Professional Hydro Jetting Services

Your Drains Work Like New

When traditional drain cleaning fails, hydro jetting succeeds. This isn’t another temporary fix that leaves you calling back in three months.

High-pressure water streams cut through grease buildup, pulverize tree roots, and blast away mineral deposits that have been choking your pipes for years. The result? Drains that flow at full capacity again.

You get complete blockage removal, not just a hole poked through the clog. Your pipes are cleaned from wall to wall, which means fewer callbacks, fewer headaches, and drains that actually stay clear. No more standing water in your basement or foul odors backing up through your sinks.

Rolling Meadows Hydro Jet Plumbers

We Know What Works

We’ve been handling Rolling Meadows’ toughest drain problems for years. We’ve seen what happens when homeowners try every chemical on the shelf, call multiple plumbers, and still end up with the same recurring clogs.

That’s why we invested in professional-grade hydro jetting equipment. Not the light-duty units some plumbers use, but commercial-grade systems that generate the pressure needed to handle serious blockages.

We’re licensed, insured, and we show up when we say we will. Most importantly, we don’t just clear your drain—we solve the underlying problem so you’re not dealing with this again next month.

Hydro Jetting Process Rolling Meadows

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we run a camera inspection to see exactly what we’re dealing with. Tree roots? Grease buildup? Collapsed sections? We need to know before we start.

Next, we insert the hydro jetting nozzle through a cleanout or access point. The specialized nozzle shoots high-pressure water in multiple directions—forward to break up blockages, backward to flush debris toward the main line.

Water pressure ranges from 1,500 to 4,000 PSI depending on your pipe material and the severity of buildup. The process is controlled and methodical, not a blast-and-hope approach. We work systematically through each section until your pipes are completely clear.

Finally, we run another camera inspection to confirm the job is done right. You’ll see the before and after footage yourself.

Drain Hydro Jetting Rolling Meadows

What You Get With Our Service

Every hydro jetting service includes video camera inspection before and after the cleaning. You see exactly what was blocking your drains and confirm everything is clear when we’re finished.

We handle all pipe materials—cast iron, PVC, clay, and concrete. Our equipment adjusts pressure based on your specific pipes to ensure effective cleaning without damage. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach.

Rolling Meadows properties often deal with tree root intrusion from mature landscaping and grease buildup from kitchen drains. We’ve cleared everything from restaurant grease traps to residential sewer lines clogged with decades of soap scum and hair. The process works on blockages that have been building for years, not just recent clogs.

The bathroom setting includes tiled walls and floor, highlighting professional plumbing techniques for resolving toilet clogs.
Hydro jetting typically costs between $350-$600 for residential drains, depending on the severity of blockage and accessibility. This includes camera inspection and complete cleaning of the affected line. While it costs more than basic snaking, it’s significantly less expensive than pipe replacement and actually solves the problem long-term. We provide upfront pricing after assessing your specific situation, so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start work.
Professional hydro jetting won’t damage pipes that are in reasonable condition. We adjust water pressure based on your pipe material and age—lower pressure for older cast iron or clay pipes, higher pressure for newer PVC systems. The camera inspection reveals any weak spots or damage before we begin, so we can modify our approach accordingly. If your pipes are too deteriorated for hydro jetting, we’ll tell you upfront rather than risk causing damage.
Most residential hydro jetting jobs take 1-3 hours from start to finish, including initial camera inspection and final verification. Simple kitchen drain cleaning might take an hour, while main sewer line cleaning with extensive root removal could take several hours. The process itself is relatively quick—most of the time is spent on proper setup and thorough inspection to ensure we address the root cause of your drainage problems.
Yes, hydro jetting is extremely effective at cutting through and removing tree roots from sewer lines. The high-pressure water streams slice through root masses and flush the debris downstream. However, roots will eventually grow back unless you address the entry point through pipe repair or regular maintenance cleaning. We can show you exactly where roots are entering during the camera inspection and recommend the best long-term solution for your specific situation.
For most Rolling Meadows homes, hydro jetting every 2-3 years prevents major blockages from developing. Properties with mature trees, heavy grease use, or older pipes may need annual cleaning. Commercial properties typically require more frequent service. After your initial cleaning, we can recommend a maintenance schedule based on what we found in your pipes and your usage patterns. Regular maintenance is much less expensive than emergency calls.
Hydro jetting cleans the entire pipe diameter, while snaking only pokes a hole through blockages. Snaking is fine for simple clogs, but hydro jetting removes the buildup that causes recurring problems. If you’ve had the same drain snaked multiple times, hydro jetting will likely provide a permanent solution. It’s particularly effective for grease buildup, mineral deposits, and root intrusion that snaking can’t adequately address. The investment pays off in fewer service calls and better long-term drain performance.
