Hydro Jetting Process Norridge

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your line with a camera to see what we’re dealing with. Tree roots? Grease buildup? Collapsed sections? This tells us the best approach and prevents any surprises.

Next, we insert a specialized hose with a high-pressure nozzle into your drain. Water blasts out at thousands of pounds of pressure, cutting through clogs and scouring the pipe walls clean. The debris gets flushed out through your main sewer line.

Finally, we run the camera through again to confirm everything’s clear. You’ll see the before and after footage yourself—it’s pretty impressive how much cleaner your pipes look when we’re done.

Hydro Jet Cleaning Norridge

What Makes This Different

Hydro jetting works where snaking fails. A snake just pokes a hole through the blockage—hydro jetting removes the entire problem. That’s why your drains stay clear longer.

In Norridge, we see a lot of tree root intrusion because of the mature landscaping. Clay pipes from older homes are especially vulnerable. Hydro jetting can cut through roots and remove them completely, something traditional methods can’t do.

The process is also environmentally safe—no chemicals, just high-pressure water. It’s tough on clogs but won’t damage your pipes when done by trained professionals. Most jobs take just a few hours, and you’ll have full water flow restored the same day.

How much does hydro jetting cost in Norridge, IL?

Most hydro jetting jobs in Norridge run between $600 and $1,500, depending on the severity of the blockage and length of pipe that needs cleaning. We always provide upfront pricing before starting any work. The cost might seem higher than snaking, but hydro jetting lasts much longer. Instead of calling us back every few months for the same clog, most customers go years without needing service again. When you factor in the prevention of future problems, it’s actually more cost-effective. Emergency or after-hours service may cost more, but we’ll always tell you the exact price before we start. No surprises on your bill.

Can hydro jetting damage my old pipes in Norridge?

When performed by trained professionals, hydro jetting is safe for most pipe materials, including the clay and cast iron pipes common in older Norridge homes. We always inspect your pipes with a camera first to check for cracks or weak spots. If your pipes are severely damaged, we’ll recommend repair before hydro jetting. The camera inspection shows us exactly what condition your pipes are in, so we can adjust our approach accordingly. Proper technique and the right pressure settings protect your plumbing. That’s why experience matters. Our technicians know how to read pipe conditions and use the appropriate pressure for each situation. We’ve been doing this in Cook County for over 20 years without causing pipe damage.

How long does hydro jetting take to complete?

Most residential hydro jetting jobs in Norridge take 2-4 hours from start to finish. This includes the initial camera inspection, the actual jetting process, and the final inspection to confirm everything’s clear. Complex blockages or longer sewer lines might take a bit longer. If we find multiple problem areas or severe root intrusion, we’ll explain what’s needed and give you a time estimate before proceeding. The actual jetting usually goes pretty quickly—it’s the inspection and setup that take time. But this thorough approach means the job gets done right the first time, and your drains stay clear for years.

Will hydro jetting remove tree roots from my sewer line?

Yes, hydro jetting is extremely effective at cutting through and removing tree roots. The high-pressure water can slice through root masses that would stop a traditional snake cold. This is especially important in Norridge where mature trees are common. We see root problems frequently in this area, particularly with the older clay sewer lines. Tree roots seek out water and can infiltrate even small cracks in pipes. Once inside, they grow into major blockages that only hydro jetting can fully remove. After clearing the roots, we often recommend root treatment or pipe lining to prevent them from coming back. But the hydro jetting gets your line flowing immediately and removes all the root material that’s been building up.

How often should I have hydro jetting done?

For most Norridge homes, hydro jetting every 3-5 years is sufficient for preventive maintenance. Homes with large trees nearby or frequent grease disposal might need it more often—every 1-2 years. If you’re currently dealing with slow drains, recurring clogs, or bad odors, you need it now. Once we get your pipes clean, you can switch to a maintenance schedule to keep them that way. Commercial properties or homes with heavy usage typically need more frequent service. We’ll give you a recommendation based on what we find during your initial service and your specific situation.

Is hydro jetting better than snaking for drain cleaning?

Hydro jetting is far more thorough than snaking. A snake just pokes a hole through the blockage—hydro jetting removes the entire buildup from the pipe walls. That’s why snaked drains often clog again within months, while hydro jetted lines stay clear for years. Snaking works fine for simple clogs like hair or small objects. But for grease buildup, mineral deposits, or tree roots—common problems in Norridge—hydro jetting is the only method that really solves the problem. Think of snaking as a temporary fix and hydro jetting as a complete cleaning. If you’re tired of dealing with the same drain problems over and over, hydro jetting breaks that cycle and gives you long-term results.
