When your drains finally work the way they should, everything changes. No more standing water in your kitchen sink while you’re trying to get dinner ready. No more worrying about that slow bathroom drain backing up during your morning routine.

Hydro jetting doesn’t just poke a hole through the clog like snaking does. It completely clears years of grease buildup, soap scum, hair, and even tree roots that have been choking your pipes. You get pipes that are actually clean inside, not just temporarily unclogged.

The difference is immediate and lasting. Most homeowners in Burnham tell us their drains work better than they have in years. That’s because we’re not just treating symptoms – we’re solving the underlying problem that keeps causing those recurring clogs.

Hydro Jet Drain Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your pipes with a specialized camera to locate the blockage and assess your pipe condition. This video inspection shows us exactly what we’re dealing with and ensures your pipes can handle the hydro jetting process safely.

Next, we position our high-pressure hydro jetting equipment and feed the specialized hose into your drain system. We use water pressure between 3,000-4,000 PSI – that’s powerful enough to cut through tree roots and blast away years of buildup that regular drain cleaning can’t touch.

The high-pressure water jets work in all directions, scrubbing your pipe walls completely clean while flushing everything downstream. After we’re done, we perform a final camera inspection to confirm your pipes are clear and flowing properly. Most jobs take about an hour from start to finish.

Burnham Hydro Jetting Services

What You Get With Our Service

Our hydro jetting service includes everything you need for completely clear drains. We start with a thorough camera inspection to identify the problem and make sure your pipes can handle the process. Then we perform the actual hydro jetting using professional-grade equipment that delivers up to 4,000 PSI of cleaning power.

For Burnham homeowners, this service is particularly valuable because many homes in the area deal with older plumbing systems and the mineral-heavy water that’s common in Cook County. These conditions create the perfect environment for stubborn buildup that regular drain cleaning methods just can’t handle effectively.

We also include a follow-up camera inspection to document that your pipes are completely clear. You’ll see the difference for yourself. Most of our Burnham customers are amazed at how much buildup was actually in their pipes and how much better everything flows afterward.

Hydro jetting in Burnham typically costs between $600-1,500 for residential service, depending on the severity of your blockage and your pipe system’s complexity. This might seem like more than basic drain cleaning, but it’s actually more cost-effective in the long run. Unlike snaking that just pokes a hole through clogs, hydro jetting completely clears your pipes so problems don’t come back every few months. Most of our Burnham customers find they save money over time because they’re not calling for repeated drain cleanings. We always provide upfront pricing before we start any work, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying. No surprises, no hidden fees – just honest pricing for thorough work that actually solves the problem.
Yes, when performed by experienced professionals like our team, hydro jetting is safe for most pipe systems. However, we never assume – we always inspect your pipes with a camera first to assess their condition and make sure they can handle the pressure. This pre-inspection is especially important in Burnham because many homes have older plumbing systems. If we find that your pipes are too fragile for hydro jetting, we’ll recommend alternative solutions that will be effective without risking damage to your system. Our technicians have years of experience working with all types of pipe materials and conditions. We adjust our approach based on what your specific system needs, ensuring you get the best possible results safely.
Most hydro jetting jobs in Burnham take about an hour from start to finish. This includes the initial camera inspection, the actual hydro jetting process, and the follow-up inspection to confirm everything is working properly. The exact time can vary depending on how extensive your blockage is and how much buildup we need to clear out. Severely clogged systems might take a bit longer, while routine maintenance cleaning usually goes faster. What’s important is that we don’t rush the process. We take the time needed to do the job thoroughly so you get lasting results. Most customers are surprised at how quickly we can completely transform their drain performance.
Hydro jetting can handle almost any type of blockage you’re likely to encounter in Burnham homes. This includes grease buildup from kitchen drains, hair and soap scum from bathroom drains, mineral deposits from hard water, and even tree roots that have grown into your sewer lines. The high-pressure water is powerful enough to cut through tree roots and blast away years of accumulated buildup that other methods can’t touch. It’s particularly effective for the tough, stubborn clogs that keep coming back no matter how many times you’ve had them snaked. If you’re dealing with recurring drain problems or multiple slow drains throughout your home, hydro jetting can usually solve all these issues in one service call by addressing the underlying cause rather than just the symptoms.
For most Burnham homeowners, hydro jetting every 2-3 years is sufficient to keep drains flowing smoothly and prevent major blockages. However, the frequency depends on your specific situation and how you use your plumbing. If you have a large family, do a lot of cooking, or have older pipes, you might benefit from more frequent service. Commercial kitchens and restaurants typically need hydro jetting annually due to heavy grease and food particle buildup. We can help you determine the right schedule based on your home’s specific needs. Many of our customers choose to set up regular maintenance appointments because it’s much more convenient and cost-effective than dealing with emergency blockages.
Hydro jetting provides a complete cleaning that other methods simply can’t match. While snaking just pokes a hole through the blockage, hydro jetting removes the entire buildup from your pipe walls, leaving them clean and smooth like when they were new. This thorough cleaning means your drains stay clear much longer. Most of our Burnham customers find their drains work better after hydro jetting than they have in years, and they don’t need service calls nearly as often. Hydro jetting is also environmentally friendly since it uses only water – no harsh chemicals that can damage your pipes or harm the environment. For stubborn, recurring clogs, it’s often the only method that provides a permanent solution.
