Professional Hydro Jet Services

What Hydro Jetting Actually Does

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water streams to completely scour your pipes clean. Unlike snaking, which just pokes holes through blockages, hydro jetting removes everything—grease, soap buildup, mineral deposits, and even tree roots.

This isn’t your basic drain cleaning. It’s a complete pipe restoration that gets your drains flowing like new and keeps them that way for months or even years longer than traditional methods.

Sewer Line Hydro Jetting

Built for Chicago's Toughest Blockages

Here’s what most people don’t realize: snaking just punches a hole through blockages. The grease, soap scum, and debris stay stuck to your pipe walls, building up again within weeks or months.

Hydro jetting actually strips your pipes clean. The high-pressure water scours away years of accumulation, giving you a fresh start. That’s why customers who switch to hydro jetting go months or years between service calls instead of calling us every few months.

Chicago’s older sewer systems especially benefit from this thorough cleaning because decades of buildup can’t be removed any other way.

Hydro Jetting FAQs

Common questions about our Hydro Jetting services

Hydro jetting typically keeps drains clear 3-5 times longer than snaking. While snaking might give you 2-6 months of relief, hydro jetting often provides 1-3 years of trouble-free drainage. The difference comes down to thoroughness—snaking just opens a hole through blockages, while hydro jetting removes the buildup entirely. For heavily used drains or commercial properties, you might need annual hydro jetting, but that’s still far less frequent than the quarterly or monthly snaking many properties require.
When performed by experienced professionals, hydro jetting is safe for most pipe materials, including Chicago’s common clay and cast iron systems. We always start with video inspection to assess pipe condition and adjust pressure accordingly. Severely deteriorated pipes that would be damaged by hydro jetting are usually already failing and need replacement anyway. The key is proper pressure control and using the right nozzles for your specific pipe material and condition. We’ve safely cleaned thousands of Chicago’s older sewer lines without damage.
Hydro jetting removes grease buildup, soap scum, mineral deposits, sand, sludge, and even small tree roots that snaking leaves behind. It’s particularly effective on restaurant grease lines, laundry room drains clogged with lint and soap, and main sewer lines with years of accumulated debris. Snaking works well for simple clogs like hair or paper, but it can’t remove the sticky, coating-type blockages that cause recurring problems. If you’re calling for drain cleaning every few months, you likely have buildup that only hydro jetting can eliminate.
Hydro jetting costs more upfront than snaking, but it’s usually more economical long-term. A typical hydro jetting service might cost 2-3 times more than snaking, but it lasts 3-5 times longer. If you’re paying for drain cleaning every 3-6 months, annual hydro jetting often saves money while eliminating the recurring hassle. For commercial properties especially, the reduced service calls and avoided emergency situations make hydro jetting a smart investment. We provide upfront pricing so you can compare the long-term costs yourself.
Yes, we provide emergency hydro jetting services throughout Chicago and the surrounding areas. Sewage backups require immediate attention to prevent property damage and health hazards. Our emergency crews carry portable hydro jetting equipment and can often clear blockages that emergency snaking cannot handle. We’re available 24/7 for true emergencies, though we recommend calling as soon as you notice slow drainage or gurgling sounds to avoid emergency situations entirely. Prevention is always less expensive and stressful than emergency cleanup.
Consider hydro jetting if you’re calling for drain cleaning more than twice per year, dealing with persistent odors, or experiencing slow drainage even after recent snaking. Multiple fixtures backing up simultaneously usually indicates main line buildup that needs hydro jetting. Commercial properties with grease, restaurants, apartment buildings, and older Chicago homes often benefit from hydro jetting’s thorough cleaning. We can assess your situation with video inspection and recommend the most cost-effective approach based on your specific blockage type and pipe condition.
