Hydro Jetting in Hinsdale, IL
If roots come back a few months after every rodding, the pipe walls are still lined with growth. Hydro jetting scours the line back to bare pipe. We camera it first and price it before we start. Our office is on Spinning Wheel Road.
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.
Signs Your Hinsdale Line Is Due for Jetting
Consider jetting when:
Roots in a Clay Lateral
It clears the fine roots a cable cuts past.
Old Cast Iron With Heavy Scale
It restores the pipe's full opening.
Kitchen Lines Full of Grease
Years of cooking leave layers a cable can't remove.
Before a Liner Goes In
A lining job needs a clean pipe.
Why Jetting Works on Hinsdale Lines
Some of the oldest sewer lines in the western suburbs run under Hinsdale's historic blocks.
Century-Old Clay Near Robbins Park
We check the pipe on camera first and set the pressure for its condition.
Remodeled Kitchens Over Original Drains
A new kitchen often drains through the original line behind the wall.
Heavy Root Growth From Big Trees
Jetting removes root growth from the pipe wall, not just from the middle.

Hydro Jetting Questions From Hinsdale Homeowners
If the pipe is intact, yes. We look first.
If the camera shows the clay is intact, yes, at a pressure set for its condition. If a section is cracked or collapsed, we'll recommend a repair first.
Rodding leaves root growth on the walls. Jetting removes it.
A rodding cable cuts a channel through the roots. Jetting strips the growth off the pipe wall, so the line stays open longer.
Yes, it's ideal for grease.
Yes. Decades of grease in an original kitchen line is one of the best uses for jetting.
We work from the cleanout and protect the area.
We work from the cleanout whenever we can and protect the floors around it.
