Hydro Jetting in Naperville, IL

Roots are the top cause of sewer backups in Naperville, and a rod only cuts a hole through them. Hydro jetting clears the whole pipe wall. We camera the line first and quote one flat price. From our office on Main Street in downtown Naperville.

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.

Know the Signs

When Your Plumbing Needs Hydro Jetting

Jetting is the deep clean after rodding:

You Rod Every Year and Roots Still Win

Jetting cuts roots flush with the pipe wall, so they take longer to come back.

Grease Coats the Kitchen Line

Years of cooking leave layers that a rod can't scrape off.

You're Planning a Liner

Lining needs a clean pipe to bond to.

A Backup Left Debris Behind

After a big backup, jetting flushes out what's left so the next clog doesn't start there.

Local Knowledge

Why Naperville Homeowners Choose Hydro Jetting

Naperville's sewer problems start with roots, and jetting is the most thorough way to clear them.

Roots From Mature Trees

The city names roots as the number one cause of backups here. Jetting strips them out of joints and fittings instead of leaving stubs behind.

Clay Laterals Near Downtown

Older clay lines near downtown can be jetted safely once we've checked them on camera. If a section is cracked, we'll suggest rodding or a repair instead.

Before a Repair or Liner

If you're planning to line the pipe, we jet it first so the liner bonds and lasts.

Grease From Busy Kitchens

Large households cook a lot, and kitchen grease hardens in the drain line in layers. A cable punches a hole through it. Jetting strips it off the pipe wall so the next batch of grease has nothing to stick to.

Hydro Jetting Questions From Naperville Homeowners

It clears them completely, but they can grow back through the same opening. A repair or liner seals it.

It clears roots out completely, but it can't close the crack or joint they came through, so they can grow back. Jetting buys more time than rodding. A repair or a liner at the entry point is what stops them for good.

Yes, when we camera the line first.

Yes, when the line is checked first. We camera every line before jetting and won't jet a section that's cracked or broken. We'll show you the footage and give you another option.

It depends on the line and the roots. You get a flat price first.

It depends on the length of the line, how heavy the roots and buildup are and what the camera shows. We give you a flat price before any work begins.

Often one to three years when roots are the problem.

When roots are the cause, results often last one to three years. Lines under big parkway trees tend to fall on the shorter end. A camera check shows how fast they're returning. See sewer maintenance.

Snaking opens a clog. Jetting cleans the whole pipe, which matters when roots or buildup keep returning.

A snake, or rod, breaks through a clog and restores flow fast. Jetting scours the entire pipe wall with high-pressure water, so roots, grease and scale are removed instead of just pushed aside. If your line clogs again within months of rodding, jetting is the stronger fix.

Yes. We always clean a line before lining it.

Yes, and we do it as part of every lining job. A liner needs a clean pipe wall to bond to, so we jet the line first and check it on camera before the liner goes in.
