Twenty Years Solving Glenwood's Toughest Clogs

We’ve been serving Glenwood and Cook County since 2001. We know the specific challenges this area faces – from mineral-rich water to aging infrastructure to dense landscaping that sends roots into sewer lines.

Hydro Jet Cleaning Process Glenwood

Complete Pipe Cleaning in Four Steps

First, we inspect your pipes with a video camera to locate the blockage and assess your pipe condition. This tells us exactly what we’re dealing with and ensures hydro jetting is the right approach for your specific situation.

Next, we insert a specialized nozzle into your drain that’s connected to our high-pressure water system. The nozzle sends pressurized water streams in all directions – forward to break through clogs and backward to flush everything out.

The water pressure ranges from 3,000 to 8,000 PSI, powerful enough to cut through tree roots, dissolve years of grease buildup, and blast away mineral deposits that coat your pipe walls. Unlike snaking, which just pokes a hole through blockages, hydro jetting removes the entire obstruction.

Finally, we run another camera inspection to verify your pipes are completely clear and water flows freely. You see the before and after, so you know the job is done right.

What Your Hydro Jetting Service Includes

Your hydro jetting service starts with a thorough video inspection to identify the exact problem and pipe condition. We don’t guess – we know what we’re dealing with before we start.

Glenwood’s aging infrastructure means many homes have pipes that have accumulated decades of buildup. Our hydro jetting removes grease from kitchen drains, soap scum from bathroom lines, and mineral deposits that are common with the area’s hard water. We also clear tree root intrusions that are frequent in this heavily wooded community.

The service includes complete pipe cleaning from your drain opening to the main sewer connection. We clear not just the blockage, but also the coating of debris that causes future clogs. Most customers find their drains stay clear for years, not months, because we address the root cause.

Every job includes upfront pricing, a follow-up inspection to confirm complete cleaning, and our one-year warranty on the work performed.

How is hydro jetting different from regular drain snaking?

Drain snaking pushes a cable through your clog to create a hole for water to flow. But it leaves most of the buildup coating your pipe walls, which means clogs come back quickly – often within weeks or months. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water streams to completely remove the clog and scour your pipe walls clean. Instead of just poking a hole through the problem, it eliminates the grease, soap scum, mineral deposits, and debris that cause recurring blockages. The result is pipes that stay clear for years instead of months. Most of our hydro jetting customers don’t need another service call for 2-3 years, while snaked drains often clog again within 6 months.

Is hydro jetting safe for older pipes in Glenwood homes?

We always start with a video camera inspection to assess your pipe condition before recommending hydro jetting. This shows us if your pipes can handle the water pressure or if a gentler approach is needed. For pipes in good structural condition, hydro jetting is completely safe and actually extends pipe life by removing corrosive buildup. The water pressure is adjustable, so we use only what’s necessary for effective cleaning. If we find pipes that are too fragile for hydro jetting, we’ll recommend alternative solutions and explain why. We never risk damaging your plumbing to clear a clog – that just creates bigger problems and higher costs down the road.

What types of clogs does hydro jetting work best on?

Hydro jetting excels at clearing the stubborn clogs that snaking can’t handle completely. This includes heavy grease buildup from kitchen drains, tree roots that have invaded sewer lines, and mineral deposits from Glenwood’s hard water. It’s particularly effective for recurring clogs that keep coming back every few months. These are usually caused by coating buildup on pipe walls that snaking leaves behind. Hydro jetting removes this coating entirely. Commercial kitchens, homes with frequent drain problems, and properties with older plumbing systems see the biggest benefit. If you’re calling for drain cleaning more than once a year, hydro jetting typically provides a permanent solution that saves money long-term.

How long do results from hydro jetting typically last?

Most residential customers don’t need another drain cleaning service for 2-3 years after hydro jetting, compared to 6-12 months with traditional snaking. The exact timeframe depends on your usage patterns and what goes down your drains. Commercial properties with heavy grease production, like restaurants, typically schedule hydro jetting every 6-12 months as preventive maintenance. This prevents emergency backups that can shut down operations. The key difference is that hydro jetting addresses the root cause of recurring clogs – the buildup coating your pipe walls. When that’s completely removed, it takes much longer for new accumulation to reach problem levels.

Can hydro jetting clear tree roots from sewer lines?

Yes, hydro jetting is highly effective at cutting through tree roots that have invaded sewer lines. The high-pressure water can slice through root masses that would be difficult or impossible to clear with traditional snaking. Glenwood’s mature trees and dense landscaping make root intrusion a common problem for sewer lines. Hydro jetting not only cuts through existing roots but also removes the debris and organic matter that attracts new root growth. However, if roots have caused significant pipe damage, hydro jetting alone may not be a permanent solution. We use camera inspection to assess the extent of root damage and recommend additional repairs if needed to prevent future intrusions.

What's the cost difference between hydro jetting and snaking?

Hydro jetting typically costs more upfront than snaking, but it’s usually more cost-effective long-term because it lasts much longer. When you factor in the frequency of service calls, hydro jetting often saves money over time. Snaking might cost less initially, but if you need drain cleaning every 6-12 months, those costs add up quickly. Hydro jetting customers typically go 2-3 years between service calls, which means fewer disruptions and lower total costs. We provide upfront pricing for both services so you can make an informed decision. For recurring drain problems or severe blockages, hydro jetting usually provides better value because it solves the problem completely rather than just temporarily.
