often reveals existing pipe problems that were hidden by buildup, giving you a chance to address them before they become emergencies. If your pipes are too fragile for hydro jetting, we’ll tell you upfront and recommend alternatives.
Most residential hydro jetting jobs take 1-3 hours depending on the length of pipe being cleaned and severity of the blockages. Simple kitchen drain cleaning might take an hour, while a full main sewer line with heavy tree root intrusion could take most of the morning. We include video inspection time in that estimate – both the initial assessment and final verification that everything’s clean. Commercial jobs with extensive grease buildup or multiple drain lines take longer. We’ll give you a time estimate when we assess your specific situation, and we always clean up completely before we leave.
Hydro jetting removes virtually any organic blockage including grease, hair, soap scum, food waste, toilet paper buildup, and tree roots. It also clears mineral deposits, scale buildup from hard water, and debris that’s accumulated over years. The high-pressure water cuts through tree roots that have grown into pipe joints and completely removes grease that coats pipe walls in kitchen lines. However, it won’t remove solid objects like toys, jewelry, or construction debris that’s been dropped down drains. If our video inspection shows solid objects, we’ll use other tools to retrieve them first, then follow up with hydro jetting to clean the pipes.
For most Lake In The Hills homes, hydro jetting every 2-5 years keeps drains flowing perfectly, but frequency depends on your specific situation. Homes with large trees near sewer lines might need it more often due to root intrusion. Houses with older residents who are careful about what goes down drains might go longer between cleanings. Commercial kitchens and restaurants typically need hydro jetting annually or even more frequently due to grease volume. We’ll give you a realistic timeline based on what we find during your cleaning and video inspection. Many customers schedule preventive hydro jetting rather than waiting for problems – it’s less expensive and more convenient than emergency calls.
Hydro jetting is far more effective and safer than chemical drain cleaners. Chemicals only dissolve some types of clogs and often can’t reach blockages deep in your system. They also damage pipes over time, especially older metal lines, and create toxic fumes in your home. Hydro jetting physically removes all debris and buildup without chemicals, so it’s safe for your family and the environment. It also cleans the entire pipe diameter, not just creates a small hole like chemicals do. While chemical cleaners might provide temporary relief for minor clogs, hydro jetting actually solves the underlying problem and prevents future backups.
