Professional Hydro Jetting Services

Your Drains Will Flow Like New

When snaking doesn’t work and chemicals fail, hydro jetting cuts through the toughest blockages with surgical precision. You’ll get drains that flow freely for years, not weeks.

This isn’t your typical drain cleaning. High-pressure water jets scour pipe walls clean, removing grease buildup that’s been accumulating for decades. Tree roots that have been growing through your sewer line get completely cleared out.

The result? Drains that work the way they’re supposed to. No more slow drainage during your morning routine. No more worrying about backups when you’re doing laundry or dishes. Just reliable plumbing that handles whatever you throw at it.

Lombard Hydro Jetting Experts

We Know Lombard's Plumbing Challenges

We’ve been solving drainage problems for Lombard homeowners who’ve tried everything else first. We see the same issues repeatedly – tree roots in older neighborhoods, grease buildup in kitchen lines, and seasonal ground shifts that crush pipes.

Our hydro jetting equipment handles what basic drain cleaning can’t. We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. You’re paying for equipment that actually works and technicians who know how to use it without damaging your pipes.

Hydro Jetting Process Lombard

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your pipes with a video camera to see exactly what we’re dealing with. This shows us the blockage type, pipe condition, and the best approach for your specific situation.

Next, we insert a specialized nozzle that shoots water at pressures up to 4,000 PSI. The water cuts through grease, breaks up tree roots, and scours away years of buildup that’s been narrowing your pipes. Different nozzles handle different problems – we’re not using a one-size-fits-all approach.

After the hydro jetting, we run the camera through again so you can see the results. Your pipes will look completely different – clean walls, full diameter restored, and flowing freely. We’ll show you the before and after footage so you know exactly what you’re getting.

Hydro Jet Drain Cleaning

What's Included in Every Service

Every hydro jetting service includes a complete video inspection before and after the cleaning. You’ll see exactly what was blocking your drains and verify that it’s completely gone.

We bring commercial-grade equipment that adjusts pressure based on your pipe material and age. Cast iron, PVC, clay – each requires different pressure settings to clean effectively without causing damage. This isn’t something you can rent from the hardware store.

You’ll also get a detailed report of what we found and recommendations for preventing future problems. Some blockages are one-time issues, others indicate ongoing problems that need attention. We’ll tell you the difference so you can make informed decisions about your plumbing.

Hydro jetting typically costs between $350-800 depending on the severity of the blockage and length of pipe that needs cleaning. This includes video inspection, the actual hydro jetting, and a follow-up camera check to verify results. While it costs more than basic drain cleaning, it lasts 2-3 years instead of 2-3 months. Most customers find it’s actually cheaper in the long run because you’re not calling for repeated service visits. We provide upfront pricing after the initial inspection so you know exactly what you’re paying before any work begins.
Professional hydro jetting is safe for pipes in good structural condition, regardless of age. We adjust water pressure based on your specific pipe material – lower pressure for older cast iron or clay pipes, higher pressure for newer PVC. The video inspection we do first shows us any weak spots or damage that would make hydro jetting inappropriate. If your pipes are too fragile for hydro jetting, we’ll tell you upfront and suggest alternatives. The key is having experienced technicians who know how to read pipe conditions and adjust accordingly.
Most residential hydro jetting lasts 2-3 years with normal use. Kitchen drains that handle a lot of grease might need attention sooner, while bathroom drains often stay clear longer. The longevity depends on what caused the original blockage and your usage patterns. Tree roots will eventually regrow, but it takes time. Grease buildup happens gradually. Unlike snaking, which just pokes a hole through blockages, hydro jetting removes the entire buildup so it takes much longer to accumulate again.
Yes, hydro jetting is the most effective way to remove tree roots from sewer lines. The high-pressure water cuts through roots and flushes the debris completely out of the pipe. However, roots will eventually regrow since the tree is still there. We typically recommend hydro jetting every 2-3 years for properties with known root intrusion issues. Some customers also choose to have root-killing treatments applied after hydro jetting to slow regrowth. The video inspection shows us exactly where roots are entering so we can focus on those areas.
Regular drain cleaning (snaking) pokes a hole through blockages to restore flow temporarily. Hydro jetting removes the entire blockage and cleans the pipe walls completely. Think of snaking as making a tunnel through a clog, while hydro jetting removes the clog entirely. Snaking works for simple blockages and costs less upfront, but the problem usually returns within weeks or months. Hydro jetting costs more initially but the results last years. For recurring problems or severe blockages, hydro jetting is usually the more cost-effective long-term solution.
Yes, we provide emergency hydro jetting services for severe backups that pose health risks or property damage threats. Sewage backups, multiple drain failures, or situations where water can’t drain at all qualify for emergency service. Emergency calls include higher fees due to after-hours scheduling, but we’ll give you exact pricing over the phone. For non-emergency situations like slow drains or minor backups, we can usually schedule service within 1-2 business days at standard rates. Call us to discuss your specific situation and timing needs.
