Hydro Jetting in Algonquin, IL
If your line clogs again a few months after every rodding, the pipe walls are still coated. Hydro jetting cleans them back to bare pipe with high-pressure water. We camera the line first and give you a flat price before we start. From our office on Esplanade Drive.
The Basics
What Is Hydro Jetting?
Hydro jetting clears a sewer line with a high-pressure water stream, fed through the same cleanout access point used for rodding. A specialized nozzle sprays water in every direction as it moves through the pipe, scouring grease, scale, and roots off the entire pipe wall instead of just cutting a path through the middle. It's the fix for buildup that keeps coming back after rodding, or for roots that have worked into the pipe joints. Rodding opens the line back up. Hydro jetting cleans it.
When Algonquin Homes Need Hydro Jetting
We usually recommend it when:
Roots Keep Growing Back
Jetting clears the fine roots rodding leaves behind, so the line stays open longer.
The Kitchen Line Is Greasy
Decades of family cooking line the pipe with grease.
Soap and Mineral Scale Build Up
Well water minerals bind with soap and narrow the pipe.
You're Planning a Liner
Every lining job starts with a jetted pipe.
Why Jetting Works for Algonquin Lines
More than half of Algonquin's lines went in between 1990 and 2009, the age when buildup and roots catch up with them.
Maturing Trees
The trees planted with the subdivisions now send fine roots into joints. Jetting removes them more completely than a cable.
Well Water and Soap Scum
Algonquin's water comes from village wells. Groundwater minerals combine with soap and grease into a film on drain walls.
Family Kitchens
Kitchen lines in busy homes collect grease faster than any other drain.

"I’ve used J Blanton multiple times. They have helped identify a pipe with root growth through their No Drip Club. Mike Perez has done a great job walking me through all the steps to get the root out of my pipe and had to work through some very tough turns to identify the roots. [...]"
★★★★★
"Dominic was great. He was knowledgeable and took great pride in his work. The jetting job he did could not have been done more thoroughly. He truly went above and beyond to make sure the sewer line was 100% clear. Thank you."

Hydro Jetting Questions From Algonquin Homeowners
If clogs keep coming back, yes.
If the line keeps clogging after rodding, yes. Even newer pipe collects grease, scale and fine roots that only jetting removes.
Not when the pressure is set correctly.
No. PVC handles jetting well when the pressure and nozzle are matched to it. We check the line on camera first.
A few hours for most homes.
Most residential jobs take a few hours, including the camera passes.
Only when the camera shows buildup returning.
There's no fixed schedule. Lines with roots may need it every year or two. Lines that clogged from grease may stay clear for years with good habits.
It depends on line length and buildup. The price comes first.
It depends on how long the line is, how we access it and how much buildup there is. We quote a flat rate before we start.
