What Hydro Jetting Actually Does

Your drains flow like new again. No more slow drainage, no more recurring backups, no more emergency calls when you least expect them.

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water streams to completely scour your pipes clean. Unlike snaking that just pokes holes through clogs, this process removes the entire buildup coating your pipe walls. Grease, soap scum, hair, food particles, and even tree roots get blasted away.

You get months or years of trouble-free drainage instead of temporary fixes. Your kitchen sink empties fast, your shower doesn’t flood, and your basement stays dry during heavy rains.

Hydro Jet Plumbing Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we inspect your drain system to locate the blockage and assess your pipe condition. A small camera often goes down first so we know exactly what we’re dealing with.

Next, we insert a specialized nozzle connected to our high-pressure water system. The nozzle shoots water in multiple directions at pressures up to 4,000 PSI, scouring every inch of your pipe walls clean.

The process typically takes 30 minutes to two hours depending on the severity of buildup. You’ll see the difference immediately when we test your drains afterward. Water flows fast and clear, and that sluggish drainage becomes a memory.

Most residential properties benefit from hydro jetting every 18-24 months as preventative maintenance. However, the frequency depends on your usage patterns and what goes down your drains. Homes with large families, frequent cooking, or older plumbing systems may need service annually. Commercial properties typically require more frequent cleaning due to higher usage. If you’re dealing with recurring clogs every few months, annual hydro jetting usually breaks that cycle and keeps your drains flowing smoothly year-round.
Yes, when performed by experienced professionals using proper pressure settings. We always start with a camera inspection to assess your pipe condition before beginning any hydro jetting work. Modern equipment allows us to adjust water pressure based on your specific pipe material and age. Clay, cast iron, and PVC pipes all require different approaches. Many Streamwood homes have older sewer systems that actually benefit from gentle hydro jetting because it removes corrosive buildup that’s damaging the pipes. We’ve successfully cleaned pipes that are decades old without causing any damage.
Hydro jetting removes grease buildup, soap scum, mineral deposits, food particles, hair clumps, and even small tree roots that coat your pipe walls. Traditional snaking just pokes holes through blockages, leaving most of the buildup behind. That’s why your drains clog again within weeks or months. Hydro jetting actually scours the entire pipe diameter clean, removing the coating that catches debris and causes recurring problems. It’s particularly effective on kitchen drains with grease buildup and bathroom drains with soap and hair accumulation that snaking can’t address.
Hydro jetting typically costs more upfront than basic snaking, but it saves money long-term by eliminating recurring service calls. Most homeowners spend $150-300 on multiple snaking visits per year when dealing with persistent clogs. A single hydro jetting service usually provides 12-24 months of trouble-free drainage. When you factor in the cost of emergency calls, water damage risk, and lost time dealing with backups, hydro jetting often pays for itself within the first year. We provide upfront pricing so you can make an informed decision based on your specific situation.
Absolutely. Sewer hydro jetting is one of the most effective solutions for main line blockages, especially those caused by tree root intrusion or decades of buildup. Our equipment can handle residential sewer lines from 3 inches to 8 inches in diameter. We often clear blockages that have been causing multiple drain backups throughout the house. The high-pressure water cuts through tree roots and removes the organic debris that attracts roots back to the same spot. Many Streamwood homes have mature trees whose roots seek out sewer lines, making hydro jetting an essential maintenance tool.
Most residential hydro jetting jobs take 1-3 hours from start to finish, including initial inspection and final testing. Simple kitchen or bathroom drain cleaning might take just 30-60 minutes, while main sewer line cleaning with heavy buildup can take 2-3 hours. The timeline depends on the extent of blockage, pipe length, and access points. We always start with a camera inspection to give you an accurate time estimate before beginning work. Emergency situations may take longer if we’re dealing with multiple blockages or need to locate access points, but we work efficiently to restore your drainage as quickly as possible.
