Professional Hydro Jetting Services

What Happens When Your Drains Actually Work

Your drains flow like they did when your house was new. No more standing water in your shower or kitchen sink that takes forever to empty. No more worrying about backups when you run the dishwasher and washing machine at the same time.

The gurgling sounds stop. The slow drainage that’s been getting worse for months is gone. You can actually use your plumbing system without constantly thinking about whether it’s going to cause problems.

This is what happens when hydro jetting removes the grease, soap buildup, and debris that’s been accumulating in your pipes for years. Your plumbing works the way it’s supposed to work.

Hydro Jet Plumbing Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your drain with a camera to see exactly what we’re dealing with. This shows us the type of blockage, its location, and the condition of your pipes. No guessing, no surprises.

Next, we insert the hydro jetting nozzle into your drain line. The high-pressure water stream – up to 4,000 PSI – cuts through grease, soap scum, mineral deposits, and even tree roots. The water pressure is adjustable based on your pipe material and the severity of the blockage.

The debris gets flushed downstream and out of your system completely. We follow up with another camera inspection to confirm everything is clear and check for any pipe issues that need attention. You see the before and after footage yourself.

Hydro Jetting Drain Cleaning

What's Included in Our Service

Every hydro jetting service includes a complete camera inspection before we start work. This isn’t an upsell – it’s how we determine the right approach for your specific situation. You need to know what’s causing the problem before you can fix it properly.

We bring commercial-grade hydro jetting equipment that can handle residential and commercial applications. Our nozzles are designed for different types of blockages, from grease buildup in kitchen lines to root intrusion in sewer lines.

You get a clear explanation of what we found, what we’re doing to fix it, and recommendations for preventing future problems. Many Wheaton homes benefit from periodic hydro jetting as preventive maintenance, especially properties with mature landscaping or older plumbing systems.

Drain snaking pokes a hole through blockages, but hydro jetting completely removes the buildup from your pipe walls. Think of snaking like poking a hole through a clogged artery – it creates temporary flow but doesn’t address the underlying problem. Hydro jetting is like power washing the inside of your pipes, removing years of grease, soap scum, and mineral deposits that snaking leaves behind. This is why hydro jetting results last much longer and why your drains flow better afterward. For recurring drain problems or slow drainage throughout your home, hydro jetting addresses the root cause instead of just treating symptoms.
Professional hydro jetting is safe for most residential plumbing when done correctly. We adjust water pressure based on your pipe material and condition – older cast iron pipes get different treatment than newer PVC. The camera inspection we do first shows us exactly what we’re working with, including any areas where pipes might be compromised. If your pipes are too fragile for hydro jetting, we’ll tell you upfront and recommend alternatives. The water pressure we use is controlled and directed, not random blasting. We’ve been doing this in Wheaton area homes for years without pipe damage when proper techniques are used.
Most residential hydro jetting results last 1-3 years, depending on your household’s usage patterns and what caused the original blockage. Homes with heavy grease usage or properties with tree root intrusion may need more frequent service. Kitchen drains that handle a lot of cooking grease typically need attention sooner than bathroom drains. The advantage of hydro jetting is that it removes buildup so thoroughly that it takes much longer for problems to return compared to snaking. Many of our Wheaton customers schedule preventive hydro jetting every 18-24 months to avoid emergency situations entirely. Regular maintenance is always less expensive than emergency calls.
Yes, hydro jetting effectively cuts through tree roots that have grown into sewer lines. The high-pressure water stream can cut roots and flush the debris out of your system. However, hydro jetting doesn’t prevent roots from growing back – it’s a maintenance solution, not a permanent fix for root intrusion. If you have significant root problems, you may need periodic hydro jetting combined with root treatment or eventually pipe repair in problem areas. We’ll show you exactly what we find during the camera inspection and give you realistic expectations about how often you might need service. Many Wheaton properties with mature trees benefit from annual or bi-annual hydro jetting to stay ahead of root growth.
Hydro jetting typically costs more upfront than basic snaking, but it’s often more cost-effective long-term because results last much longer. Instead of calling for drain cleaning every few months, most customers go years between services. The exact cost depends on the severity of your blockage, the length of pipe that needs cleaning, and accessibility factors. We provide upfront pricing after the camera inspection shows us what we’re dealing with. When you factor in the extended results and the prevention of emergency situations, hydro jetting usually saves money over time. It’s also much less expensive than pipe replacement, which may be necessary if drainage problems cause ongoing backups and damage.
Yes, we provide emergency hydro jetting services for severe blockages and sewage backups in Wheaton and surrounding DuPage County areas. Emergency situations like main sewer line blockages or multiple drain backups often require immediate hydro jetting to prevent property damage and health hazards. We carry hydro jetting equipment on our service trucks specifically for these situations. However, many emergency drain problems can be prevented with periodic maintenance hydro jetting before blockages become critical. If you’re dealing with an emergency backup situation right now, call us immediately. For non-emergency situations, we can schedule service at your convenience and often provide better pricing for planned maintenance versus emergency calls.
