Professional Drain Jetting Midlothian

Your Pipes Flow Like New Again

When your drains are backing up and nothing seems to work, you need more than a quick fix. You need your pipes completely clean.

Hydro jetting blasts away years of buildup at pressures up to 3,000 PSI. Unlike snaking that just pokes holes through clogs, this process scours the entire pipe diameter clean. Tree roots, grease, mineral deposits—all of it gets flushed out completely.

You’ll notice the difference immediately. Water flows freely again. Multiple drains stop backing up. Those foul odors disappear. And the best part? This thorough cleaning prevents future clogs from forming as quickly, so you’re not dealing with the same problems month after month.

We Know Midlothian's Plumbing Challenges

We’ve been serving Cook County since 2001, and we’ve seen every plumbing problem Midlothian throws at us. The tree-lined streets that make this suburb beautiful? Those same mature trees send roots straight into sewer lines.

We’re a family-owned company that understands local challenges. Midlothian’s aging infrastructure and clay soil conditions create unique problems that require experienced solutions. That’s why we invested in professional-grade hydro jetting equipment—not the lightweight units some companies use, but full-sized trailer jetters that deliver the pressure needed to handle serious blockages.

When you call us, you’re getting plumbers who know exactly what works in Midlothian homes and what doesn’t.

Hydro Jet Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your pipes with a video camera to see exactly what we’re dealing with. This shows us the location and severity of blockages, plus whether your pipes can handle high-pressure cleaning.

Next, we access your sewer line through a cleanout or toilet and insert a specialized hose connected to our jetter truck. The hose has a nozzle that shoots water in multiple directions—forward to break up clogs and backward to flush debris toward the main sewer.

Then we gradually increase water pressure, starting gentle and building up to whatever’s needed. Most residential jobs require 1,500-3,000 PSI, which is enough to cut through tree roots and scour away decades of buildup.

Finally, we run another camera inspection to confirm everything is flowing properly. You’ll see the difference immediately when you run water—it drains fast and stays that way.

Hydro jetting typically costs between $350-$600 for most residential jobs in Midlothian, though the exact price depends on the severity of your blockage and how accessible your sewer line is. We provide free estimates and upfront pricing, so you’ll know the exact cost before we start any work. The investment is worth it because hydro jetting provides a more thorough, longer-lasting solution than traditional drain cleaning methods. Many homeowners find that spending a bit more upfront saves money long-term by preventing frequent service calls for recurring clogs.
We always inspect your pipes with a video camera before hydro jetting to ensure they can handle the pressure. Most pipes, even older ones, are strong enough for professional hydro jetting when done correctly. However, severely damaged or deteriorating pipes might not be good candidates for high-pressure cleaning. If we find issues during the inspection, we’ll recommend the safest approach for your specific situation. Our experienced technicians know how to adjust pressure levels appropriately for different pipe materials and conditions. We’d rather be conservative and keep your pipes intact than cause damage by being too aggressive.
For most Midlothian homes, hydro jetting every 18-24 months provides good preventive maintenance. However, homes with large trees nearby might benefit from annual service due to the higher risk of root intrusion. If you frequently deal with slow drains, recurring clogs, or foul odors, you might need more frequent cleaning until we get ahead of the buildup. Commercial properties typically need service more often due to higher usage. The frequency also depends on what goes down your drains. Homes that dispose of grease or have garbage disposals often need more frequent cleaning than those that are careful about what enters the system.
Multiple drains backing up at the same time is a clear sign you need professional cleaning. When your kitchen sink, bathroom drains, and toilet all start having problems, it usually means your main sewer line is blocked. Other warning signs include gurgling sounds from drains, sewage odors coming from fixtures, and water backing up in floor drains or the lowest fixtures in your home. These all indicate blockages in your main line that require more than basic drain cleaning. If you’ve had the same drain professionally cleaned multiple times in a short period, hydro jetting can address the underlying buildup that keeps causing problems.
Yes, hydro jetting is highly effective at cutting through and removing tree roots from sewer lines. The high-pressure water can slice through root masses and flush the debris out of your pipes. Tree root intrusion is particularly common in Midlothian due to the mature trees throughout the area. Roots seek out the moisture in sewer lines and can create serious blockages if left untreated. While hydro jetting removes existing roots, it’s important to address the source of the problem. We can recommend root barriers or other preventive measures to reduce future root intrusion after cleaning your lines.
Most residential hydro jetting jobs take 1-3 hours to complete, including the initial video inspection and final verification. Simple blockages might be cleared in under an hour, while extensive buildup or multiple problem areas can take longer. The time depends on factors like how accessible your sewer cleanout is, the length of your sewer line, and the severity of blockages we encounter. We’ll give you a time estimate after the initial inspection. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your day, and most jobs can be completed in a single visit. You’ll be able to use your plumbing normally as soon as we’re finished.
