Professional Hydro Jetting Services

What You Get With Real Hydro Jetting

Your drains work like they’re supposed to. Water flows fast and stays flowing because we’ve removed everything – grease, roots, mineral deposits, and debris that’s been building up for years.

You won’t be dealing with the same clog next month. Hydro jetting clears your pipes completely, not just pokes a hole through the blockage like traditional snaking does.

The process is thorough but safe for your pipes. We use precisely controlled water pressure that’s strong enough to cut through tree roots but won’t damage your plumbing system. Most customers see 2-3 years of clear drains after professional hydro jetting.

Hydro Jetting Process Explained

Here's Exactly How We Clear Your Pipes

First, we inspect your pipes with a video camera to see exactly what we’re dealing with and locate the blockage. This tells us the right pressure settings and approach for your specific situation.

Next, we insert a specialized nozzle into your drain that shoots high-pressure water in multiple directions. The water pressure – up to 4,000 PSI – cuts through roots, dissolves grease, and scours away years of buildup from your pipe walls.

The debris gets flushed downstream to the main sewer system. We follow up with another video inspection to confirm everything’s clear and show you the results. Most jobs take 2-4 hours depending on the severity of the blockage.

Hydro jetting typically costs between $350-$600 for residential services in Schaumburg, depending on the severity of the blockage and accessibility of your pipes. This includes the initial video inspection, the hydro jetting service, and follow-up inspection to confirm results. While it costs more than basic snaking, hydro jetting lasts 2-3 years compared to snaking which often needs to be repeated every few months. We provide upfront pricing after our initial assessment so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start work.
Professional hydro jetting is safe for pipes in good structural condition, including older systems common in Schaumburg. We adjust water pressure based on your pipe material and condition – clay pipes get different treatment than PVC or cast iron. Our initial video inspection identifies any weak spots or damage before we start. If your pipes are too deteriorated for hydro jetting, we’ll recommend alternative solutions. The process actually extends pipe life by removing corrosive buildup that causes deterioration over time.
Most residential hydro jetting jobs take 2-4 hours from start to finish, including initial inspection, the cleaning process, and final verification. Simple blockages in easily accessible lines might take less time, while complex root intrusions or multiple blockages can take longer. We’ll give you a time estimate after our initial assessment. The process is thorough – we’re not just clearing a path through the blockage, we’re cleaning the entire pipe interior, which takes more time but delivers much better long-term results.
Hydro jetting removes virtually any blockage – tree roots, grease buildup, mineral deposits, soap scum, hair clogs, and foreign objects. It’s particularly effective on problems that keep coming back because it cleans the entire pipe interior, not just creates a hole through the blockage. We regularly clear roots that have grown through pipe joints, decades of grease accumulation in restaurant lines, and mineral buildup in areas with hard water. If there’s something in your pipes that shouldn’t be there, hydro jetting can remove it.
Most residential properties benefit from hydro jetting every 2-3 years as preventive maintenance, though this varies based on usage and local conditions. Properties with large trees nearby might need more frequent service due to root intrusion. Commercial properties with heavy grease loads typically need annual service. If you’re currently dealing with recurring clogs every few months, hydro jetting can break that cycle and get you back to normal drainage. We’ll recommend a maintenance schedule based on what we find during your initial service.
Hydro jetting is more thorough and longer-lasting than traditional snaking. Snaking creates a hole through the blockage but leaves most of the buildup on pipe walls, which is why clogs often return within months. Hydro jetting removes everything from the pipe interior, restoring full flow capacity and preventing quick re-clogging. While snaking might cost less upfront, you’ll likely need it repeated several times per year. Hydro jetting costs more initially but typically lasts 2-3 years, making it more cost-effective long-term for serious blockages.
