Hydro Jetting in Lincoln Park, Chicago
When several kitchens and bathrooms share one old drain line, buildup comes back fast. Hydro jetting scours the pipe walls clean. We camera the line first and give you a flat price. Our office is on Diversey Parkway.
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 Lincoln Park Lines Need Jetting
Jetting is the right call for:
Grease From Several Kitchens
Shared building lines coat quickly.
Roots That Keep Coming Back
It removes growth from the whole pipe wall.
Scale in Old Cast Iron Stacks
It restores the pipe's opening.
Prep for Lining
A liner needs a clean pipe.
Why Jetting Works in Lincoln Park
Lincoln Park's older buildings put a lot of demand on century-old drain lines.
Shared Building Drains
In two-flats and condo buildings, the main line carries everyone's grease.
Cast Iron and Clay
We camera first and set the pressure for the pipe's condition.
Garden Unit Kitchens
A below-grade kitchen drains through the lowest part of the line, where grease settles first.

Jetting Kitchen Stacks in Multi-Unit Buildings
In a building with stacked kitchens, grease from every unit runs down the same vertical pipe and into one horizontal line in the basement. That line is where grease cools, settles and builds up. Rodding opens it for a while, but the buildup stays. Jetting from a basement cleanout scours the line clean, and in many buildings we can also jet the stack from above to clear buildup higher up.
