What Happens When Your Drains Actually Work

You’ll notice the difference immediately. Water flows freely down every drain in your house. No more standing water in your shower or kitchen sink backing up during dinner prep.

The recurring clogs that brought you here? Gone. The slow drainage that’s been frustrating you for months? Fixed. That unpleasant odor coming from your basement floor drain? Eliminated.

Hydro jetting doesn’t just poke a hole through the blockage like traditional snaking. It scours the entire pipe clean, removing years of grease buildup, soap scum, and debris that’s been narrowing your pipes. You get drains that work like they’re supposed to work.

Hydro Jetting Process St. Charles

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your drains with a camera to see exactly what we’re dealing with. This shows us the location and severity of blockages, plus the condition of your pipes. No guesswork, no surprises.

Next, we insert a specialized nozzle into your drain line and blast high-pressure water in all directions. The water pressure can reach up to 4,000 PSI, which cuts through grease, breaks up mineral deposits, and flushes away debris that’s been building up for years.

The entire process is controlled and precise. We adjust water pressure based on your pipe material and age. Older cast iron gets different treatment than newer PVC. When we’re done, we run the camera through again so you can see the results yourself.

Sewer Hydro Jetting St. Charles

What You Get With Our Service

Every hydro jetting service includes a thorough camera inspection before and after the cleaning. You’ll see exactly what was blocking your drains and the condition of your pipes once they’re clean. No mystery about what you’re paying for.

We handle main sewer lines, kitchen drains clogged with grease, bathroom drains slow from hair and soap buildup, and floor drains that haven’t worked properly in years. Our equipment removes tree roots, mineral deposits, and decades of accumulated debris that regular snaking can’t touch.

You’ll get upfront pricing before we start, and we guarantee our work. If the hydro jetting doesn’t solve your drainage problem, we’ll make it right. Most customers see immediate improvement in water flow and don’t have recurring issues with the same drains.

Most hydro jetting jobs take 1-3 hours depending on the severity of the blockage and length of pipe being cleaned. We start with a camera inspection to assess the situation, which takes about 30 minutes. The actual hydro jetting process varies based on how much buildup we’re removing. Simple drain clogs might take an hour, while heavily blocked main sewer lines can take several hours. We’ll give you a time estimate after the initial inspection so you know what to expect.
Yes, when done by trained professionals with proper equipment. We adjust water pressure based on your pipe material and condition. That’s why the camera inspection comes first – we need to see what we’re working with before applying any pressure. Older cast iron pipes get lower pressure than newer PVC systems. If we spot pipes that are too deteriorated for hydro jetting, we’ll tell you upfront and suggest alternative solutions. The goal is to clean your pipes, not damage them.
No, hydro jetting is done through existing access points like cleanouts and drain openings. We don’t need to dig up your yard or tear into walls. The high-pressure water stays contained within your existing pipe system. Any debris that gets flushed out goes directly into the sewer system where it belongs. We protect your floors and surrounding areas during the process, and we clean up completely when we’re finished. Your property looks exactly the same when we leave.
Hydro jetting typically costs more upfront than basic snaking, but it saves money long-term because it actually solves the problem. Regular drain cleaning just pokes a hole through blockages, so you end up calling for service again in a few months. Hydro jetting removes the entire buildup, so most customers don’t have recurring issues with the same drains. We provide upfront pricing after the camera inspection so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start any work.
Hydro jetting removes grease buildup that coats pipe walls, mineral deposits from hard water, soap scum and hair that forms thick mats, small tree roots growing into pipe joints, and years of accumulated debris that narrows your pipes. Traditional snaking just punches through the center of blockages, leaving most of the buildup stuck to pipe walls. That’s why clogs come back so quickly after snaking. Hydro jetting scours the entire interior surface clean, restoring full pipe diameter and water flow.
Most homes benefit from hydro jetting every 2-3 years as preventive maintenance, but it depends on your usage and pipe condition. Homes with heavy cooking and grease disposal might need it more frequently. Older homes with cast iron pipes often need it less often once the initial buildup is removed. We’ll give you a realistic recommendation based on what we see during the camera inspection. Many customers find that one thorough hydro jetting session eliminates problems they’ve been dealing with for years.
