Hydro Jetting Process Hodgkins

Clear Pipes in Three Simple Steps

First, we inspect your pipes with a specialized camera to locate blockages and assess pipe condition. This isn’t optional – it’s essential for safe, effective hydro jetting. We need to know exactly what we’re dealing with before we start.

Next, we position our high-pressure equipment and insert the hydro jetting hose into your drain line. Water shoots through at pressures up to 4,000 PSI through specially designed nozzles that scour every inch of your pipe’s interior. The force is powerful enough to cut through tree roots and dissolve years of grease buildup.

Finally, we perform a post-cleaning inspection to verify complete clearing and show you the results. You’ll see the difference immediately – water flows faster, drains empty completely, and that gurgling sound disappears. Most jobs are completed the same day, and you’ll have pipes that stay clear for years instead of months.

Hydro Jet Drain Cleaning Hodgkins

What You Get With Our Service

Our hydro jetting service includes everything you need for completely clear pipes. You get a thorough camera inspection before and after cleaning, so you can see exactly what was causing your problems and verify they’re completely resolved.

We use only professional-grade equipment – full-sized trailer jetters that deliver consistent pressure and flow rates. This isn’t a handheld unit or lightweight machine. The difference in cleaning power is substantial, especially for Hodgkins homes dealing with the tree root intrusion common in this area.

Every service comes with upfront pricing, same-day availability, and our satisfaction guarantee. We’re available 24/7 for emergencies because pipe backups don’t wait for business hours. For Hodgkins residents dealing with recurring drain issues, we often recommend annual hydro jetting to prevent future problems – it’s far more cost-effective than emergency calls.

Hydro jetting typically costs between $350-$1,000 depending on the severity of your blockage and the length of pipe that needs cleaning. While this is more expensive upfront than snaking ($100-$250), it provides much longer-lasting results. Most Hodgkins customers find hydro jetting saves money over time because it prevents recurring clogs that require repeated service calls. When you factor in the cost of multiple snaking sessions over a few years, hydro jetting often costs less overall while providing superior results. We always provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. Many customers are surprised to find our rates are competitive with other local companies, despite our superior equipment and experience.
Hydro jetting is safe for most pipe systems when performed by experienced professionals using proper techniques. However, very old or damaged pipes may not withstand the high pressure, which is why we always start with a camera inspection. Our camera inspection identifies any cracks, weak spots, or deteriorated sections before we begin hydro jetting. If we find pipes that are too fragile, we’ll recommend alternative solutions or necessary repairs first. This preventive approach protects your plumbing system from damage. For Hodgkins homes with newer PVC or well-maintained cast iron pipes, hydro jetting is completely safe and highly effective. The key is working with experienced professionals who understand when and how to use this powerful cleaning method appropriately.
For most residential properties in Hodgkins, we recommend hydro jetting every 18-24 months as preventive maintenance. However, the frequency depends on your specific situation – homes with large trees nearby or heavy kitchen use may need it more often. Commercial properties or multi-unit buildings typically require hydro jetting once or twice per year due to higher usage and grease accumulation. We’ve serviced several Hodgkins businesses that now schedule regular maintenance to avoid emergency backups. The goal is preventing problems rather than reacting to them. Regular hydro jetting costs less than emergency service calls and keeps your plumbing system running smoothly. We can assess your specific needs and recommend an appropriate maintenance schedule during your service.
Hydro jetting excels at removing grease buildup, mineral deposits, tree roots, and accumulated debris that snaking simply pushes through or leaves behind. While snaking creates a hole through blockages, hydro jetting completely clears the pipe interior. Tree root intrusion is particularly common in Hodgkins due to mature landscaping, and hydro jetting can cut through roots that would stop a snake cold. It also removes the grease and sludge buildup that causes recurring kitchen drain problems – something snaking can’t address effectively. For pipes with years of accumulated buildup, hydro jetting restores full flow capacity rather than just creating a small opening. This is why customers see such dramatic improvement in drain performance compared to traditional snaking methods.
Professional hydro jetting is performed entirely through existing drain access points and cleanouts, so there’s no digging or disruption to your landscaping. The process is completely contained within your pipe system. Unlike some drain cleaning methods that require excavation, hydro jetting accesses your pipes through the same openings used for snaking. We position our equipment on driveways or other hard surfaces to avoid any damage to lawns or landscaping. The only visible activity is our truck and equipment setup. Once we’re finished, you’ll have clear drains without any property damage or cleanup needed. This non-invasive approach is one of the key advantages of hydro jetting over more disruptive plumbing solutions.
Most residential hydro jetting jobs in Hodgkins take 2-4 hours to complete, including the initial camera inspection and final verification. The actual jetting process is relatively quick, but we take time to ensure thorough cleaning and proper assessment. Simple blockages may be resolved in under two hours, while extensive buildup or multiple problem areas can take longer. We never rush the process because thorough cleaning is what delivers the long-lasting results our customers expect. Same-day service is available for most situations, and we can often schedule next-day appointments for non-emergency situations. Our goal is getting your drains flowing properly as quickly as possible while ensuring the job is done right the first time.
