Hydro Jetting in Mokena, IL
If your line clogs again a few months after every rodding, the pipe walls are still coated. Hydro jetting washes them back to clean pipe. We camera the line first and give you a flat price before we start. From our office on Jodi 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.
When Mokena Homes Need Hydro Jetting
Jetting is the better choice when:
Rodding Only Buys a Few Months
A cable opens a hole through the clog. Jetting removes the buildup around it.
The Kitchen Line Is Coated in Grease
Twenty or thirty years of family cooking leaves layers a cable can't reach.
Fine Roots Keep Returning
Jetting clears the hair-thin roots rodding leaves behind.
A Liner Is Planned
Every lining job starts with a jetted, clean pipe.
Why Jetting Works on Mokena Lines
Most Mokena sewer lines went in during the 1990s and 2000s. After 20 or 30 years, buildup starts to matter.
Smooth PVC Holds Up to Pressure
Newer PVC lines handle jetting well, and it gets them back to full size.
Low Spots Collect Sludge
Where a line sagged, solids settle in a layer. Jetting flushes the layer out.
Older Clay and Cast Iron
In homes built before the 1970s, we check the pipe first and adjust the pressure to its condition.

"I had J. Blanton Plumbing come service a potential sewer line back-up and I was super impressed with the entire experience. My technician was Stephen Walen and he was fantastic. He scoped our entire line so we could see where our main line hooks up to off-shoots of our other pipes. He walked through all different short & long-term scenarios so we could make informed decisions. [...]"

"Rick was on time, polite, willing to explain the whole process. Tree roots had broken the remaining clay pipes under my front lawn and ramp. Inserting a liner with a 25 year warranty was the most logical choice I could make. The job went well and quickly. BONUS: . Here's a photo of plumber Ron Thomas with my dog Honeycomb. [...]"

Hydro Jetting Questions From Mokena Homeowners
If the pipe is intact, yes. We check first.
If the pipe is sound, yes. We camera it first. If a section is broken or collapsed, a repair comes first.
It cleans it out, but it can't lift the pipe.

Rodding opens a path. Jetting cleans the whole pipe.
Rodding cuts through a clog. Jetting scours the entire pipe wall, removing grease, scale and roots instead of punching a hole through them.
Often years for grease. Roots grow back over time.
For grease and sludge, often several years with good habits. Roots will eventually return if the joint they came through is still open.
It depends on the line and the buildup. You'll approve a flat price first.
